Winging It

I completely forgot that my article for Belle is online now. In it, I talk about my plan to stop using cookbooks for the summer. You can probably still pick up a print copy--available around town in those blue boxes.

How successful have I been?  I'll tell you all about it after Labor Day.  I'm just waiting for school to start, baby, just counting down the days . . .

Patrick Henry's Pub & Grille

Is school starting again soon? Please?

I barely have time to visit places like Patrick Henry's Pub & Grille, let alone write about other fascinating, bloggy things I just know you'd love to read, but I managed to squeeze in a review in today's Style Weekly.  Just follow this link.

Ideas Abound

For a thoughtful piece full of inspired suggestions about how to bring more local food to a larger number of Richmonders, follow this link to John Sarvay's blog, Buttermilk and Molasses. 

CORRECTION with link update

HomeStyle, a special, full-color insert you'll find once a month inside Style Weekly, has a gorgeous cover story about the farmer's markets around Richmond.  It was even written by me--but unfortunately, tragically, it has a couple of gigantic editing mistakes--not committed by me. The last paragraph describing the Byrd House Market somehow became the first paragraph describing the Lakeside Farmer's Market--although the two aren't very much alike.  The article also stated that Avery's Branch Farms sells their raw milk at the Ellwood's Sidewalk Market--but they don't.  Doesn't everyone know you can't legally sell raw milk in Virginia, silly? You can pick up your milk outside of E-T if you own a share in a cow, however, and Avery's Branch does sell pretty fabulous eggs and chicken.

There isn't a link yet to the the corrected text--or any text at all for HomeStyle, for that matter--so after the jump you'll find my original copy. Read it alongside the print edition and enjoy the lovely pictures.

{UPDATE: A corrected version is available--although it has not appeared in print--online here.}
