No, there’s nothing wrong with your RSS feed. This blog has just gone very quiet as I’ve become insanely busy with an upcoming talk and my new book project (more on both later). I don’t expect to have time to blog till the first week in April. But I’ll have some delicious items to discuss then.

Can we just have one sentence about the content of the new book? I am working on the Smithsonian Intimate Guide and have read most of the others.
Thanks.
