Is this an Indiana Hoosiers blog? Yes.
Is this also a food blog? Yes, sometimes.

Is this my favorite thing? This is my favorite thing. I'll be having several Michigan State potatoes, despite the fact that Sour Cream & Salsa has already clinched the Potato Regular Season Conference Championship.
You'll be able to purchase these at Bankers Life Fieldhouse when the tournament gets underway next Wednesday in Indianapolis. Of course, if you're a Hoosier fan, you'll have to wait until Friday -- Indiana's already clinched the top overall seed and will play at roughly noon on Friday.
