Wanted: guest food bloggers

Please help. I’m looking for people who are interested in writing food posts for the week of May 11. The blurbs can be newsy, informative, or thought-provoking, and should focus on local food- or restaurant-related topics.

Why will I be missing in action that week? Sadly, I will not be doing a Grand Tour of Europe or sipping margaritas on a Caribbean island. I’m having arthroscopic knee surgery and will be trying to mend.

Here’s what happened to my knee and why I've been limping. (Feel free to jump a few graphs if you don’t want the boring details!) I was in a bad car accident on the Beltway while coming to work last fall.

A Jeep Cherokee came speeding off a ramp, plowed into the back of my car, and sent me into a Jersey wall, where I proceeded to smash and twirl. In the process, my knees and other body parts crunched against the interior of my car. (Yes, I was wearing a seatbelt.)

Anyway, my car was totaled. I wasn’t, but there was damage. Now, after months of physical therapy, drugs, and giant needles, "scoping the knee" is the next step.

Now, back to you, if you’re interested in being a guest blogger, please let me know and I’ll give you more details. I’m sorry, but there’s no pay, just the glory of 15 minutes of fame. Thanks for your help.
