Results of the second ever first efforts image challenge

Thanks to everyone who took the challenge by posting stories, links, videos (LOVE that Bill Clinton SNL sketch!), and images (visual and otherwise). You may recall I said there would be two categories for the competition: oldest image and weirdest food. The winner of both is Brett Ommen, who provided us not only with the oldest image (TR eating at a chuckwagon, circa 1902), but also the weirdest image (Jimmy Carter in the shape of a peanut). Nice job, Brett!

Surely the prestige of this award will be recognized during my annual review.

This week in local eating

  • 6.4.10: From our garden, we're eating chard, greens, radishes, strawberries, and heaps of herbs. At the farmer's market we're buying the usual: eggs and lots of goat cheese.
