This week, my JMC 406 Blogging and Commentary students had to write an experiential food commentary for their blogs, and I got a fantastic group of stories ranging from eating mac ‘n’ cheese while sick with COVID to dining out in Washington, D.C. Come join us for the culinary fun!
Current #JMC406 student @alexhammeke and alum @sonnyoconnor give their take on the Culver’s cheese curd burger – one item on the menu I will never eat there. https://t.co/IYW9qSNnIF

Taking a nostalgic look at Grandma’s ham balls recipe. They might look a little funny, but @CopeLoper says they turned out just the way they should. #jmc406 https://t.co/LkAIOE1Scc

If you get a spicy enough sauce, Taco Bell can be the answer for lunch or dinner, writes @JoseLA777 for #JMC406 https://t.co/toVJwTCdl4

Who cares about the food? @visualsbykylie was there for the spooky fishbowl drinks. #JMC406

The heat-cautious @shelby_berglund goes a little crazy and tries a range of sauces at BW3 for #JMC406 https://t.co/Hayg3DU0fJ

Not all pizza places start from the same place. Flippin’ Sweet certainly lives up to that idea. @Khibimo #jmc406 https://t.co/VF1JNoFeYx

Is @LiermanMitchell’s post really a secret tribute to the bluegrass jam band The String Cheese Incident or is it just a reflection on instant mac ’n’ cheese while recovering from COVID? Can it be both? #jmc406 https://t.co/OxGyaoKG1K

And finally, was so sorry to hear about the death of pioneering food blogger Julie Powell, of Julie and Julia fame. Everyone who writes about food online owes this woman a debt. While I certainly enjoyed the Amy Adams/Meryl Streep movie based on the book, it did not capture the profane complexity of Powell’s online persona.
Julie Powell was one of the earliest food bloggers, sharing her journey cooking through Julia Child's "Mastering the Art of French Cooking." https://t.co/dw60R0ntuR
