First Folklore Friday of the Year!

Actually, it's the second. But I was in no shape for folklore last Friday.

• The New England Folklore Blog has an article about the regional food item Anadama Bread, and a picture.
• Ukrainian-American scholar Ihor Sevcenko has passed away. Among other achievements he was responsible for the first Ukrainian translation of Orwell's Animal Farm. His impressive obituary can be found at that rag the New York Times.
• The Chinese Folklore Forum has posted a transcript of Alan Dundes's 2004 AFS Presidential Plenary Address. Like almost all Dundes, it is obligatory reading.
• Lumberjack Blues posts about the Wisconsin beast, the Hodag.
• Yesterday was the 119th Anniversary of the birth of Zora Neal Hurston! You go Zora!
• Through Jason Baird Jackson's indispensable blog - a large repository of open-source journals for the study of Indian folklore.
