Jun 24 03: blog of note
As I promised a little while back: let me now sing the praises of Teresa Nielsen Hayden. Her blog, Making Light, is everything a blog should be: well-written, funny, moving, drawing from personal experience and noteworthy internet ephemera alike. (Note to self: try to make this blog adhere to these criteria as well, as soon as possible.) She, like her husband Patrick, is an editor (of SF) at Tor Books and lives in Brooklyn. We’ve never met.
Today at Making Light, two food-related entries: on making one’s own liqueurs, and on Mormon cuisine. I keep going back and forth, though, on whether the latter will be of more or less interest to non-Americans. Americans are at least passing familiar with the anthropology of Jell-o, so the shock value is lessened, but you have to grok Jell-o at least a little bit or you won’t fully appreciate the horror. Readers abroad, parlez-vous Jell-o?
And finally, make sure you read the comments sections. As TNH points out, her readers “are the best thing about this weblog. If you’re not reading the comments, you’re missing half the fun.”
What are you waiting for? Go read!
