Here's what was being written about today in the world of food and dining news:

• Clean Plate Charlie gets things started in a delicious way with a breakdown of the homemade ice cream cookie sandwich. We can't stop drooling over the photo.

John Linn

• Fat City has a nice little rant about fingers on the rims of glasses. Isn't it enough to just be appreciative no one is spitting in your water?

• Fork in the Road brings news of a Scotch so high-end, we'll probably be charged $20 just for reading about it. It's the new $4,000 Scotch from Highland Park.

• And lastly, because we rarely have a round-up without at least one beer-related item, The Hot Dish is highlighting five great spring beers. We can't wait to drink up.
