Best of Rhode Island 2009 Editors' Picks

We weren't even thinking about the granola when we signed on for PGP's Granola-of-the-Month Club. We were swayed by the ven-ture's efforts to give jobs to incoming refugees. But we were hooked with our first taste of the chocolate-spiked Chocobanola. Now we count the days until our shipment arrives by mail, bearing clever topical titles, inventive recipes and carefully sourced ingredients. If you can't wait, get yourself to Liberty Elm Diner and Blue State Coffee, where their granola is sold daily. Do good, eat well.
