How cool do I feel now?

When this post came across my RSS reader today, I immediately dashed to the kitchen to see if the fleur de sel I'd recently bought was from Guérande.

It was!

So I'm feeling purty darn with it, even if it's by accident. (Take that, junior high school!)

In other food musings, today's lunch was some leftover catfish on toast with mayo, beautiful red tomatoes and a sheaf of crisp Iceberg lettuce. I considered adding a slice of bacon, but a brief consultation with my nutritionist, a.k.a. the scale, meant the pretty pork had to stay in the fridge. Sniff, sniff.

I never did get around to celebrating Blog Day, but I started to feel guilty about being so anti-social -- I skipped the 2nd annual food bloggers picnic not too long ago -- so here's a shout out to some of the blogs, foodie or no, that I've started perusing in the last year. I'm not saying they're original, but they sure are fun.

Pop Sugar. Because momma loves her celebrity gossip.
Sartorialist. Because even if one cannot dress well, one can appreciate looking at those who do. (sigh)
37 Days. Because sometimes we need to be reminded -- in a nice way, no more accidents please! -- that life is short.
Writer. Because writing is insular and there's strength in numbers.
Perez Hilton. Because... oh all right, because I'm a gossip whore. I CANNOT GET ENOUGH!

Hi,

Ann, I bought this at Mollie Stone's, of all places!
