Where’s Your Favorite Cup of Joe?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Coffee roasters Batdorf and Bronson opening in Decatur… Sip the Experience opening in Lindberg City Center…. Starbucks was just the beginning (insert Dr. Evil’s laugh here). Big cities like Atlanta love their coffee lounges.
Where’s your favorite spot to grab a cup of joe? Why?

What Kind of Water do You Like to Drink?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The heat has made us all more aware of how hydrated we need to stay. I’m noticing more and more Atlanta restaurants automatically offering bottled water — still and with bubbles — to get things started at the table. When Seeger’s offered nothing but bottled waters years ago the restaurant was skewered for its snobbishness. Now we feel gypped if we’re not offered a variety. What type of water do you prefer when dining out? Are you willing to pay for bottled water?

What kind of corn is better, yellow or white?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
A couple of weeks ago I bought a bunch of fresh corn at the Marietta Square farmers’ market, and from a produce stand around the corner from my house. One was yellow corn, picked so recently that the husks were still bright green. The other was sweet white corn.
After years of eating Silver Queen white corn, I think of white corn as the sweetest and best, perfect even without butter and boiled just for a minute or so. But not all white corn is as sweet — this was a little bland, and the yellow corn was better. This weekend, I stopped at Osage Farms in Mountain City, Ga., where I usually stock up on Silver Queen, and saw that they’d added a sweet yellow variety this year. So maybe I’ve been missing out all this time.
With 12 ears of white corn in the box this week from Riverview Farms, the community-supported agriculture program I belong to, one thing’s for sure: I’ll have plenty of chances to compare.
What kind of corn do you prefer, yellow or white? Do you think there’s a difference? Do you have a favorite corn recipe to share?
