We here at the Food Blog Round-Up constantly put our appetites and credulity on the line to make sure you stay on the cutting edge of food bloggery, so we can appreciate it when someone out there in the blogosphere also steps up to keep the words flowing. And so we present this Token of Esteem to Jon, husband to The Restaurant Whore, who fearlessly kept blogging, even in the face of a Saturday evening without a spouse. Our fearless wanderings led us to Chronicles of a Curious Cook for the first time this week, where we were delighted to hear she shared our appreciation for Pureed Parsnips, which taste good in addition to being just a lot of fun to say.
Pay attention, class. L'ecole de Chez Pim is in session.
Wow. High school French. We're sorry about that. Have a little wine snark to cleanse the palate. Then head on over to Vinography to read about a different wine apocalypse.
Sam at Becks & Posh throws down the green gauntlet and invites one and all to contribute their pictures.
We think it's time to admit it. We have a blog crush on eggbeater. This week she covers beets, a veggie we love and feel is sorely under-appreciated.
Bruce Cole is not so kind to Rachael Ray, so we'll end this week with a recipe for Stinging Nettle Syrup, though we do wonder what it's really used for.

We use the Stinging Nettle syrup for a light non-alcoholic beverage - add sparkling water and a squeeze of lemon. My son loves it!
I'm sure it would also make a base for a bevy of cocktails, martinis included.
