Hi — I just wanted to let you know that I linked to this post in a new section of my food blog called “Lunchtime Links”. I really admire all the excellent stuff you have in your fridge, and kind of wish it was my own.
Please come take a look — tell me if you’d rather I didn’t link you any more, etc.
Thanks !!!

another long time, first time. I can’t cook to save my life. I don’t even like it much but we are cooking now because of the economy and to save money and to eat better and because THERE ARE FOUR RESTAURANTS IN GREENPOINT. I read you off and on but every time I read I get an idea or a flash or something inspires me. You write in a wonderfully open, accessible way, without attitude or foodie-snobbery, and this is probably why someone cranky felt they could criticize you, because your approach here is so down to earth and open. My response would have been to close up a little bit, but what do you do? You open yourself up MORE. You don’t owe us or anyone that.

Just know that a girl who can’t cook worth a damn is going to be trying your kale-chickpea-sweet potato thingie tonight back home in the BK.

Jen, your blog is one of the few I read regularly – I only comment occasionally but I am hear all the time (thanks for the info on the Government Center farmers market!) Our meals are inspired 2-3 times a week by something you made. I am a foodie, too, and a recent transplant to New England as well. I cook like you do — often not by recipe, but by inspiration — and I eat and buy local whenever possible. I had begun that journey on my own about 2 years ago but your blog and your posts about Michael Pollan inspired me to read his books – I even shared them with my book club.

All that to say keep on posting – so many of us enjoy and appreciate w peek into the meals of a fabulous, socially responsible, and innovative home cook. You really do inspire. Thanks

As others have said, I find your blog such an inspiration. Whenever I’m about to end my work day and trying to mentally catalog what is in my fridge and what I can make for dinner, sometimes all it takes is a quick scroll through your recent posts and something will come to me. Don’t let the cranky people of the world ruin your virtual home–

I just want to echo all the positive comments and say that I am a ‘quiet’ reader who has just started enjoying your wonderful website! You have inspired me to keep a recipe journal and to keep on experimenting. Your food and pictures always look amazing. Keep the faith!

Of freakin’ course you will use some oil and butter and meat in your cooking – most of us, even those of us on diets, do! This is not a diet blog and it is not advertised as one! The less-than-polite commenters can take their Molly McButter and 100 Calorie Packs and move on to another site.

It stinks that you have to deal with the bitter and jealous folks who lash out at you. Clearly having access to the internet does not ensure manners or class. It seems that in the blogsphere, few popular bloggers are utterly immune. So guess what? You’ve arrived!

_Please_ just keep doing what you are already doing so well.
