I've been away! And now I'm back!

And I have not yet uploaded my photos of the ATL (except to Facebook, heh). Here's a photo of kudzu I took last time I was in Atlanta - Memorial Day weekend 2007 - for your viewing pleasure. Isn't it the craziest plant?? Alton tells me you can eat it, but I haven't actually tried that...

If this is not enough for you, please read this bit about the politics of my favorite legume from Mark Bittman. I'll be back soon to tell you about my weekend and also about the cheesecake I made for Hugh's b-day last week. Happy Monday, friends!
