My wife and I are having our annual wine party in just less than 2 weeks, on October 27th. I always pick a theme for the wines, and each couple brings one red wine and one white wine that fits … Continue reading
October Preview
Fall is in the air! Actually, it’s not in the air; in SW Ohio, we reached almost 90 degrees F today. I’m ready for 65 degree days, a touch of fog first thing in the morning, and temps that make … Continue reading
Why blog about food?
One of my favorite non-barbecue food blogs has been Pinch My Salt. Nicole writes this blog, usually from her home in Sicily, but recently from a visit to California. She’s got a great blog about being yourself (not food related). I encourage you to go over and read Find Your Inner Bumblebee.
I’ve been thinking of the whole blogging thing. I’m mostly catching up now that I have a new computer, though I still need to get some stuff on WellFed.net! I’ve also been going through a lot of old photos that were on my ex-Dell, moving them to the new MacBook Pro laptop we have. Continue reading
American lamb board
A while ago, I was contacted, along with several other bloggers, to review some American lamb, thanks to the American Lamb Board (http://www.americanlambboard.org). They are the premier nonprofit promoter of American-raised lamb.
I promised to review the lamb, and I am finally getting to it! I know several others have already reviewed it, and I’ll have trackbacks listed to some of them, too. But on with the review! Continue reading
Food related research blog
I came across a site called Table Fuel the other day. Mariel runs the site, and the focus is to help with research for her Masters in Design Studies. I started out as an architecture student, and I like anything to do with design of this sort, so I wanted to try to help her a bit by getting people to visit her site. Continue reading
Carnival of food photography, June 12, 2007
Welcome to the June 12, 2007 edition of Carnival of Food Photography! Remember, the focus is on the photo!
I got a lot more entries this time… Thanks to all that submitted. I think I’ve got all of the entries represented except one, which was in a forum, not a blog… I apologize, but the Carnival is for blogs! Continue reading
My first sponsor
I was recently contacted about accepting a site sponsor, and I agreed… Our first official sponsor is… Bizrate.com! On the left sidebar, there are links to barbecue and grilling specific links on the Bizrate.com site. Please help me in welcoming … Continue reading
New York City – Chef’s Table Help!
This coming April (2007), my wife and I are celebrating our 4th anniversary. We decided, on our first anniversary, to not get each other anniversary gifts. Instead, we go somewhere for a long weekend together.
So far, we’ve gone to Cincinnati (close by, but still fun to stay in a nice hotel and enjoy the city), Chicago and, believe it or not, Pigeon Forge. Pigeon Forge is not my favorite place, but we had a really nice cabin with incredible views, so that part of Pigeon Forge was actually very nice.
This year, we’ve chosen New York City. My sister lives there, and we’re going to visit some with her, do some shopping on 5th Avenue, and enjoy a long weekend in the Big Apple. Yes, I’ll likely try R.U.B. or Daisy May’s, or both, but we’ll also hit Carnegie Deli and a couple other spots.
I’d really like some help, though. For one meal, I want a really great restaurant. There will be 3 of us going, and what I’d most like is a restaurant where we can sit at the chef’s table. I’m asking for help from any of you that either are in a restaurant where this is available or can get me some connection to get to sit at the chef’s table. The dates are April 26, 27 and 28, 2007.
If you can help, email me or leave a comment. If you even just know of a place, let me know. I’d love to review it, especially if you’re a chef wanting to get word out on the food blogs. I wouldn’t even turn down a comped meal, but I’m not trying to be greedy.

BBB is one year old!
I just noticed that today is the 1 year anniversary of me blogging! I remember starting out thinking I’d do an entry each day. It didn’t take long to determine that there was NO WAY I was going to keep up with that pace. I also thought I was going to talk about nothing but barbecue, but soon found out I wanted to talk about more than that. Continue reading
Congrats to Pinch My Salt!
It appears that Nicole at Pinch My Salt has won Best New Food Blog from the Food Blog Awards! I don’t know if it’s official or not, but I’m going on record with my congratulations! If you haven’t been to Pinch My Salt, you should spend some time. The photos are great, and Nicole writes very well. Not only that, she links to me here, and has commented several times… It’s my 1 degree of separation from a blog award! Continue reading
