As many of you know, the nation's screenwriters are currently on strike. Every time I hear a news report about the strike, I start to wonder how many of those screenwriters are spending their time. They can't all be out on the picket lines and, as I well know, the urge to write is strong. So strong, in fact, that some of the striking screenwriters, led by writer Amy Ephron, have started a food blog!
They have started One of the Table, a blog that is described as being about "Food, Politics and Love." Right now, on their stories page they have essays up by Laraine Newman, Delia Ephron, Holly Goldberg Sloan and Arianna Huffington. I am particularly taken with an essay by Denise Gruska entitled The Only Girl at School with a Liverwurst Sandwich. Not all the authors are striking writers, but many of them are. It's nice to see them channeling their talents into such a neat endeavor. Hopefully it will live on after a contract is negotiated and they return to work.
