Dearest readers who have probably abandoned me by now,

I now live in the beautiful town of Carrboro, North Carolina!!

Yes, big change.  Thus my lack of postage.  Also, I just got internet.  It is tethered to a modem via ethernet cable.  I feel as though someone has handcuffed me.  Snobs For Wireless Internet Anonymous has a new member.

But here’s the most exciting part (for this blog, I mean) about moving!!  Carrboro was voted in the October 2008 issue of Bon Appetit as “The Foodiest Small Town” in America!  They have a famous farmer’s market here!  WOOOOOO.  Expect me to go on some Saturday (hopefully this one).  It’s year-round.  And I think I can walk to it.  So on Saturdays, I will pretend to be earth-conscious and not drive my (lovely, gorgeous) SUV around town.  

Also, I have an unpaid internship with Algonquin Books, and no paying job, so the elaborate home cooking has dwindled more to rice and beans.  But I love my life here.  So that’s okay.  And I am ignoring that business in the news where the economy stinks.  Curiously, epicurious (heh) just ran a post about money saving tips for food.  Beans.  Rice.  Pasta.  Tuna.  I think those were already fairly well-known for being cheap.  Unfortunately, organic food is not that cheap.  But I did make some more of that tasty parsnip and apple soup the other night (future post — the soda bread that the boyfriend made… omg… rum butter was involved - I wanted to eat the butter by itself), and successfully included (all?) organic ingredients.  So perhaps I can make my new year’s resolution to eat more responsibly work out.  

And later I must tell everyone about food-related Christmas presents!!!  Expect that in a later post, complete with pictures (they were GOOD ONES-;)- thanks Santey - and Dad, for the camera :D)…

Hopeful for forgiveness,

The Dsonienne
