Scholarly Business

This semester I'm taking a food history class for my program.  Now my father was a history teacher back in the day, and I think a little part of him died when I complained in high school that "but Daaaaadddd, I HATE history…." (whine whine whine complain complain).  

Well, I'll redeem myself now.  We have to write 1,000 word blog posts for this history class on topics in food history - anything we're interested in.  It's been hard to decide what to write about, but I've managed to do four so far.  

There're all here, mine as well as everyone else's in my class, so go to if you're in the mood for some serious (but short! and fun to read!) scholarship.
