Today marks the exit of The Minimalist from the pages of the Dining section, as a weekly column at least. There may be return appearances, but the unbroken string of more than 13 years and nearly 700 columns ends here. (I’m not leaving the Times family; more about that in a minute.) (previously)

Why Wal-Mart Is Making Our Health Its Problem - "So what's behind
the [healthier-eating] initiative? In a word: scale. In
a recent article in HBR, Chris Meyer and I argued that we'll see companies taking more and more ownership of externalities they could ignore because of changing sensibilities and better sensors (meaning detection and reporting of impacts by third parties). But we also identified a third driver: the scale of modern business. Whereas in the past, a single grocer could not have much impact on society, in today's highly consolidated market, Wal-Mart touches a significant percentage of the nation's food intake. Once you reach a scale where your decisions have ramifications for millions, it is hard to pretend that the impacts, even as distant ripples, are not your problem."

The Epicurean online. Charles Ranhofer's 1893 book
The Epicurean is available online from the
Michigan State University Library and the
Museum as part of their
Feeding America digital project. Ranhofer was the head chef at
Delmonico's Restaurant from 1862 to 1894; he popularized the Escoffier version of French cooking to America, modifying it to take advantage of American foods such as turkey, squash, corn, and Pacific salmon. Besides thousands of recipes,
The Epicurean discusses table settings, menus, various methods of presentation, and kitchen management. The book may be downloaded as a PDF in
two parts.

With the next round of
bloggies (or web log awards for those not down with the
hip lingo), there's some concern that some types of blogs with
large communities may not be included. Specifically, communities that are well known for
tons of online events, and large
gathering places whose interactions leak in to and out from real life. So, the food bloggers (floggers?) have done what they do best, and
started their own awards - with 14 nomination categories, the results plan to, at the very least, make us all drool, if not inspire a few feasts here and there.
(and yay to mefi for winning
last year's best community blog!)
