Debunking Beer Can Chicken: A Waste Of Good Beer, And Dangerous
Famous Death Row Last Meals
In the last year and a half, Slashfood has been an integral part of my life. Over that time, I've written nearly half a million words, posted countless recipes and taken so many pictures of my food that I had to get a larger harddrive installed in my computer in order to store them all. It has been a delight to have the opportunity to write for and interact with the amazing community of readers and writers that come to this space everyday. However, the time has come for me to move on and so today is my last day as a Slashfoodie. Thank you to all of you who came here, read my posts, cooked my recipes and kept me on the grammatical straight and narrow. You made it all so worthwhile. I also want to thank the amazing team of writers with whom I had the opportunity to work with, I feel so fortunate to have worked with so many talented, passionate foodies.
For those of you who are interested in what's next for me, I will continue to make noise on these here interwebs. I'm going to be blogging about local foods, canning, pickling, jam making, food preservation and the occasional cookbook at Food in Jars. Scott and I will continue to make food in front of a camera for your amusement on Fork You. I'm still writing Apartment 2024, the blog that started it all. And finally, if that's not enough, you're welcome to follow me on Twitter.
So long, and thanks for all the fish.

As for teh Interweb, be sure to stock on up on Tubes.
Won't be seeing you on Twitter (you kids and your text messaging *Shakes Fist*). As for the Fish, you're welcome! ;)

One day's truth is another day's lie. Such is AOL.
Good luck my dear. You are closer to the 'people' than the literati. I hope you manage to merge the two a la Julia, Jacques, and Justin Wilson (before your time and not a particularly good example :).

You seem to be one of the few who posts consistently and it is nice to see a normal person cooking in a normal kitchen with normal tools, rather than on the de riguer Viking Range with the Sub Zero fridgie. You have given hope to many aspiring foodies who don't have deep pockets, but still want to make delicious food. All the best to you in your other ventures. It's been a slice.

3-13-2009 @6:46PM Vincent said... I agree with KF,
I remember back when you had occasional posts here and there. Now you're the top contributer in terms of posts! I slowly watched as it became more Marisa-centric. Surely you will be missed.

I'll have to keep up with you on you various other creative outlets it would seem (expect a new twitter friend!)
Also,
