Alimentum Editor Esther Cohen wonders: when you're watching your favorite TV show ever notice what people are eating? On "Mad Men" everyone seems to just drink and smoke. On "30 Rock" it's junk food. What are they eating on the show you're watching? (TV, movies??)

The "Scrubs" characters are always eating hospital cafeteria food that looks much more appetizing than anything I've ever had in a cafeteria.

Alimentum FYI: We're going to start posting book reviews on our new website (debuting within the month): any book suggestions? It's up to our reviewers what they'd like to review but suggestions are welcomed. Of course, we're only interested in books with a food focus and more than just a cookbook (if a cookbook then one with lots of prose, too.) Creative nonfiction, memoir, novels...Let us know!

Alimentum Two things: We had a blast cooking up recipepoems at the Southern Festival of Books. And we thank Jim 'N Nick's BBQ for sending those cheese biscuits our way for the Poetry of Food session. Yum! A VERY tasty weekend! Here's Nancy and I stirring up the pot, whisking the vinaigrette, and cutting the homegrown watermelon!
