Today is one of those odd holidays. Some people have the day off, others must work. Restaurants are clearly open, but school is closed. There's no real celebration or gift-giving or feast involved, but because it's an election year, maybe we should spend some time thinking about President's Day.

Or maybe we should buy a German sausage rug.

Or we could check out what Andrea Strong has to say about the New York food scene on her new blog.

We'd be remiss if we didn't take a moment to explore our feelings about cilantro.

It's important to weigh in on dark vs. milk, no?
