We stumbled upon this wonderful product when searching for lower carb alternatives for my diabetic husband. We both love the garlic fettucine with flax noodles! Awesome product – our local Meijer regularly runs out, so we stock up when we see it!

I went there today and their sandwiches were just as magical as I remembered. There is something they do that just makes it so much better then anywhere else. I can’t wait until the full menu returns. I’m going back tomorrow and probably the next day.

Comment on Scramble: Just Like Grandma Used to Make by Angela

Scramble* is an old family recipe around here too. (I found this post by doing a google search to see if anyone else had ever heard of it!). Ours has ounce sizes for the different boxes of cereal, and they all amount to about half a box of today’s boxes. Our recipe replaces onion salt with “seasoned salt”, and omits the celery seed, but is otherwise the same. It is truly addictive!
We called it scrabble until my mother-in-law dug out her mother’s recipe and discovered that it was actually “Scramble”. Scramble, scrapple, scrabble – it’s good whatever you call it.

Thanks for the updates. I might have to go back to reading Bon Appetit since Gourmet is getting shut down. I haven’t had Maitelates, but one read told me I need to try them (and also gave me an idea for a new use for dulce de leche).

Wow – thanks so much for the scoop! Note to self: venture out there soon, with an appetite for karnabeet.

They’re back!

Zeidan Bakery on Packard is now Zamaan Cafe and Bakery.
They have done some remodeling and planned a new menu.
They are still serving the Zeidan menu until they receive
brand new menus from the printer . . . and that has been
delayed.

3182 Packard Street

Will they serve karnabeet? Yes.

Comment on What to do with squash blossoms by Devany

Found some beautiful squash blossoms this morning at the farmer’s market. I found your site when looking for ideas of what to do with them. I love what you are doing. I just love to stumble upon wonderful food sites this way.

I bought 30 flowers for $2 and shared some with my neighbor. In Mexico we sauteed them and used them as a quesadilla filling. I think I may stuff them with goat cheese and dip them in tempura batter.

Thanks for writing this post. I had the same initial reaction to Ann Arbor’s food offerings, but I’m coming around, big time. There’s so much in and out of every alley. While it’s not to the same magnitude of NYC, it’s certainly enough to brag about.

Oh, and I also am addicted to Mailates Alfajores.

Thanks for the local highlights! Many good things going on in the local food community.

And I want to say thanks especially for the highlight on Maitelates. I know Maite is thrilled!

I’ve been lurking and reading here for the past 2-3 years, while a grad student, and have appreciated (and continue to appreciate) all the coverage and stories about what’s going on in the neighborhood.
