I apologize for the lack of posts.  I have been both busy and under the weather.  I hope that posting will resume by the end of the week.  I have been cooking and taking pictures, but haven't had the time or energy to write. 

I haven’t made a news post in a while but I’m happy to announce a few bits of information!


Welcome to readers from the Waldorf Farmer’s Market!  All of the wonderful produce shown on my blog and used in the market season recipes come from the wonderful farmers who take the time every week to participate in the Waldorf Farmer’s Market.  I’m thrilled to have my blog included in the newsletter for the market and I’m pleased to welcome new readers looking for ideas.  I look forward to seeing all of you every Saturday morning and Wednesday afternoon at the Festival Shopping Center. 


I also have the pleasure of announcing that my blog has been accepted to Urbanspoon.  What does this mean?  When you look at a restaurant I’ve reviewed, my blog post will be linked on the restaurant’s page.  I’m a huge Urbanspoon fan, so it’s pretty exciting to be included on a great site. 


Food Blog Search is another great resource that I’m happy to be a part of!  At the three month mark of blogging I was eligible to submit my blog to this great search engine and it was accepted.  I recommend the site when you’re interested in searching the wide world of food blogs. 


And last but not least, I’ve reached the three month mark of blogging with just over 150 recipes! :D  This blog has certainly helped me put my cooking into perspective and it’s been such a fantastic project so far.  I look forward to seeing what the next three months will bring. 

What’s New
The search feature is still being finicky.  It seems like it works from the main page with no problems at all, but it doesn’t want to work from any other page.  We’re working with the developers to figure this problem out.  It is, however, quite nice from the main page so I recommend using it to search on ingredients or anything else you want to search for.  Just remember to click on the site name in the top left corner before performing subsequent searches. 

I’ve upgraded both my camera and my lighting setup for pictures.  I’ve now got an EZcube light tent and proper lamps as well as a Canon Powershot SX10 IS.  You’ll be able to see a difference in picture quality due to the light tent, but most of the improvements due to the camera are all behind the scenes.  That said, it is a very sweet camera.  

In the Works
I’ve got some photos picked out for the banner, I just haven’t gotten the chance to do anything with them yet!  And the FAQ is still bouncing around in my head.  Thanks for your question suggestions.  

Since things are fairly under control, my next news update will probably wait until the search feature is working perfectly.  Thanks again for your support, it’s great to hear that people are trying these recipes and enjoying them at home!

What’s New
The search feature is much more robust now and has an advanced search option beneath that will give you even more flexibility while searching.  Edit: The new search feature still seems to have some issues, but I have it enabled so that the developer can help us figure out what's wrong.  I apologize for any problems you might encounter while searching. 

In the information section, you will now find an Archives option.  If you click on it you’ll be able to see all the posts in a month, or a year, or a category.  In theory these two features (search and archive) should make it significantly easier to find anything that you’re looking for!  

In the Works
I’m still trying to figure out what to do for the banner, but I haven’t figured that one out yet.  Maybe with my lightbox I’ll take some pretty pictures of tomatoes this week and turn those into a banner!

I’m also going to start compiling questions, and answers, for an FAQ.  If you have any questions you’d like to see addressed, please email them to me at: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
