eG Foodblogs: Coming Attractions

[andiesenji]

It looks like one of the bridges in the Sacramento Delta. I've driven over a goodly number of them - and have waited while boats sailed through. I don't know how many swing bridges are in the Delta and on the surrounding navigable rivers, but there are a significant number.

I remember one swing bridge that looked a lot like the one in the photo, over a river in Wisconsin when I was a teen but the last year I lived there, it was lifted and broken by an enormous ice pack. At the time there was talk of replacing it with a higher bridge that would not have to swing.

It's an interesting photo.

This is the place?

Very north indeed :-)

Pretty place dcarch - did you discern that from the posted photo? Can you share your detecting tips?

[Darienne]

The bridge and river makes me think St. Louis, Missouri. Way off, no doubt, but that's the way it is.

[heidih]

Further north

[Darienne]

Further north

Further north than MO?

[heidih]

Oh yes!

[Panaderia Canadiense]

As far north as Vancouver?

[heidih]

I don't think so because of the way the border curves northward as you move west.

The picture of the next blogger looks like it could be in Canada. Perhaps somewhere on the prairies?

[heidih]

Yes - 'tis Canada

[Darienne]

That photo could be just about anywhere in Ontario...land of a zillion lakes and rivers. It could be Peterborough for that matter on the Trent Canal.

Could it be Tri2Cook, way up north?

[heidih]

I am unfamiliar with the geography but it is Ontario but not Tri2Cook

<p>Heidi, that was a really, really devious way of saying it's either Toronto or Montreal. I'm going to go (with fingers crossed) with Kerry Beal.

Yes! Our next blogger is Kerry Beal starting tomorrow.

Turns out we will be doubly treated. Anna N will be co-blogging I think.

YaY! Pictures and food of my home! Manitoulin Island in the Spring is beautiful. Looking forward to this since I have been away to school and have missed the views there.

Do we know anyone in International Falls or Thunder Bay? Just a guess, I got nothing.

[rotuts]

Double Blog! looking forward to it. might learn a lot about chocolate!

[heidih]

Join Kerry Beal and Anna N cooking up a storm here.

If anyone would like to discuss doing an eGullet foodblog, please send me a PM.

I'm a few hours northeast (I.F.) and northwest (T-Bay) of those locations but so far I'm too chicken to sign on for a week of blogging. I'm at work fairly long hours 6 days/week so I'm not sure I could keep it interesting. Really looking forward to Kerry and Anna though.

My standard response to anyone hesitating about blogging is that: "At heart, most of us are super nosy about what other people really eat. We get excited about their choice of morning beverage, how and when they shop, and even what store-bought treats they enjoy. For a time it was customary for bloggers to post an image of the Pocky availability at their local market for example. No need to wow us. We are interested as long as food is in the equation".

So......anyone interested, drop me a PM

[heidih]

A brave soul will be blogging for us the week of the 15th. Teaser images coming next week.

As always - PM me if you want to discuss a blog week.

[heidih]

Here we go
