Food Blog

It’s been months since I listed any food blogs here or did any real work on the food blog list. I was going to declare a sort of bankruptcy, like Lawrence Lessig’s Email Bankruptcy in regards to the requests so far this year, by throwing them all out and starting from scratch, but I think I can get the emailed ones on the list. Here’s some of them that have waited the longest.

Ceres and Bacchus New Paltz NY. She’s been bribing me for months to get on the list.

Crumbs Upstate NY.

Home Sick Texan, New York New York. My favorite among this list. Tasty photogrpahy and recipes that make me want to make them, except fo the Chocolate Frito pie, although it sounds intriguing.
