This was the 5th line of my 23rd post, which--to my dismay--was published just about a year ago. It reminds me that I didn't use to be particularly profilic on this blog because, like many others, I didn't start Gastronomie to be widely-read (heaven knows, if I did, I certainly would have picked a better name and better URL).

But then I think about all the people who've subbed to the email, who take a couple of minutes out of their day to come here and read what I have to say, and all I can say is "thank you".
