food sites for January 2014
Tuesday, December 17, 2013
We might not be taking our morning coffee in the garden anytime in the near future.
Lately, in our part of the world, Winter has blasted us with everything it has to offer. Not that we’ve indicated any interest in being the recipient of such largesse. It does mean that (other than time spent shoveling) there’s more time for wandering about the internet, visiting tasty sites.
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 delivered automatically. The blog continues to be neglected while plugging away at a book project... but Just Served did have one new post. Unfortunately for subscribers to this newsletter, “What’s in a Sausage?” is not really about our beloved encased meats – unless “encased meat” is understood to be our brain and the reading we’ve stuffed into it. However, since a new year is about to arrive, you might consider reading about one of our January traditions: “Hoppin’ John for the New Year Celebration: Hope For a Rosy Future” – one that is mirrored, in Japan, with sekihan (rice cooked with tiny red adzuki beans).
You can (if so inclined) follow us on Facebook, and Twitter. You can also find links to all of our online scribbles can be found at A Quiet Little Table in the Corner.
Leitesculinaria has reposted twenty-two of our backlisted (and vaguely historical) LC pieces here.
To balance all the holiday excess, this month. we’ll add just one excerpt from On the Table’s culinary quote collection:
Now hoppin'-john was F. Jasmine's very favorite food. She had always warned them to wave a plate of rice and peas before her nose when she was in her coffin, to make certain there was no mistake; for if a breath of life was left in her, she would sit up and eat, but if she smelled the hoppin'-john, and did not stir, then they could just nail down the coffin and be certain she was truly dead. Carson McCullers
