It's Minnesota's Great Get Together here in Saint Paul--and State Fair time brings out new (and crazy) food combinations. This year, one of the most talked about new fair foods is Pig Lickers, which consists of 4-5 short slices of crisp bacon covered in a thick coating of dark chocolate...described as smoky, chocolately and porky. Also new this year is a Pickle Sickle--frozen pickle juice push-up.

What are some unusual foods showing up at your state fair, serious eaters?

Today's farmer's market here in St. Paul (MN) was a kaleidoscope of colors. I came home with a basket of tomatoes, bundles of swiss chard, dill, parsley, eggplant, basil, garlic and purple peppers. I am looking for a recipe for a tomato-swiss chard quiche. Any recommendations from SE readers?

Earlier this evening, I treated myself (or so I thought) to a piece of Newman's Own (as in Paul Newman) Butter Toffee Crunch. While I like Newman's efforts and contributions to charity--and even his acting--I was not impressed with this chocolate bar. What do you think about Newman's Own chocolate? Is there one you would recommend--or is the packaging better than the product. Is Newman's Own chocolate just plain old chocolate?

I brought my aunt from Chicago to NYC this weekend and because of a NYT article about red velvet cake, we spent 25 minutes standing in line today to taste a Magnolia cupcake. I want to know--was this a waste of time? Are magnolia cupcakes really THAT good?
