@ossobuco,
												Gopnik is, if I remember, part of the new yorker famiglia.  I may remember wrongly on that.  In any case, I don't know on him yet.  Of course, he'd take me as a speck and be correct.
On foodie blogs, I did follow something like an edited  hundred and fifty of them, which any one can do quickly as blogs reference blogs.  But I had gotten in to honing down to the ones I liked and then had a computer crash (lesson, transport your links to elsewhere).
