SNACK TIME: Hanson brews MMMbeer, 365 days of Julie and Julia, South Philly adventuring, cranberry recipe central, £3000 mincemeat pies, Ron Paul’s patriotic cookbook, and Bobby V is to blame for the wrap

- The Hanson brothers are brewing their own beer. Proposed name for their flagship release: MMMhop IPA. Fellas, prepare to mistake a bottle for an attractive flaxen-haired girl and then feel really bad about yourself for the next 13 years.

- Remember how Julie Powell managed to cook every recipe in Mastering the Art of French Cooking in 365 days? Well, Lawrence Dai, a Northwestern student, watched Julie and Julia once a day for 365 days and blogged about it. I’m eager to find out how he managed to keep his sanity.

- Here's South Philly Silly, the blog of a 27-year-old native Georgia girl who moved to South Philly and is systematically shopping and eating her way through it. Check out her blog for word on her SoPhi experiences, local "Date Idears," recipes and generally deep thoughts.
 
- Got leftover cranberry sauce from Thanksgiving? How six extra pounds of fresh cranberries hanging in the fridge? The Kitchn has complied a list of 10 cranberry dessert recipes. Thank goodness.
 
- Everyone wants to have a memorable holiday season. But whale sperm sugar memorable? That’s pushing it. Read on for more of the insane ingredients found in this guy's massively expensive mincemeat pie.
 
- Ron Paul is publishing a cookbook. Let that sink in. Even better, each before-the-recipe-blurb incorporates his politics. Who is he to order you how to make a raspberry scone?

- Bobby Valentine, who's just been named the new manager of the Boston Red Sox, has claimed for years to be the inventor of the wrap sandwich. In case you needed something else to blame Boston for.
