I’m pretty sure I last saw Terri Griffith<\/a> standing outside an all-ages club<\/a> in Seattle, sometime in the middle of the night circa 1984. Clove cigarettes may have been involved.<\/p>\n Last saw, that is, until a few weeks ago when, thanks to the freaky magic of Facebook,* \u00a0we wound up having lunch at the Wishbone.\u00a0<\/p>\n And, of course, we both agreed that this was very strange and a little dorky but was also really fun and we turned out to (still, of course) have a lot in common. To wit: she’s got a groovy food blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n Terri got turned on to the lost riches of the Culinary Arts Institute last fall, thanks to one of Mike\u00a0Sula’s Reader columns<\/a>. The blog — on which she documents her attempts to recreate such American classics as “Frank ‘N Potato Pie<\/a>” and “Meat Muffins<\/a>” — is part of a larger research project for a novel loosely based on the CAI and (I think I’ve got this right) its editor, Ruth Berolzheimer, described by Mike as\u00a0“a bit of an ‘oddball,’ a tall, intimidating, ‘crusty,’ and ‘critical’ woman who never married and who feuded with her mother and sister over money.”<\/p>\n Posting’s been light lately (pot, meet kettle) but maybe that just means Terri’s busy combing through “250 Delicious Soup Recipes” and will come through for a Soup and Bread<\/a> (only four more left!). Or, maybe she’s writing that novel — which is more than I can say for myself. In any case, behold: 250 Potato Possibilities<\/a>.<\/p>\n * I’m generally of the view that the magic of Facebook isn’t All That — the FB math seems mainly to just flatten time and make visible the connections between people already bound by less visible commonalities of childhood\/class\/college education\/computer literacy. But in this instance it was really a case of “Whoa! No waay!” I mean, Terri and weren’t even that tight back in the day. And now, here we are at the Wishbone, talking about food blogging?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I’m pretty sure I last saw Terri Griffith standing outside an all-ages club in Seattle, sometime in the middle of the night circa 1984.
