Dear Readers... In the immortal words of America in their 1975 hit song Sister Golden Hair:
I've been one poor correspondent
And I've been too, too hard to find
But it doesn't mean you ain't been on my mind
I know I've been inexcusably terrible about keeping up to date with this blog. But let me try to excuse myself anyway...
In the time since my last blog update I've broken my arm, had surgery on said arm, recovered from surgery, packed up all the things, moved to another city, and unpacked most of the things (still working on that one)... all the while continuing to write my regular food column for Persephone Magazine (shameless plug!) and attempting to have some semblance of a social life.
Anyway, I'm sorry. I'll endeavour to be a more faithful blogging-person, or whatever.
Oh, and yesterday was exactly one year since I posted my first recipe! My Blog-iversary! Huzzah!
So, to recap:
- So sorry.
- Been busy.
- Will re-post my Persephone content more regularly.
- Plus bonus content.
Is it a deal? Do you love me again/still?
You Guys!
I've been a total slacker and I'm really, really, really sorry! I've got (seriously!) 3 recipe posts lined up in my drafts folder that I just haven't been motivated to get my ass in gear and finish. I never wanted to be one of those bloggers that only posts to say how horrible they feel for not posting more often, but... yeah.
I'm a bit of a chronic procrastinator with a strong perfectionist streak. I'll have a great idea, and I'll start something, but then I'll think, "Hmmm... this is good, but I could make it BETTER!" But then I'll be a little bit unsure of how to actually make it better, and I'll delay my editing/ improvements, hoping for inspiration. And the longer I drag it out, the better I feel the end product needs to be in order to justify the delay, and the draft folder ends up making me feel anxious and guilty every time I see it, like a wilting and neglected houseplant.
Anyhow, I've done all my Christmas shopping, work is lighter this week, and I'm all out of excuses. I want to try to post all three of my recipes at some point this week. And then next week, hopefully, I will be an Actual Blogging Dynamo and post a few humorous pictures from my Collection O' Cookbooks. That's the plan.
For those of you that have been patient enough to keep checking in, in spite of my various neuroses, thank you. I'm trying to improve.
PS- The very observant among you may notice I've been tinkering with some of the fonts and layouts. (You know, instead of actually completing a post.) What do you think?
