I went to E-T and ate the entire prepared food case.  Read all about it here .

Underservedly

Astonishingly, I came in second for the third year in a row as Richmond Magazine's best blog. Previously, I'd figured that John Sarvay of Buttermilk & Molasses and my husband were the only two people in Richmond who voted for me. This year John won first place, so I imagine maybe that's the way his vote must have gone, and the ballot form is still pristine, empty, and firmly attached to our copy of the magazine from the spring. So I don't have any idea how it happened.

However, the actual win makes me feel really, really guilty.  I haven't updated since June and most of my links to Style Weekly articles are, well, non-existent.  If you didn't pick up a print copy, you didn't get to read me exhorting everyone to abstain from blue crabs so that the population has a chance to come back in the Chesapeake Bay, or to read something I wrote in HomeStyle that I now can't remember. Where is my copy, anyway?

I went to Umi Sushi and I loved it just as much as I loved Ichiban, but a link to my exhaustively researched but very, very brief explanation about the dangers of mercury in large fish isn't out there. Yet. I always have hope and the new website should be coming soon (go check out the test model here).

So, I have been writing, here and there, but what with the summer and children home from school and various other projects, I haven't had a lot of time.  I've been going to a lot of farmers' markets and visiting farms, however.  In fact, I have a lot to say about that--in the near future.  Until then, here's another post from the past to keep you hanging on (and apparently you do, you really do).
