Modern Meals: Remaking American Foods from Farm to Kitchen now through December 31 at the Frost Museum
Fairchild Edible Garden Festival October 22 & 23
Pinecrest Farmers Market Every Sunday
University of Miami Food Day October 24
Although it was a wet weekend for this year’s Regatta, the photos by Marco Oquendo are spectacular and show the participants having a good time. I hope the weather next year is more typical of Miami in October!
Smarty Dogs are popping up all over Pinecrest. It is an art in public places campaign that is being promoted to raise funds for the public schools in the Village of Pinecrest. If you or your company would like to sponsor one of the dogs, there is still time. The dogs will be auctioned off in March of 2012.
One of the things I love about South Florida is how easy it is to fly to other places. A couple of weekends ago, some friends invited my husband and me to Bimini Bay for a long weekend. It took me longer to drive from the office to Tamiami airport than the 23 minute flight on LuxAir Charters from Tamiami to Bimini!
The crystal clear blue water, local hospitality, laid back atmosphere and Kalik beer made a three day weekend feel like a weeklong vacation.
Tomorrow is a Fee-Free Play Day at Deering Estate.
The last free days at Fairchild Tropical Botanic Gardens are this month.

I love mussels and think determining which restaurant has the best mussels is going to be tough, but I am going to try. Each restaurant has their own nuanced recipe so “best” is really just a teaser to get to taste a lot of “best” mussel receipes. So far, I really like:
Ortanique on the Mile: Red Stripe Beer Steamed Mediterranean Mussels
Michaels Genuine: Steamed in a roasted tomato harissa broth
George’s: Steamed with Garlic, Shallots and Parsley in White Wine
Cafe Pastis: Steamed in Shallots and White Wine.
My favorite’s are the first two. Have you tried any of these? Where do you rate them? Write down your favorite mussel spot…I am looking for some with a curry flavor.
