The other meaning of green…

posted in: Ruminations | 6


Get ready to drool at all the made-at-home marvels on Bon Appétit today. They’ve just launched their first-ever Blog Envy feature, a slideshow of holiday recipes from food blogs all around — and my cranberry Thai curry duck breast (a few posts below) made the cut! My envy of the moment among them — and this is due to the fact that I *believe* I tried nuts exactly like these at a crowded holiday party last Saturday (Sarah, were you there??) — are the Spicy, Sweet & Salty Rosemary Nuts from the blog Pink of Perfection. Plus, they look so easily transportable I might think of sending something like these to faraway friends and relatives as gifts.

What are your envious cravings on there?

And don’t forget: Monday, December 15th is the last day to submit your Reason #27 for Not Eating Out in New York! Get scribbling! (Big thanks to those who’ve sent me your papers so far. A-pluses for punctuality.)

    Congrats… but to be honest, I still can not go to any of the CondeNast sites since they force up a popup about subscribing to the magazine both when you enter and then even when you close your browser… VERY RUDE, if you ask me.

    Anyway, good for you and have a great holiday!

    cool but…isn’t blog envy a direct rip off of the food piece they used to have over NOTCOT – I haven’t visited in a while but it used to be a collection of great food shots from various blogs.

    Way to go, Cathy! Well-deserved, indeed! And your entry looks the yummiest to me!

    Responding to Jen: An article that features shots of different blogs can’t be expected to seem groundbreaking. Hasn’t every food outlet done that sort of thing? It’s like every magazine and Web site features a holiday wish list at this time of year…no one owns the exclusive right to publish a KIND of article. My two cents… 🙂

    Ha, no, I wasn’t at aforementioned party, but a lot of people have come out of the woodwork to tell me they make similar nuts. Seems like everyone has a version of them, which is great. And I was so happy to see you in the slideshow too. Congratulations!
