Recently I needed to travel to the Bemidji area to finish some business related to my mother's death, and I decided that I should check out Villa Calma in Bemidji. It turned out to be an exceptionally good decision.

Sometimes, in Minnesota in May, it's cold and dreary, and there's a desire for warm comfort food. Whether you want to make it yourself or have someone else prepare it, there's a fine place to visit: United Noodles.

I'd heard countless times how fabulous the breads from Sun Street Breads were, when they first started appearing at the Kingfield Farmers Market. Before I got a chance to try them out, they went and built a retail location, complete with meals. And I began to hear about how utterly fabulous the breakfasts were (click on that last link only if you're willing to set your mouth to watering).

For a sad while, there was a corner of empty restaurants on Eat Street in Minneapolis, but one of the two large spaces has been filled, and filled might well, I have to say.
