Out and about on Saturday afternoon? Make a plan to drop by the Seward Co-op in Minneapolis between 2 and 5 p.m. and meet "Trout Caviar" author Brett Laidlaw.
The St. Paul writer will be chatting up his book, a beautifully written chronicle of his life as a Northland forager and cook (find a Q&A with Laidlaw here). Along with selling and signing copies, Laidlaw will also be plying shoppers with snacks from the book; as a die-hard fan of Real Bread, the farmers market stand that Laidlaw and spouse Mary Eckmeier ran for nearly a decade, I can safely predict that the nibbles will be delicious.
While you're there, be sure to congratulation Laidlaw: "Trout Caviar" is one of four finalists in the general non-fiction category for the 2012 Minnesota Book Awards. It's a well-deserved accolade, and the winner will be announced in April.
