- All publicity’s good publicity, as they say. So they spelled his name wrong in a national news publication (“Suddenly There Are Long Lines to Buy Dirt,” Time, April 27). Austin’s own John Dromgoole, our Natural Gardener and proponent of square-foot gardening, is presented as a prophet of the new frugality.
- Former Austinite Martha Rose Shulman and vegetarian cook extraordinaire keeps a blog for the NYT called Recipes for Health: Talk to the Chef and lets us all know how to keep a kitchen that prepares food that’s good for us and that tastes just as good. Somehow, I had overlooked this blog, but I won’t from now on. She is a prolific author of cookbooks. The Vegetarian Feast was published when she still lived in Austin, and Fast Vegetarian Feasts, after she had moved on. Both have a place on my shelves and both have remained in print through many editions, for good reason.
