When Marisa stepped down from being the lead blogger over at Slashfood she was in a bit of a funk. She was afraid that Slashfood was the only way people would get to read her food writing, and that bummed her out.
I strongly suggested that she start a blog devoted to food that she could control completely. Everything on it would be by Marisa, and she could write about whatever it is her little heart desired.
That’s about as much credit as I can take for Marisa’s wonderful blog Food In Jars. The idea is brilliant: take Marisa’s unhealthy obsession with jars into something that is both fun to read and informative.
Now, I’m a little biased since I’m married to Marisa and all, but I think her blog is pretty darned good. It seems that I’m not the only one since Saveur (a fancypants food magazine) has included Food In Jars as one of the nominees for their “Best Special Interest Blog” category of their first annual Best Food Blog Awards:
So what are you waiting for? Go vote for Marisa! A vote for Food in Jars is a vote for America (I mean, who eats tacos everyday?).
