By I stopped by Studio 11 last week to purchase a stocking cap because hey, it’s winter. And it’s almost Christmas – look there’s the tree and the Christmas records. Some of us are old enough to remember slipping the LPs out of the jacket and then out of the sleeve and placing the record on …
Flavorlicious
Nate and Tanya Jobe Today at the Indoor Farmers Market, I stopped by the Flavorlicious booth. I’ve missed a few markets and hadn’t run across these folks before. What makes their products different from other baked goods? It’s what they leave out: gluten, dairy, yeast, etc. I tried their pumpkin muffins and I really liked …

Kuchera Rub
