"Order specialty items online"
date: March 21, 2007

If you like eating, belly up to Belly DuJour (www.bellydujour.com). Sign up for the twice-weekly e-mail newsletter or check the site's archive to get the goods on specialty items that can be ordered online or to be reacquainted with some forgotten foodstuff, such as a recent homage to the butternut squash. Re-lated recipes often accompany the breezily written picks, capped by quotable bons mots.

And lest you wonder if you're merely reading some glorified ad, the site notes, "Belly DuJour editorial coverage is not for sale."

Cool pick: Salted caramels from Little Flower Candy Co. (www.littleflowercandyco.com). "The sweet toasted flavor soothes and comforts, while inciting a fabulous sugar buzz. Adding salt to caramel confections con-tributes another layer of flavor, as the French discovered long ago when they first crafted their beloved sea-salt caramels."
