Thanks to Art's hard work, my blog is up and running again! I hope you all like the slight redesign.  

To make things a bit more complicated, I bought a new computer during the upgrade so my files are all in different locations now.  As a result, I'm going to try to plow through posting my "Cooked to Post" recipes and not bother posting pictures along with the recipes for now, since those are all on the old laptop.  Once I finish, I'll be able to switch over to the new laptop to add pictures to the posts that need them.  

Prepare for recipe spam!  (No spam recipes, though.)

I like to keep track of things during the year and two of my major non-cooking hobbies are movies and books – both of which lend themselves to list making.  I keep lists of these things throughout the year so I can see what I’ve seen and read and I figured I’d share those lists here as a Fun Thing To Do at the end of the year.  I know it’s not quite the end of the year, and I might finish another book or two before the year is over, but I’ll just update the list when that happens.  If you’re curious about the books, click the link to read more!

I am leaving for Norway today and will be back in early June.  Regular posting will resume the week of June 7th.  Whatever regular is!

It has been 16 days since my last post.  I’m still alive, I promise!  I had back to back weekend events in Indianapolis and Nashville and I had intended to catch up on posts between the two events.  Sadly, our little villa in French Lick, Indiana didn’t have the wifi we were promised it would have, so I was unable to do any blog work. 

I have a large number of recipes to post, quite a few restaurant reviews to share, a few meal plans, and a monthly recipe roundup.  I should also post my tale of woe regarding my attempts at seed starting. 

But first, I’ve got to readjust to being home and get through my substantial non-blog to do list! 

Thank you all for your patience, I look forward to getting back into the swing of things over the next few days.  I also look forward to my lack of travel between now and May!

As an aside, if you like tea, this tea kettle thing is amazing.
