catherineldfI'm still finding the title nicely ironic seeing as I have never felt the need to make a real MN-style hot dish (casserole, for those of you living elsewhere). In any case, here are something of potential interest:
I was having a short conversation about the general awesomeness of Bath, U.K., with a friend on Facebook and wanted to recommend this marvelous bindery/used and rare bookstore while I was at it. George Bayntun Fine Bindings and Rare Books is wonderful and I want to shop there forever.
12th Planet Press is still fundraising for Kaleidoscope: Diverse YA Fantasy, which looks like it will be a really terrific anthology.
Kevin McVeigh has started a new column for SF Gateway called "From the Attic" on the topic of SF/F by female authors who've gone out of print or been generally overlooked or underappreciated.
For Twin Cities locals, photographer Wing Young Huie has opened a new studio called The Third Place on Chicago Ave. and 38th Street South and is doing all kinds of cool projects there. It's next door to the also fabulous Fox and Egg Gallery and Covet Consignment (consignment, art framing and art shows once a month) and two doors down from Blue Ox Coffee. Across the street is the Chicago Ave. Fire Arts Center and Smoke in the Pit Barbeque. CityFoodStudio, a test kitchen and market for new food trucks, is gradually opening up and the truly amazing StevenBe's yarn emporium and center of all things knitting is 2 blocks away. When we moved to the area, this intersection was a shooting gallery with a bunch of boarded up buildings. Let's keep the momentum going and support these terrific new places as well as the ones which have been hanging in there for awhile.
Sleeps With Monsters on Tor.com has a good post on "Reading, Writing, Radicalisation," also known as actually reading more than the one or two women writers of science fiction and fantasy that most fans and reviewers seem to be able to handle, a topic near and dear to my heart.
