I’ve been absent because I’ve been keeping too busy and too tired to use my brain to write. I’ve started a new job and am now coming back up for air. In light of this I’ve decided to redesign the blog to be a little more flexible — specifically, to accommodate posts both of the long-form I normally have been writing, and a “short-form” (formerly known as “Moments”). Long posts will be in the featured slider, and short takes in the section just underneath on the hope page. I’m hoping this new approach will help me feel free post even when I have very little time. So here goes. Stay tuned.

Goals for the year:

• Blog regularly — and connect with others who love food
• Learn to bake — and give lots of the goodies away to others
• Cook at home more — and have people over to share in the dinner party love
• Indulging in reading about and watching TV shows and movies about food
• I mean really, it's all about food.

Having spent some time reflecting – I've realized that my life pretty much revolves around two things: food, and the Internet. Well, that and work, but the idea is to spend more time doing the things I enjoy. I'm not a great cook, and I'm not a great writer, but practice makes perfect.
