Creative Nonfiction: A Call for Nominations

The literary journal Creative Nonfiction is hosting a food writing issue and calling for a few good food blog posts. Rather than asking for submissions, Creative Nonfiction is asking for nominations--a pretty clever idea.

Without a doubt, dear reader, I would like you to vote for your favorite posts from The Everyday Palate! These are a couple of posts that supporters plan to nominate: In-N-Out Burger, I Melt for Melt, The PawPaw Adventure, PawPaw Season 2: Admitting Failure, I Can Sweat Duck Fat, and The Greenhouse Tavern: Revisited.

According to Creative Nonfiction, ""Deadline for nominations: 11:59 PM EST, Monday, November 29, 2010. Nominate as many posts as you like, though we ask that you not nominate the same post multiple times."

You can cast your nomination here: Nominate A Blog!

There are many other food writers too which awesome posts I am nominating: Prose & Potatoes, Quest for the True Climate, Madame Fromage, A Written Recipe, and many more!

Thank you for your support! And eat on (in lieu of rock on)!

Give A Dog A Bone (I Mean, A Carrot)

Bleu dog is 3 today. And he's hungry. Always hungry.
He's hungry for the carrots I'm dicing for a Lentil Soup.
He's very happy when I offer him a carrot.
Off he goes with his carrot. Happy Birthday, Bleu.
