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.
• Can you believe it's already time for A Brief History of Food Blogs? According to Saveur, it is, and we're glad to have made the lineage. (Saveur)
Shop the Story
• A box of these would be, undoubtedly, hours of fun: Chocolate Mountains (designed to mimic volcanoes)! Cool enough for us -- and our wee friends. (Cool Hunting)

• The world's most inglorious waste of time: a traffic jam. Your expensive bluefish fillets, quietly wrapped in parchment, rest in your trunk ... for over an hour. Can you lather them with mustard and broil them once you walk in the door? Will this kill your family? You can foodpickle it, but now the government can come to the rescue too: Food Safety on Your Smartphone courtesy of the USDA. (USDA)
• We couldn't have said it better ourselves: "Wholly Cow!" writes the Wall Street Journal. We couldn't turn away from this video where a few brave North Carolinians take nose-to-tail out back to their grill.
