What it's about:
I'm a food writer in the Raleigh, NC area who got my start when I ran a gourmet to go shop and wrote The Last Bite, a newsletter for Very Vera (www.veryvera.com - see this month's Veranda Magazine). Dainty Morsel is the overflow valve. I also do motivational speaking on the subject of "Leaving the Safety and Security of Your Shell" and have a blog www.turtlemuse.com where I post chapters of a book I'm writing on the subject.

Anybody but me notice that most of the above mentioned favorite foods are white? Same with me - my go-to is my mom's potato soup recipe, unlike any I've ever seen. I think it's a variation of something my Italian grandmother used to make. Put a huge chunk of butter in a pot of salted water, bring to boil, add diced potatoes, a 1/4 cup of rice, a handful of broken spaghetti and cook until it becomes one glorious pot of starch, then add pepper and as much parmesan cheese as your arteries will hold.

Pastry chef Karen Barker's Orange Glazed Cranberry Pound Cake -it was published in Cottage Living Magazine - you can find it online. And my holiday standby: New England Cranberry Company's products which you can buy online - Cranberry Jalapeno Pepper Jelly, Cranberry Pepper Jelly and Cranberry Onion Pepper Jelly with Roasted Garlic. Decadent spooned over brie, chevre, or used as a glaze on grilled meats. We sold these when I ran a gourmet-to-go shop and couldn't keep them on the shelf. Last year I ordered a case and gave them as Christmas presents.

Oops. Forgot to add my second new blog, Larousse Bites - Personal Notes on the Larousse Gastronomique 1961 Edition.

Today's post is "It's Christmas so it must be Cockscombs".

Blog name: Hunter Angler Gardener Cook: Finding the Forgotten Feast
My URL: www.honest-food.net
What it's about/tagline: Found foods, foraging, unusual veggies, wild game and fish -- all with serious eating in mind. I am a cook who hunts, not a hunter who cooks. My bent is the Mediterranean (Italy, Spain, Greece, Portugal) although I have a weakness for American recipes from the 1600s and 1700s. I also review wines from both the Mediterranean and from my local regional wineries in the Sierra Foothills, Lodi and Clarksburg.

Great list, Adam!

Blog Name: The Kitchen Scale
URL: http://thekitchenscale.typepad.com/the_kitchen_scale/
What it's about: Trying to reconcile a love for food and weight loss. Mostly recipes and whatnot with the occasional rant about weight loss/body image. Its not a blog about what anyone should do, but its a chronicle of something everyone struggles with. Sometimes the food will be conducive to weight loss and sometimes not so much.

The blog is still a baby, I'm still finding my voice, and its been on a little break, but will be returning soon. Any feedback would be really helpful and appreciated.
