Last fall, I posted a recipe search engine, mostly for food blogs, I believe. The photos are great .

Bloggers are all over the board in enthusiasm and skills. It's fine. One just has to relax, take things with a pinch of salt, do some more research ...

Want something from the professional food writers overseen by their hardnosed editors and published in the daily press? What?! Oh no ... media! Well, the information flows one way or t'other .

Here's one heckuva newspaper search engine:

It's completely new to me but I'm learning! One has to put search terms together. In other words, you don't need quotation marks but if you search for "rosemary sprigs," it will show you multiple newspaper articles where those words appear together. It will not show you pages where the terms are "sprigs of rosemary" or "sprigs rosemary."

"Rosemary" ... it will, of course, include the stories on people with that name. "Galangal" would be a little different.

Oh great, Thanks Steve. Now another excuse to sit at my computer and browse. My butt is numb as it is.

@digitS' so are you saying rosemary and Galangal are the same?

G. Alan Gal. Reminds me of P. Allen Smith . I once had a business deal with a gal whose first name was Gregg.

I still had a hard time believing it after we had signed the papers ..! Yes. Three g's.

No, I'm quite sure that the Rosemary plants are not the same as Galangal but that one word is an easier search term than Rosemary.
