Hyper Sac Food Blogger Force Team Go!

Wednesday, January 16, 2008

The name of this post entertains me but aside from that this post is my cop-out post due to writer's block. Still, it's a good chance to highlight some local bloggers who really deserve some limelight and your clicking over to them.

Tastes of Life - A Swedish real estate agent who moved to Nor Cal. With a eager desire to learn about wine she produces straightforward breakdowns of various wines with robust and clear notes about appearance, aroma, and taste. For someone who is eager to learning about wine, I like to catch up with her every so often and have used her advice to make well studied wine purchases that have yet to disappoint.

Hunter Angler Gardener Cook - Hank Shaw, a local political writer, is a well versed hunter, angler, gardener, and cook (duh). The man has not had to buy his own meat in years, and for the omnivores and carnivores out there, it's quite admirable. Not for feint of heart, expect to hear all about hunting and fishing. While it's not something I do myself, I find deep fascination for his closeness to his food. Hank has a deep, visceral connection to food that even the most eager foodies usually lack. It's respectable, and damn it the man taught me how to cook up a tasty wild duck and loaded me up with enough antelope to last me quite a while. Hunting - it's how you'll survive when the zombies take over. You'll also find some tasty recipes and some nice wine reviews as well, so be sure to check it out.

Tea Party Girl - Run by the lovely Jenny Wells, while not normally something I read on a regular basis, it is something I highly respect. Her writing is well thought, clear, and prolific. She has a very straight lace about her, possibly some doilies as well, but I respect her dedication to her subject. She touches on how to host Victorian style parties and the most basic of table manner's every child should learn -amen- and does it all with what must be a very Martha Stewart-esque smile (but without the child eating evil smile the homemade diva has).

  4. Thank you for the write up and link Garrett! I hope that chocolate red wine cake worked out for you. Next time you need to send me a slice...
    By the way. Loved your post on "Faux vegetarians". You are so right on about everything you wrote. Don't give me rediculous restriction on what I am serving when you are only on "the diet of the week"...

    Cheers, Victoria

  5. By the way. Just realized I do not have you as a link to my site. I added you. Sorry for overlooking that. I should have done that a long time ago...

    Cheers, Victoria

  6. I heard from the grape vine that you have some antelope...I had some the other night that was phenomenal. Very simply prep- olive oil, black ground peppercorns, and a quick sear to medium rare on the grill....it was really lovely....where did you get it?

  7. Thanks for this post. I just started reading food blogs, before it was just knitting blogs. It's always nice to read local ones......well as local as I can since I am in Pollock Pines.
