It could happen. Don't kill our dreams!

Temperatures are dipping below 70 Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights. Some nights, they'll even get below 60! By Floridian standards, that's damn near freezing. Luckily, it's rare enough (and not actually freezing enough) that most people enjoy the chance to pull a barely worn sweater out of the closet and snuggle up somewhere

There is no better place to enjoy pretending it's really cold outside than a humble pub. The men and women of the United Kingdom have had centuries to research the best ways to get warm. It doesn't get much better than cozy padded bench, a stiff drink, and some good friends.

It's 2012, and that means you don't need to make pumpkin pie this Thanksgiving because Pinterest exists. And because of Pinterest, you can MacGyver your pumpkin pie into basically anything that isn't pie.

While this Thanksgiving I'll be sticking to my pumpkin bread because I'm borrringgggg, that shouldn't stop you from stepping up your game. I found 10 sweet things to make pumpkin with that doesn't include a pie. Leave that grueling task to Publix.

Snowbird Dining Guide: Ten South Florida Restaurants to Hit Up

Spoiler alert: Jaxson's is on this list.
My local friends, we're only weeks away from the snowbirds flocking to South Florida to clog our roads, retail stores, and restaurants. You'll start to fill your bumper-to-bumper mornings by counting the Quebec license plates and wondering if you can teach our French-Canadian guests enough English so they understand what "you can drive faster than 45 miles per hour on I-95" means.

But we really do love our northern neighbors. As a former waitress, I counted on snowbirds to help me stock up on cash in the winter so I wouldn't starve in the dead of summer. We really hate you only when you forget to tip or hold us up on our way to work.

If you're an out-of-towner trying to blend in, we've got you covered. In no particular order, here are ten places where the locals are eating. Cautionary driving tips available upon request.

Candy Corn Oreo Debuts on Monday: Five Other Oreo Flavors They Should Consider

What hell hath Halloween wrought?

Candy corn, adored only by compulsive sugar junkies and dentists looking to finance a new boat, has been cross-bred with everyone's favorite sugar-drenched cookie; the Oreo. Nabisco will debut the limited edition Candy Corn Oreo on Monday, selling it exclusively in Target stores for the 2012 fall season.

Foodbeast got ahold of a package on Friday, solving the riddle of what the cookie tastes like. (Clean Plate Charlie's guess? "Future cavities.") The Foodbeast assessment? Tastes "like frosting." While you give the food-colored-laced cookie a whirl this coming week, contemplate these other flavors that Oreo should consider for a future limited-edition run.

It's official -- your days of waking up late and still managing to cruise into work on time have ground to a halt. School is back in session and the streets are filled with cheerful parents who had spent the past ten weeks dreaming of the day that their beloved offspring return to the classroom. One week in to the new school year, teachers who had been pleading to the gods for just one more day of summer have begun to embrace their new students, secretly praying for no whammies. 

Lunch ladies and other school staff also hope that there will be fewer hooligans running amok, leaving a trail of hot sauce and grape jelly in their wake. But inevitably, by the end of the first week, the usual suspects have started to rear their ugly heads.

Show your love for America by cooking some meat in the great outdoors. 
Just as New Year's Eve can make one feel like a loser for not attending the most amazing party ever, Fourth of July has a way of making one feel like a slouch should a backyard barbecue fail to factor into holiday plans. But you needn't write off your Fourth just because you don't have a backyard and a grill to call your own. With some careful planning and a willingness to rise and shine early on Wednesday, July 4, you may be able to snag a space at one of the many grills available for public use throughout Broward and Palm Beach counties.

To help you narrow your choices for your Fourth of July 'cue, Clean Plate Charlie has assembled a select list of parks with grilling facilities available to the general public. Some can be reserved ahead of time with a deposit, while others are free and available on a first-come, first-served basis. Wherever you wind up, find some useful grilling tips here and here, plus a list of five easy recipes here. And in case the whole grilling thing doesn't materialize, here's a list of restaurants, bars, and festivals where you can spend the holiday in South Florida.

After a hot day in South Florida, Dad will not appreciate this air freshener. 
Ties, mugs, socks, and talking fish. Dad gets some crappy gifts.

Father's Day is less than a week away, and the gift procurement clock is ticking. Did you already have a gift in mind? Make sure it's not on this list of the ten worst foodie gifts that you can give to Dad, because you're most likely going to disappoint.

10. Jenny Craig Membership
Your dad's New Year's resolution? Lose 15 pounds. It's June, and he has gained 15 pounds. A Jenny Craig membership will only add insult to injury. Plus, who wants to take weight-loss advice from Jason Alexander?

9. Giant Cupcake Pan
Maybe your dad is on the cupcake bandwagon. He's checked out every cupcake spot in town and even bakes a batch now and then. But mainly, he wants

Cheers to craft beers.
South Florida came late to the microbrewery trend, but we've got a fine array of local brewpubs. Skip the commercial brew and hit one of these local restaurants that feature taps of house-made beers.

Brewzzi

With two locations in West Palm Beach County, Brewzzi is the spot to watch sports, dish on Italian-American grub, and sip homebrews. The restaurants' Boca Blonde and City Fest are among the most popular and have snagged national beer awards. Lunch and dinner feature huge portions, and More »

In Honor of 420, Our Favorite Munchies

By Melissa McCart Thu., Apr. 19 2012 at 2:31 PM
Categories: The List

Today, 420, the unofficial cannabis holiday that results in a mean case of the munchies, is upon us. A friend mentioned a munchies salve for which Entenmann's chocolate-covered doughnuts meet a bag of crushed Doritos, a concoction that's scooped out by the handful.

Now, we're not advocating that particular do-it-yourself snack, having not taste-tested it ourselves. But we do have a couple of recommendations to honor the day. Sure it's Las Olas Wine and Food Festival tomorrow, but who wouldn't want to save room for more wanton food cravings?

The Georgia Pig in Davie.
Welcome to Tax Day, the last possible moment to delay paying financial obligations to the IRS. Needless to say for most of us, after-work activities will not involve shopping or splurging on a tasting menu. I'm really cranky about it this morning.

If you too owe Uncle Sam more than a paycheck, we're here to help ease the burden. Rather than resigning yourself to a Spartan existence of Cup o Noodle, we have assembled a few evening's meals for less than $10.99.
