My talk at Monticello was successful, with about 70 people in attendance and quite a few copies of "The Founding Foodies" sold. The pic of me on this page shows me signing books with good ole Thomas Jefferson looking over my shoulder. It was fun to return to Charlottesville, where I spent 1962-66 getting my BA in English at the University of Virginia. Thanks to the Thomas Jefferson Foundation for sponsoring my visit and giving me a nice honorarium. This happened in August, 2012.
