I am trying to become the person my dog thinks I am.
Before closing for the year, I would like to redirect Gourmay readers to Bogey Pinson’s 2011 Christmas Dinner, now complete with several lovely photographs. It is well worth noting that good food, good wine, good conversation and friends who appreciate them all isn’t just a fading tradition.
This will be Gourmay’s final post in 2011 as our staff of one takes a well-deserved sabbatical from reporting all the news that’s “fit to eat.” I would like to thank readers and contributors from all parts of the globe for their recipes, suggestions and the occasional well-deserved insult and editorial opinion. Before turning over the stage to Gourmay’s Chairperson, Thérèse, I would like to wish you Merry Christmas and Happy New Year and close with a special greeting from my favorite poet, Rainer Maria Rilke:
Let us welcome in the new year full of things that have never been!
A special holiday note from Chairperson Thérèse: I would like to thank Gourmay readers for not terminating your RSS feed from Gourmay. I realize that the pickings have been slim this year, but I hope that you have been amused by Rick’s rantings while I have been trying to run a business, raise a granddaughter, cook, clean house and the countless other things women do so boys can play. I don’t mean to play the “sexist” card, but really!
As with any organization – both large and small – Christmas is often the time for a much needed reorganization. Countless male executives have advised me throughout the years that if you can’t fire someone for incompetence, the best course of action is to promote them. As such, I am pleased to report that effective January 1, Rick has been promoted to foreign correspondent from his current position as journeyman scribe. After-all, in states where English is now a second language like Texas and Florida, we felt that a reporter with a more a substantive title would be able to move up the food chain and give us better coverage for Gourmay.
My very best to you and your families and I join with Rick in wishing you Peace and Joy in the New Year.
