Dear readers, Here's Dinner Guest blogger [/mix/dinnerguest/afishstory?utmsource=NL20090304&utmmedium=email&utmcontent=JoanMenefee&utmcampaign=BloggingContest "Joan Menefee"]: "I believe we could all find one meal a week about which to tell a story — a fish story, even. And if we did, we would be enlightened or amused or frightened or gripped by that thing that we do about five times a day: eat." Now Joan's a writing teacher, so sure, she's all about storytelling. But honestly, doesn't everyone love a good tale? And doesn't everyone eat? We're happy to see our members using their Culinate blogs to report on all things food: their latest cooking successes (or failures), their cooking heroes, their latest finds at the market. This month we're hosting the [/articles/ourtable/thealmost-springbloggingcontest?utmsource=NL20090304&utmmedium=email&utmcontent=BlogContestOurTable&utmcampaign=BloggingContest "Almost-Spring Blogging Contest."] Blog on Culinate and you could win $100 to shop at your favorite farmers' market, plus other food-related goodies. We've already picked our first blog post to feature on the homepage: Laura Parisi's [/user/mydogischelsea/blog/thecarrotquandary?utmsource=NL20090304&utmmedium=email&utmcontent=BlogContestOurTable&utmcampaign=BloggingContest "carrot conumdrum"]. So what are you waiting for? Get blogging! Kim Carlson Editorial Director P.S.
