Shiny & New

Hi Loves-

I'm thrilled to let all ya'll know that I'm the new intern at Swallowing Seattle- esentially the Food & Drink portion of Questionland!  This is really exciting for me, because I both adore Questionland and food. It really doesn't get much better.

I'll be blogging over there from time to time, running my mouth and helping out with themes and contests on Questionland, as well as diving into a lot of new and exciting things happening with food in Seattle. There may be a bit of cross-posting happening here, and I'd be thrilled if any of my readers joined Questionland (you don't have to live in Seattle- many of the questions are more about the "what" rather than the "where").

This months Food & Drink theme is "DIY" and right we're talking about home canning and preserving- with cheese making, homebrewing, and coffee roasting coming up in the next few weeks. We have a really knowledgeable guest panel, including Michael from Herbivoracious among many others. We also have a contest going on right now - The Ultimate Sandwich Showdown! The winner gets a one month subscription to Rouxbe and the joy of eating said delicious sandwich.

Most importantly- I want to let you know that I'm not abandoning you! If anything I'll have more exciting things to share. I know that posting has been a bit spotty lately- January and February are notorious for kicking my ass, but I'm getting excited about longer days and busy weekends coming up. I'm hoping to get out nettle picking this weekend, and I start my first mushroom identification class next month. As always- I'd rather post less often with higher quality, rather than the other way around.

Love love!
