I found a copy of January/February issue of Saveur today, the one that includes TFL in the 2010 Saveur 100.

TFL gets better exposure than "Cantonese Roast Meats" or "Harumi Kurihara," less than the "Tuna Melt" or "Pyrex Glass Measuring Cups."  I can't complain.

Let me also put out a reminder to Americans that we have one final day to make contributions to charities if we want to be able to take the tax deductions in 2009.  TFL members have been extraordinarily generous when we've done fundraising in the past, and, as The Chronicle of Philathropy reports, this year charities are having a very tough time raising funds.  The needs both domestically and abroad are greater than ever and even small gifts can have a significant impact, so if you can afford to help, please do.

I hope everyone has a safe and wonderful New Year's Eve.  See you in 2010!

An early Christmas surprise for us all!

The food magazine Saveur does an annual 100 list of cool or influential food things in the world, and this year The Fresh Loaf made the list!  

I haven't seen the print magazine yet, but I believe they included the Buttermilk Cluster recipe that is a perennial favorite here.

Thank you so much to community member plevee who nominated TFL for the list. And, of course, thank you to all the community members who've made this site worthy of such praise.  It is truly a joy to manage this site.

Merry Christmas and best wishes to all,

Floyd
