Success!
Our first ever potluck turned out great! Fall themed foods were bountiful along with a variety of other treats like Nick's Jalepeño surprise and Rajesh's delicious pork chops! 

The Trotter House provided us with a large kitchen that helped dishes get heated, baked, melted, and ready to eat. Thanks to everyone who participated in the potluck and get ready to feast yet again at the next one

...where we were this weekend?


Well we know you are all busy on the weekend and so are we! 
The weekend is when we ideally collect articles, edit them and format them for the blog! 


We prepare a majority of our posts the weekend before it's posted so we tend to save our articles for Monday through Friday. We will be posting articles for special occasions and events on weekends so keep your eyes and ears open!


Speaking of events... if anyone has information on an upcoming food related event in Ann Arbor, let us know! You might just see an article on your event! Just drop us an email at WolverineCuiZine@gmail.com and we'll check it out.


So check out Sara's Socca Recipe and Look at the new changes we're making to the site!

The blog is running, the magazine is ruminating, and I have a new section to introduce. I will be editing and running a section called Local Flavor. We will be reporting on all those food-oriented events that Ann Arborites put together. We will give you restaurant reviews and comparisons, grocery store discoveries, market advice, and anything else we find in the area that we think will please your palette. We will be scouting for the best food deals in town to match the student budget that helps to make frozen burritos so tempting.

Now for some propaganda:  per capita, we have one of the most food-conscious cities in the country (no citation here, just a hunch), but I’m not sure that UM students are as involved as the rest of the city. I think there’s a gap to fill. Why don’t we have a farmer’s market on campus? Why are grocery stores so scarce? I visited Toronto this summer and the University district has more grocery stores than we have sandwich shops. I was unpleasantly jealous. The grocery store deficiency is not a problem that we can solve today, but I have a plan. Henceforth, I am making it my mission to bring a thriving food culture to UM students. If we bring the culture, you can supply the demand, and capitalism will bring us our grocery stores (an interesting conclusion, no?). If that fails, at the very least we’ll eat lots and lots of delicious food.

Returning to reality, we have a few articles on the way, including a series of Picky Eater’s Guides to local restaurants, interviews with Ann Arbor coffee purveyors and tips for anyone considering a job in the restaurant business. Stay tuned for journalism that will make your taste buds tingle.

College Cooking is a section of Wolverine CuiZine for anyone who is interested in learning the basics about cooking and expanding their knowledge of the culinary arts. It’ll cover anything from the basics of chopping garlic to random tidbits like how long ground beef can last in the freezer. Readers will also find articles including where & how to grocery shop on a budget around Ann Arbor.
