a plug for Cesare's and and idea for Kathy-jo for bacon fat

[Guest guest]

We were at the Dar concert last night and she asked for

suggestions for restaurants in the Twin Cities that serve locally-

grown food. While I didn't get to give the list directly to Dar (too

long of a line waiting for her autograph, and we had a babysitter

waiting and a train to catch), I did place it safely in the hands of

Mullins, who opened the concert for her and seemed very enticed

by the prospect of a divine burger at Cesare's. So , you may

have some musicians coming your way!

Kathy-jo, if you ever make savory pies, you could use the bacon fat

in the crust. I'm planning on trying this when I make my potato

torte next, since the recipe does actually call for bacon but I

usually leave it out. I figure if I use bacon fat instead of butter

in the crust it will lend a lovely bacony flavor to the torte.
