Food News Journal

Just the other day a thought popped through my mind (I know, my brain works, it's amazing!):  There's got to be some resource for news about food and the industry.  But where?


And then I never pursued that thought any further.  Should have, but being sick (and sleeping for 14-16 hours each night), homework, and work don't really allow much time for the things of my leisure.  I get a little reading in before work--while I'm sitting on the bus or waiting for metro--but that's about it.  However, I always manage to find time to read my RSS feed...my blog roll, if you will.  And one of the blogs, The Kitchn, mentioned that they were looking for new bloggers for their site.  Naturally, this peaked my interest (even though I know I don't blog much and don't have much time to blog).  I was reading the description and one of them was " Do you read Food News Journal every day?"  WHAT?!  No!  I didn't even know about Food News Journal!


Anyhow, now I'm totally excited about this and I have one more thing to add to my list of required reading each day.  I feel like a kid in a candy store!

The Sharper Your Knife, the Less You Cry

How often do you find a book that you just can't put down (unless you have to)?  It doesn't happen often for me.  I read all the time, but don't often find those books that you almost wish would never end.  That's what happened when I picked up "The Sharper Your Knife, the Less You Cry: Love, Laughter and Tears in Paris at the World's Most Famous Cooking School" at the bookstore last week.

It could have bored me to tears but Kathleen Flinn writes with such elegance that you feel like you know her.  You are her friend.  You are in the kitchen at Le Cordon Bleu with her.

Anyways, go pick it up or get it from the library (or ask me if you can borrow it) or something.  It really is a fantastic book.
