Your Evening Sift

It might be one of the slowest blogging weekends in South Florida that I can remember. Dead as a doornail. Here's your Sunday evening Sift that closes out this weekend.

A- I have to say that I agree with Some Blogging Guy's sentiments today.

It wont be too long before football fever hits us, the carnivals and circus comes to town, plays and concerts start up in earnest and street festivals blossom. South Beach will actually be a pleasant place to go and the parks will fill up with little league games. Art shows, dancing groups and life, will return to South Florida.

And for me, someone who thinks any temperature above 68 degrees is unbearable, joy runs through my veins as Winter comes south.

B- Swampstyle mourns the loss of a good friend.

C- This week's chef in the spotlight is Joel Huff, Chef de Cuisine at Azul Restaurant at the Mandarin Oriental in Miami and South Florida Food and Wine asks him a few questions.

South Florida Food and Wine: Who would you most like to cook for? And why?
Joel Huff: My Grandpa, he paid for my culinary education but passed away before I began running my own restaurant.

D- PhinPhanatic wraps up last night's Dolphin's game.

Jason Taylor – Taylor is still moving quick to get up field, but it is obvious he no longer has the moves to actually get around the end anymore. He was knocked down several times last night by the tackle and at one point had to get up and chase the play down from behind when he was the outside containment. Taylor is old and worn down. But his value has to be limited to 3rd down situations. Last night he was on the field quite a bit. Maybe he will have a much better time against Tom Brady week 1.

E- A look at Flagler Street traffic from 1940 at The305.Com.
