A few of the best stories we've spied elsewhere on the Web this week:

Not everyone is loving the attention Julie Powell (of Julie and Julia) is getting. Gawker sums it up.

The Gluten Free Girl waxes poetic about the Northwest's incredible heat wave, her hatred of the Yankees, and a cornbread she adores.

Our sibling site Shelterpop discovers a treasure trove of gorgeous Danish peppermills.

Rubix cube on rye, anyone? Urlesque discovers, yes, Insanewiches.

Gourmet writer Francis Lam gets his hands dirty at a Chinese barbecue joint in suburban Toronto, Canada.

As Shayna (and every major media outlet) noted a couple weeks ago, Starbucks is going to be closing just over 600 stores (616 to be exact) over the next year. Yesterday, they announced which stores, across 44 states and the District of Columbia, are going to get the axe. California, Florida, New York and Texas are losing the highest number of stores. The list on the Huffington Post is searchable, which makes it easy for you to check out and see if your local store will be closing.

The brand discussed in the article is called Laloo -- check out the site for details and adorable pictures of baby goats (kids, I know, but baby goats sounds so much cuter). After consulting the list of local dealers, I found out that it's actually sold at tons of stores that are close to my home. I'm a bit cautious about trying it, but if any of you have rave reviews, I may just have to go and purchase a pint. Anyone?
