Food Sites for March 2014

Sunday, February 23, 2014




It’s the dead of Winter in the Hudson Valley. For weeks, we have done nothing but work, order fuel oil, shovel Sisyphean mountains of snow, then order more fuel oil. But Spring will come (no matter how unlikely it seems right now) -- and it’s not too early to begin planning your garden. A guest post on our blog, Just Servedfrom Marie Ianotti pours a shot of Spring tonic to get you started.

Regular subscribers to this newsletter receive these updates directly -- but there is much more at the blog that isn’t delivered automatically (Marie’s gardening advice, for example).

 You can (if so inclined) follow us on Facebook, and Twitter. You can also find links to all of our online scribbles at A Quiet Little Table in the Corner.

March is Oscars month (hence this quote from The Godfather trilogy), an excerpt from On the Table’s culinary quote collection. Admit it, you were puzzled by the photo at the top of the page, weren’t you?

Leave the gun. Keep the cannolis.

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 afflicted by 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:
