Clink! Celebrate with me, foodie friends!

Here's the deal. I've been angling for food or cooking column at one of the papers I write for, and the last definitive answer was something about "if we ever have a chunk of space to fill..." which is much like "when pigs fly" but a lot nicer.

Well, we had a chunk of space that needed words and deadline was well past done. So I wrote the first article for the column.

This is still not a done deal. Bad things can happen to good words anywhere on the way to being printed, but this is as close as it has come.

Now, please understand that this is a monthly newspaper in a very small town. The money for this isn't impressive, nor is the prestige.

The truth is that it's quite likely that in the future, this column will be competing for space against one of the other columns that I write (did I mention that it's a small paper with a tiny staff and it's not a big deal?)

However, I'm still pretty happy. Eggnog for everyone!
