Yes, foodies and friends. Foodie herself has turned into a quickie foodish blogger, a Tumblr-er if you will, and otherwise is focused on fiction writing. ( At last, no need for those pesky facts!)

Of course, she will continue to update foodmuseum.com, and potatomuseum.com, and work on a few projects related to same.

But no more major lengthy blog entries here. For quick and pithy posts on food from Foodie & Co., please see eatsalaska.com, eatsflorida.com, myfoodhistory.com, and foodhistoricsites.com, all via Tumblr. If any of these topics interest you, submit something. We are eager for contributors.

So, watch for The Best of....   And thanks! 100_3714

Breakfast on the American Interstate, in the motel chains that welcome dogs as well as people, is a desultory, joyless affair, with fake butter, chemicalized waffles, white bread, thin coffee, petroleum plates,and sugared-up dry cereals. Oh--and maybe a sickly sweet perfect apple, its skin tough as nails.

Breakfast on a young man's visit to Marrakesh, Morocco, on the other hand, starts out looking like this: Tumblr_lvc6uxvlKj1qzqj9oo1_1280

Blue and white, my personal favorite, real breads, fresh juice, and tea or coffee brewed for each diner.

Listen up! In these United States anyway, whatever is signposted a "yam" in the supermarket, next to "sweet potatoes, " is also and actually a sweet potato. Yes. There are no "yams" distinct from sweet potatoes in Amurrica.  The actual "yam" is a tropical African root veggie, with far less food value than the sumptuous sweet, and not at all related botanically to the sweet potato. They may be grown in Hawaii, but they rarely turn up on Thanksgiving tables. Oh, BTW,  the Japanese love the sweet potato, a native of the Americas, which they enjoy in a myriad of varieties, many of them not sweet. 

We poor Amurricans have to settle for three varieties, all of them sweet, none of them YAMS.
