Brew that coffee! Pour that OJ! And settle in this morning to catch up on what's happening in the world of food. Here's what we're reading (and watching) this week.

• DIY Mustard (Sunset Magazine) -- recipes to make this oh-so-functional condiment at home. We're trying these with the crunchy sourdough pretzels from Martin's Pretzel Company in Union Square Market -- our entire office is addicted.

• In the spirit of stocking your larder with DIY stuff, we're watching how to make hot sauce (Etsy) so we can shelve it next to a bottle of homemade Sriracha.

• Whoopie pie: big whoop? (The New York Times) -- Locals in Lancaster and Maine go at it.

• Given the fact that we use the stuff everyday, we're thrilled to have a solid word on everyday olive oil from Chef Sarah Jenkins (The Atlantic).

• In the spirit of self-education, a primer on sustainable fish (The Wall Street Journal)

• What can we say: we too are hooked on Gabrielle Hamilton-mania (The New York Times).

• As you cook your way through our pudding contest, there's no getting around ye olde vanilla bean. Consider vanilla! (The Guardian) 

• Calling all Boston food52ers! Tis the season for maple syrup and we're tapping an urban maple source (The Boston Globe). 

• An issue of serious importance, we are glad to hear that consumers are finally taking on supermarket tomatoes (The Atlantic).

• And, we leave you with a chuckle over Toys that really cooked! (Francis Lam)
