It’s Wednesday! It’s Food Stories!

by Staff Writer

The Food History blog (also one of the Fine Family of 451 blogs) is one big food story. It’s a can’t-miss, for sure! Check out Gillian’s call for volunteers to try out 18th Century recipes.

Now, there seems to be a bit of confusion as to what a “food story? is. Well, it’s a post about food. Like the one here about the lettuce harvest. Last week we had a group of photos of kids making cake. There might be recipe in there somewhere, but it’s more than a recipe. I admit, this is a new concept, and it’s my fault for not making it clear.

To be sure, I don’t want to disappoint those who submitted straight recipes with no narrative, so I’ll make every effort to include links to those recipes in future posts.

If you haven’t sent in your submission yet, there’s still time! I’ll be checking my e-mail all day and adding whatever comes in. The general focus of your blog is not important, just that the post be about food.

    I need to imprint on my brain “Wednesday is for food stories”. My brain is mush but if I say it often enough then one day it will stick.
