Elsewhere on the Republican side, the real wild card is former Massachusetts Governor Romney, not because of anything that he is doing now, but because of what he has the potential to do in the new year. Starting in 2008, candidates will be required to file finance reports monthly, but those accountings are not due at the FEC until the 20th of the following month. What his opponents expect and fear is that Romney will write himself a huge check shortly after the beginning of the new year to provide himself a massive infusion of funds for the early round...
...beer - began showing up. In March 2006, 5,000 Starbucks outlets in the U.S. began selling Rwandan coffee.

...Foraging wild foods is very much at the heart of Finnishness, where everyone has the right to pick wild berries and mushrooms even on private property. Yet there is a surprisingly big disconnect between the field and the plate. Commercial Spanish strawberries, bred for long shipping, are far easier to find on Helsinki menus than the wild Finnish strawberry exploding with the flavor of 20 hours of sunshine a day. And although Finns have figured out how to safely prepare korvasieni, a poisonous false-morel mushroom, by boiling it three times, porcini were long considered reindeer fodder...
