FNJ Fans,

Thanks for your patience during our brief hiatus. We've definitely enjoyed the break after several years of near-nonstop news hunting.

It hasn't been all play and no work though. So many of you wrote to tell us how much you missed your daily dose of food news; and we promise: We heard you. We're hard at work now on a new plan for Food News Journal. Watch this site – and follow us on Twitter (@foodnewsjournal) – for news of what's to come.

For now, you can reach Fran at fran.brennan2 (at) gmail.com, and Shelly at sepeppel (at) gmail.com. We're also still both reachable at info (at) foodnewsjournal.com. So by all means, continue to keep in touch. We've loved hearing from you and hope we'll continue to do so.

Shelly and Fran
