Smithsonian Magazine Food Issue

14 years ago

Just got my Smithsonian June issue in the mail (yes, I still get a paper copy, and I read every page, too). It's their first Food Issue, and it looks like every page will be a feast!

Articles include "How the Chicken Conquered the World", "The Perfect Egg", "The Unified Theory of Gumbo", "Salts of the Earth", "Sur La Table" about Julia Child's kitchen table, "Heaven on the Half Shell", "A Wine and a Prayer", "Can Technology Save Breakfast?", plus a lot of other articles on other subjects.

Check it out!

I still get a number of publications in hard copy. I pass them along to my mother and/or hospitals, rest homes, etc. for others to enjoy. Nothing wrong with that.

I read yesterday on CNN that the Times Picayune in NOLA is reducing publications to three newspapers per week. Oh my!

Latest Issue Of 'Urban Farm' Magazine On Newstand

There is currently a deal on Amazon ...they are having a spend $20 on magazines, get $10 toward any future order special. A TWO year subscription to Urban Farm through Amazon is $21, less the $10 future credit =effective price $11 for two years! That's $5.50 per year and is a FANTASTIC deal. For anyone who wants both of these, Mother Earth news is $15 ($5 more than direct from the publisher), but you get a $10 credit for any future Amazon orders, so the effective price is 15+15-10= $20 for both magazines. (as oppossed to $25 total if you ordered both individually). I order from Amazon all the time so this is a great deal for me.

Kraft Food Magazine's Lettuce?
Q
Comments (5)
I just went and checked my magazine, and I didn't get seeds in mine. I might have thrown it out, because if it was one of those advertising cards that come in mags. I always get rid of them right away. I get so bugged by those things falling out. Too bad they didn't grow. That would have been fun! What kind of lettuce was it?

I don't subscribe to the ones you've asked about but have perused them lately as I've spent a lot of time in doctor's offices. I would choose Better Homes over Good Housekeeping for decor ideas & inspiration. I love browsing through magazines and keep a stash of old favorites for reference. I've cut down on subscriptions because I was finding (last 5 yrs. or so) fewer and fewer informative articles and inspiring photo spreads and not just more ads but more & more pages devoted to product placement, "Editor's Picks", "Staff Favorites", etc. Seems a waste to own them when I can blow through the content in a half hour and toss it in the recycle bin because I don't find anything worth saving. House & Home, a Canadian publication, is my current favorite. And I prefer the paper copy experience more than the e-version, so I spring for that one. House Beautiful, too, though that's starting to go down in content lately, IMO.

I echo the Zinio recommendation. It's available from most decent sized libraries (including the Sac library) and most library subscriptions include many, many dozen and some many hundred titles. They have apps for Android, the i-phone and pad and Kindle HDX. And accessible of course from PCs.

Thanks Helene, I tossed our copy on the counter but took a closer look after your post! Love the 'Henry the VIII' look on that chicken.

All the photos/illustrations are special. It's always a great magazine, but this issue has extra flavor!

When CDs first came out and were extremely expensive, I was enticed to buy a CD which had all the telephone directories of the entire US on it; because on the ad, it said "If you buy this CD, you will be saving 400 trees".

Remember the White Pages? Yellow Pages? Sear Catalogs?

Wonder how many trees Kindle saves.

I haven't seen this issue but I'm sure it will be interesting. Regarding reductions of publications....how come I still get a kajillion catalogs of merchandise that I have no interest in! If mailing costs for them were increased, the post office could stand to make more money and maybe the catalogs would not be so prolific. And yes I do know mailing lists are sold, but.....
