I I missed that photo but those eggs look like a bloody good effort. If you are thinking of going into a poached-egg consultancy, let me know.

It's interesting how blogs have impacted newspeople though. If, in highly specialized realms like politics and technology, laymen can show up the "pros", imagine how much more impact we could have on a somewhat more subjective field like food critique. What I found most interesting about this article was not that the writer was upset by food bloggers, but by how openly she showed her disdain and hurt. Her article, in the guise of journalism, was every bit as opinionated and huffy as the blogs that apparently criticize her. Most (mainstream american) journos paint a veneer of professional, clinical disdain over their fear of the blogger phenomenon.

My blog has never been mentioned in print but I imagine I'd get a huge kick out of it if it ever happened. :) Go you! And how can you make a piece of toast look so amazing? That’s awesome!

Congratulations. Nothing like a free plug in the paper. This food blogging thing's gaining some momentum if the "real" press are noticing. I like the idea of an anarchic subculture circumventing the usual channels of op ed pieces/food pages. That's what a real democracy is. Where will it end? Bloggers Anonymous societies? :) Wow.

I have the latest Firefox and quite honestly I think its dreadful. When I get time I'll remove some extensions and see. But, hey, what's the point if I can do it all in Safari. Matt,

Time to upgrade perhaps ? Actually, turns out Safari can do it as well... no excuses then :) Check this out. http://8help.osu.edu/2143.html Yep Firefox for windows, but the feature is available in all versions of Firefox since the latest 2.0 release, which is neither slow nor over endowed unless you add too many extensions to it… Time to upgrade perhaps ?

Personally, I prefer to live with spelling mistakes rather than a slow overendowered browser. Asuming you use Firefox for Windows – I’ve no idea how to find this feature for a Mac.

Even Firefox has a built in spell checker for any textbox, which is great for properly spelled blog comments flaming :) Grammar and actually being able to form eloquent sentences on the other hand is a whole other kettle of fish. I'm just happy people can vaguely comprehend most of what I write. You'll also have to point me to the reference you made about Jamie (breakfast blog?) going to The Argo. Ed: looking forward to rubbing some of the polish of those embellished media types soon... If we can't join then, then we can at least bring them down to our level. Fer: danke :) Feel free to leave longer than 3 word comments as you see fit :) Hey Cin,

Expect more to come from The Oz on Saturday and possible in another paper on Tuesday. Sam I like the term "embelished media' and may just try and use that myself. Good point Cin.
