Savor Alimentum

While I continue playing catch-up after a few days in Savannah and Tybee Island, let me give a shout-out to the latest issue of Alimentum. This purse-sized literary journal is my favorite read this summer. It's good company, especially when I'm dining out alone. Tasty poetry, essays, and creative nonfiction.

Sympathy cards

* Knife & Fork is an ugly little newsletter filled with beautiful restaurant finds in the Atlanta area. It is written with passion and no apologies by critic Christiane Lauterbach, a woman who has been exploring the ethnic eateries of Buford Highway and beyond before most bloggers were on solid foods. The monthly publication is $26 for one year, $44 for two years. Send subscription requests and payment to: Knife & Fork, Box 15464, Atlanta, GA 30333-9990. I tell you this because Miss Lauterbach refuses to participate in this Web culture. I love (and hate) that about her. I say this as her friend. I gain nothing by writing this except, perhaps, the disdain of my favorite French woman. And the newsletter isn't really that ugly. It's just black and white and three-hole-punched.
