https://juliadomenicucci.wordpress.com/2014/03/04/an-oyster-by-any-other-name

Reflections on books, publishing, and research. An Oyster By Any Other Name…. Photo via Wikimedia Commons. Writing an article about oysters has cleared all that up for me. Sort of. The most important thing to remember is that there are five oyster species found in the United States, each with their own geographical location, taste, and visual characteristics:. The shell has a fairly distinct point and the meat is on the sweet side. Anything by the name of Bluepoint, Wellfleet, Malpeques, and a host of ot...

The Anti-Amazon Agenda | julia•elise

https://juliadomenicucci.wordpress.com/2014/02/26/18

Reflections on books, publishing, and research. Nothing anyone says or does will make me like Amazon, however. I’m not here to vent about all the reasons I can’t stand the megacompany ( let this Upworthy info-graphic convince you. Instead, Amazon has been the object of many companies’ hate lately, and these stories are worth sharing. Help), I can easily appreciate the headline: “ IBM’s Latest Cloud Acquisition Aims Directly at Amazon. 8221; (And I hope they are right! 8221; Mark Constantine, the founder ...

Internship Recap #1 | julia•elise

Reflections on books, publishing, and research. Since I’m spending a good portion of each week–fifteen hours, to be exact, not to mention my half-hour walk each way–at my lovely internship, I figured it made sense to do a little cross-promotion! One of the tasks I have is to write a cheese-focused blog each week. My series is called “Talking Cheese.”. Talking Cheese: An Introduction. March 12, 2014. An Oyster By Any Other Name….

Reflections on books, publishing, and research. What I Be Project. Photo from whatibeproject.com. Although I am a Writing, Literature, and Publishing major, I am as interested in the power of photography as I am in the influence of words. I’ve always loved photography, and I’ve always loved English, but I never really thought about how the two might dovetail. Steve Rosenfield’s “What I Be” project. The Portland Psychotherapy Group was able to describe what I cannot. As I clicked through the seemingly end...

Sweet, Savory, or Smoked: Describing Flavor | julia•elise

https://juliadomenicucci.wordpress.com/2014/03/28/sweet-savory-or-smoked-describing-flavor

Reflections on books, publishing, and research. Sweet, Savory, or Smoked: Describing Flavor. Between writing an article about oysters and interning for a cheese magazine, I have been surrounded by foods that require precise flavor descriptions. Not all cheeses or oysters–or wine or beer or coffee or many other things–taste exactly the same. As touched upon in the blog post about oyster species and varieties. Read before you eat. If you know you’re going to be eating a certain type of food and will ...

Reflections on books, publishing, and research. Recalls, Rules, & Oysters. But the danger of violently expelling your precious (and expensive) oysters is definitely there. Some of these myths are so widespread that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has a full page on debunking oyster myths. From the local Corpus Christi, Texas, news, an unnamed employee of a seafood company, Alby’s, outlined some of the rules that help monitor food safety:. Commercial shellfishing regulations are slightly different s...

Reflections on books, publishing, and research. Oysters By the Dollar. Credit Todd Heisler/The New York Times. The idea of utilizing “loss leaders” to make a profit somewhere else is definitely not a new one. Amazon does it with my poor beloved books; Gillette did it by throwing free razors at the American public so they would buy the disposable heads, and you can read about a few more examples via this 24/7 Wall Street blog post. 8220;Loss Leaders on the Half Shell”).
