Food Sites for December 2012

"A Flatulence of Beans," an entry from Terms of Vegery


December is almost here, which means that (officially, at least) the election- and hurricane- seasons are blessedly over. It's a month for shopping, avoiding shopping, and serious digesting (all of which seem like exhausting work to us). Consequently this issue is a tad lighter than our usual over-stuffed newsletter.

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 slings more leftovers than most people want to face, especially this time of year -- but, if you that feel you're up to the challenge, you can follow us on Facebook, or Twitter. In the unlikely event that you find yourself stranded and book-starved, there's even a kind of index -- including a recently-added article from Roll Magazine, on Roquefort Dressing -- at A Quiet Little Table in the Corner.

Leitesculinaria has reposted several of our own articles – and there should be another new one appearing there, hard upon the year's end. Our backlist of LC pieces is available here, along with several articles by more noteworthy writers on the history and science of food.

This month's quotation from On the Table's culinary quote pages offers some advice for the endless dinner party that is the holiday season, but it comes from someone who was probably known as "Buzz-kill Bill" to his friends:

At a dinner party one should eat wisely but not too well, and talk well but not too wisely.
 W. Somerset Maugham

PS: If you encounter broken links, changed URLs -- or know of wonderful sites we've missed -- please drop us a line. It helps to keep this resource as useful as possible for all of us. To those of you who have suggested sites: thanks, and keep them coming!

PPS: If you wish to change the e-mail address at which you receive these newsletters, or otherwise modify the way you receive our postings or -- if you've received this newsletter by mistake, and/or don't wish to receive future issues -- you have our sincere apology and can have your e-mail address deleted from the list immediately. We're happy (and continuously amazed) that so few people have decided to leave the list but, should you choose to be one of them, let us know and we'll see that your in-box is never infested with these updates again. You'll find links at the bottom of this page to fix everything to your liking.

----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.

Thanx, Scotty!

(I can track the number of visitors... but can never tell if they're looking for my site or a country-western singer with a very similar name)
