New Shop a 'Bloomin'

It's March 11th, and 66 degrees outside. The 7 day forecast is full of 60s and 70s. The winter that never was is my new favorite.

Spring weather calls for Spring shopping, so my girlfriends and I hit the snow-free sidewalks this weekend. And it seems that great have been popping up in Grand Rapids during the winter months.

Meet the Local Epicurean* specializing in MIND-BLOWING small-batch artisan pasta using local products.

Mind-blowing is not exaggerating. This amazing little shop, located on Wealthy Street in a windmill no less, makes infused pastas daily. I advise you check it out... ASAP.

*Epicurian is a fantastic word, let's work this in to more daily vernacular— "fond of or adapted to luxury or indulgence in sensual pleasures; having luxurious tastes or habits, especially in eating and drinking."
