A hungry silence

It pains me to admit that Food & Paper has been quiet since zucchini season, but the cookie has crumbled, the milk's been spilt, and I'm still tending to the other fish I've been frying. My first semester as a bona fide professor is drawing to a close. It's been rewarding, oh-so-busy, and pitiably low on preparing, eating, and writing about good food. And this blog's been suffering a further handicap. I've momentarily lost the hungry mouth I'm accustomed to feed to the fine chef at the Center for Hellenic Studies in DC. Patrick is on a fellowship for the academic year, writing about the soul and reason and god and other unsavory things. Turns out that cooking for one is not something I'm particularly good at, especially when there's always that next Roman Archeology lecture to prepare.

This hungry silence may well continue into the new year. But, for now, let this note wish a merry season of eating and drinking to the readers of Food & Paper.
