Just Heard from JEP
"Most Serious Eater" awardee JEP has returned from her hiatus. In an email I received from her just now she mentions 1,500 messages in her in-box, and LoCo's thread from early April. She wrote, "I felt honored to read all the compassionate comments from the SE community".
In her own words, "I'm pretty rusty, so be patient with me while I ease back into commenting in the blog world". Please join in supporting her in this ... and in properly welcoming her back into the fold.

Thanks LPC!! I was truly honored to know the SE community missed my crazy ____ talk questions :) & wished the best for me during my mission. I've missed the SE community very much. I see lots of familiar names on posts & many new soon-to-be friends. Photograzing is an amazing new addition.

I'm a little late to the party. A heartfelt "welcome back". I've really missed your thought provoking (and sometimes, giggle inducing) questions.

WB JEP! I'm not a seasoned SEer by any means but I'd like to join the chorus of those who missed you. :D

Tell Jep to get back to work. It's hard to keep the gang entertained all on our own. Grab some fresh in season produce and hit the keyboard.
