That was a fabulous magazine. <br /><br />When I was in high school, my boyfriend's mother who's a very, very talented artist, had a very chic breakfast room that was papered in Gourmet covers... everyone loved it! I know she will be distraught over this.<br /><br />I can remember when Mr. Magpie and I drove through Connecticut and ate at numerous places recommended in an article. We had the best food ever, and we might have missed some of the places otherwise.<br /><br />Yes, I'm sad about this and about so many other great magazines that are closing their doors. <br /><br />Thanks for the walk down Memory Lane. I pray their website stays up and running...<br /><br />XO,<br /><br />Sheila :-)The Quintessential Magpiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04010105595059019883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2209877942576268533.post-79085149346207552322009-10-14T21:51:16.956-04:002009-10-14T21:51:16.956-04:00What a lovely post.

Bought it several times throughout the years, but always loved "Bon Appetit" a lot more. Have subscribed to B.A. for almost 30 years. It's like all magazines, you like the layout of a particular one, and then just stick with it because it is there every month. I will check out the archives though. Thanks for that link.Schnitzel and the Trouthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04074542460030763545noreply@blogger.com
