Leena Eats for two, Happy Blog day, and some changes

Leena is eating for two! Let the chunking commence!

If you haven’t heard by now, it’s official by five months and some change: Leena is eating for two. The little baco bit will join us sometime in May!

In other exciting news, Leena Eats This Blog turns four years old this month! And as this blog has been always been a reflection of my life and interests, it is only fitting that some changes take place in honor of the new little one and our blog birthday. Something tells me I may have a little less time post-May than I may desire (especially if the baby eats as much as I do).

My Words in Print

Guess what. I was published…in an actual book…by real people. I know. I peed a little when I heard it too. The book is “The Business of Food: Encyclopedia for the Food and Drink Industry” edited by Gary Allen and Ken Albala. You can read about it here.

My Words in Print

Do you see the shadowy figure in the background of the picture? Nope, not me, but I have a sweater just like the shadowy figure is wearing, so that’s pretty cool. I wrote an entry on the history of food delivery in America. I know, I know, too much excitement for one post, huh? I actually wrote this prior to starting the Gastronomy program, which is kind of exciting. If you are looking for the perfect Hanukkah or Kwanzaa present for that loved one…this is probably not it. But get it anyways. People need to know more about the food and drink industries, damn it. And hey. I’ll even autograph my section. Lucky you. ~LTG
