Food Sites for July 2012

Wednesday, June 20, 2012




The July issue marks the beginning of our twelfth year of these updates. That's twelve time-wasting years provided, gratis, long before Facebook -- or even MySpace -- was created.

You're welcome.

Regular subscribers to our updates newsletter receive these updates from our blog, Just Served, directly -- but there is much more at the blog that isn’t sent automatically. Just Served dishes out more than most people can swallow -- but, if you're in training for a competitive food-reading contest, you can carbo-load with us on Facebook, or Twitter. Our Facebook and Twitter friends already know about our recent blogpost, “No Puppy-dogs, Please,” an unanticipated lesson in French gastronomy; "Thanks, Euell," where things get wild (some things, anyway); and they had a chance to hear a recent radio interview that was part of a virtual book tour. Serious competitors can flex their gastronomic muscles at A Quiet Little Table in the Corner.

This month's quotation from On the Table's culinary quote pages, is just the thing for those summer day doldrums:

"Coffee is a great way to fool yourself into believing you're going to have a productive day." Bill Murray

----yet more blogs----






----that's all for now----

Except, of course, for the usual legalistic mumbo-jumbo and commercial flim-flam:

Your privacy is important to us. We will not give, sell or share your e-mail address with anyone, for any purpose -- ever. Nonetheless, we will expose you to the following irredeemably brazen plugs:


Here endeth the sales pitch(es)...

...for the moment, anyway.

Thanks, CJ!

Probably won't be a new edition 'til first print run has sold -- but I've been updating the text since the book went to press, so it'll be ready to go.
