I've been meaning to post for a long time to let the few straggling readers know that this incarnation of the Fresh Sheet blog soon will be shuttered.

When the Spokesman-Review makes its switch to a redesigned Web site in the next few weeks, the Fresh Sheet won't be moving with it. Since I heard that news I haven't been posting.

We've a host of ideas for a new blog someday soon that would focus on food at home and beyond in Spokane. So stay tuned to The Spokesman-Review for that information.

If I had been blogging, I would have been sure to post about the fabulous peaches we picked... and picked... and picked at Green Bluff this summer. It seemed as if the season might go on forever.

Or, I might had told you about the two lonely hot peppers we grew in our garden this summer and our plans for them.

Or, perhaps I would have gushed about the way we wrapped up summer with the most delicious blackberry cobbler. We picked the fruit at the wonderful Eleven Acres (as well as Japanese eggplant and green beans.

Or, how I considered driving 20 miles out of my way each week after I heard that Fresh Start Produce in Otis Orchards was struggling.

In the meantime, if have any ideas for stories, you're searching for a recipe or you just want to let me know that it's Main Avenue and not Main Street in Spokane give me a holler. I can be reached at lorieh@spokesman.com

As a media spectator I have watched print publications try and figure out how to fit into the web world. I am interested to see what they come up with. I hope to see your writing as part of the new look.

Thanks for the kind note.

I'd love to hear any insight.

It's been fun doing the blog ... and I expect to be back at it soon enough.

Going to miss you, I've found a number of places to check out in Spokane for picking up ingredients I can't find down here in Moscow. It's been nice having the blog up there with info.
