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.

• Feed the need! NYC's Hot Bread Kitchen is helping people help themselves through teaching bread baking. Celebrate women who bake at an event with NYC's preeminent female bakers and support this noble and historic cause. Help preserve the tradition because everyone needs their daily bread.  

• You do everything you should -- shop at the farmers' market, compost, scowl at the mention of "corn syrup." And, you've just survived a heinous winter with nothing but a pile of ramps in sight, and yet, our favorite spring vegetable just hit the endangered species list: "When Digging for Ramps Goes Too Deep" (The New York Times

Love the mobile market idea. Hopefully that'll catch on and go to other cities as well!

Enjoyed the article on the ramps. But it steams me that broad conclusions are being drawn from single observations. One truck loaded with ramps. And it's now endangered? Really? Hard to believe.
