    The Return of the LTHForum Calendar!

    Plus more LTHForum Holiday merchandise your loved ones will love!


    It remains the bestselling LTHForum geegaw ever-- the 2005 LTHForum calendar showcasing 12 mouthwatering months of food porn.

    You can't buy one now. And I've resisted making another one for years, because printing and binding them myself was a royal pain. But through the magic of Cafe Press, now someone else can handle that part. And so, at long last, it returns...

    Image

    13 LTHers contributed their photos to the calendar, cover included. They scoured the world to bring back pictures like Rene G's blue collar lunch at Dizzy Whizz in Louisville, Kentucky... Bridgestone preparing fresh mackerel from the market in Stockholm... Eatchicago's painterly tableau worthy of Raphael, from a forno in Rome... and Stevez's ceviche by the pool in Puerto Vallarta. And they spared no expense to show homemade dishes like Ronnie Suburban's mouthwateringly brilliant-orange homemade lox... Crrush's all-female sausage-making party... or Bill/SFNM's homemade, homesmoked morteau. (Thanks not only to the photographers-- who also include G Wiv, Kuhdo, Pigmon, Christopher Kreynus, Thaiobsessed, Brandon W and myself-- but to the folks who nominated photos for the photo contest; I drew on those suggestions quite a bit in picking the 13 shots featured.)

    Each image is reproduced full-res at giant size (8.5" x 11") and in brilliant color, so you get the full impact of LTHForum hunger-producing power on your fridge or cubicle wall. (How soon is lunch? Better check my pork clock!)

    Image

    I've got the real thing in front of me and the reproduction in the large format is really gorgeous. You'll be very happy with the quality of this item (especially if you're one of the photographers).

    Now, you'd expect to pay a million trillion gazillion for something this tasty, but in fact it's just $16.99-- less than a nickel a day!

    Order your LTHForum Foodporn Calendar here. Right now.

    But wait-- there's more!

    Before you click that buy button, there's more LTHForum merchandise to consider for your holiday gift-giving. Starting with...

    Image

    My own black and white image of a classic diner (The Depot, to be precise), on a set of 10 notecards, just $10.99.

    Order Classic Diner note cards here.

    New in apparel this year: the LTHForum hoodie, perfect for showing your priorities are straight even while jogging:

    And there's items like the environmentally conscious, even-hipper-than-Whole-Foods canvas bag, emblazoned with two classic taglines from LTHForum, just $13.99:

    The new note cards are especially cool -- a very fine addition to the product portfolio.

    Mike,

    Having had a sneak preview at lunch today, I can attest to, not only the quality, but sheer gastropornific joy of the LTHForum Calendar.

    Calendar and other items soon to be on order, Ellen is going to love the hoodie.

    Enjoy,
    Gary

    I'm visiting family out of the country for the holidays, and I can pack my suitcase now. All of the kids are getting Threadless t-shirts and all of the adults LTH calendars. My order from Cafe Press just arrived today--the calendar is beautiful. It's definitely a quality product--the images, of course, but also the paper and construction of the whole thing. I'm very pleased.

    My calendar arrived today and the images are just stunning! I love the 'international' flavor of it. The tote bags are great, too.

    Thanks, Mike, for putting this all together -- especially the calendar. You did a wonderful job.

    FYI, Cafe Press has a $30 off a $100 purchase offer today only. That's five calendars and a mug to then basically get two of the calendars free (almost). Or whatever other combination of goodies gets you to $100 (before shipping)! (Of course, it applies to a total Cafe Press order, not just LTHForum stuff, so you can find all kinds of goodies in their marketplace.)

    Go here to shop:

    www.cafepress.com/lthforum

    When you're done, enter "holiday30" as the gift code. Again, today only!

    3 DAYS LEFT TO ORDER LTHFORUM GEAR FROM CAFE PRESS!

    Leafing through the LTHForum Foodporn Calendar at the holiday party, Vital Information commented "It's a shame people can't see on the computer how beautiful the printing is."

    And there you have it. You have to order an LTHForum Foodporn Calendar, or several, to see just how gorgeously these photos came out.

    Cafe Press's order cutoff for Christmas delivery is Wednesday. (Tuesday is the last day for somewhat less expensive shipping. Wednesday's the last day for Express shipping.) Go to http://www.cafepress.com/lthforum and stock up on calendars, shirts, hoodies, notecards, Pork Clocks and all sorts of unique goodies to thrill family members.
