Famous Death Row Last Meals
If you ever gave any thought to writing for Slashfood, this is your big chance. We're looking for a couple of food-loving writers to join our team! We are looking for:
- A weekday writer
- A weekend writer
First and foremost, you should love food, dining out and cooking. You must also enjoy writing about it and be capable of expressing yourself in a clear, engaging way. If you enjoy photography, that's a plus; we love food porn. You don't have to be a professional writer, or even have you own blog, but you should be familiar with blogs including Slashfood and other members of the food blogging community. And, all glory aside, we do pay our writers.
We need someone who can commit to blogging daily or every weekend, but we're extremely flexible about the schedule. To apply, we need:
- Three sample posts (original material, please, not links to existing posts on a blog)
- A few words about yourself and why you're interested in food or writing about food
- Your contact info
- The position you're applying for, your location, and scheduling, including a ballpark number of posts per week
No attachments, please. Put everything in the body of your email. Once your application is complete, send us an e-mail at leadsATslashfoodDOTcom.

9-18-2006 @12:24PM Tried to Apply said... I attempted to send in an application from multiple email addresses, but I got delivery failure notices every time I tried to send in my application. Is there another way you want to take submissions since leads at slashfood dot com appears to be inactive?

First of all I'm a 57 y.o.female disabled veteran who has eaten in quite a few places in america and the far east. Since I'm disabled I don't work. And this bores me to death, or to the kitchen. whichever comes first. I love to eat out and am very critical of the atmosphere, service, and lets not forget the food. I love to eat in. That way I know the food will be perfect. I'll gladly share my recipes and kitchen information. And I will accept an invitation to dinner at a friends house anytime.if the friends food is good I'll give them credit. But if it's bad I'll take credit for it. No article is worth a good friendship. I can accept the critism. I'm from the south. So a lot of me cooking is (southern,homestyle,soul food,stick to your ribs)style. But I do a mean Tex-Mex,cajun,chamorro(Guam) Japanese with a little Yankee thrown just for the heck of it. I will gladly share some of my expertise with ya'll. Just let me know when,where,and how. Bye for now. Georgia Smith gmazs4@aol.com

FISH GUMBO
season all
2 tbsp olive oil
4 pieces of any fish you choose
1 can stewed tomatoes
1/2 pkg frozen okra
In your biggest frying pan add olive oil,fish,and season all to taste. Cook on med-high until almost done(about 5 min.). Sprinkle okra over fish. Pour tomatoes on top and cook covered for 10 min. Perfect served with rice. That way you get your protein, starch,and vegatables and only mess up two pots. OH YEA--perfect rice every time...
BASIC RICE
1 cup rice
2cups water
add rice to water. Bring to boil.Cover. Turn temp to low.Cook 20 min(no less no more)DO NOT LIFT LID)The steam locked into the pot is what makes the rice perfect

11-19-2006 @4:40PM Mary said... Georgia: "African" isn't a language. How can "gumbo" be the African word for okra?
(It's derived from a word meaning "okra" in one of the western African languages, true, but saying "the African word for" is like saying something is "the Native American word for." There's no such thing.
Once I saw an older man fishing from the rocks under the north end of the Golden Gate Bridge. He had a five gallon bucket with some sea water and a little of everything in there, a couple of fish, a crab. I said, "What are you catching?" He replied, "Gumbo."
