sincerest apologies.

last night, my boyfriend, in his casual, loving way, gently inquired, "isn't your blog due for an update?"

i paused, and had to stop and think a moment. blog? what's a blog? do i even have one of those?

and then i remembered, why, YES, i've had one for a year now, and YES, it is painfully overdue for an update. think of all the wonderful meals i've eaten, cooked, and shared over the past two months that have not been photographed, documented and acclaimed on my humble little share of the internet real estate.

i am sorry.

now i have a zillion excuses, all of which are valid, and all of which lead me into a new direction with my vision for this blog. i like cooking, i like writing, and i like lots of other things, too. rather than starting a whole entirely different blog (which would make me feel bad about updating one and not the other; i was the kid who slept with 76 different stuffed animals in the bed because i couldn't pick just one without thinking that the others would get their "feelings hurt"), why can't i just write about ALL the things i like...recipes, traveling, theater, music, clothes, diy projects, jewelry, yoga, everything?

and blogging about everything means more blogging in general. i say, that's a brilliant idea if i ever heard one.
