Blog-keeping Note

I've been flitting about the internet, reading other food blogs. It is typical of me to jump into doing something before actually doing the research into the thing first. I have a talent for getting myself in over my head. So I've made some decisions regarding this blog:

1. I need to start taking photos as I cook. This means I need to get batteries for my digital camera.

2. I will continue to ramble on in the process of sharing recipes, and will actually try to censor those ramblings less. I've been thinking about the things that had early influence on my love of food, and the thing is, my love of food and my love of stories are intertwined. There are recipes that can only be shared with the story that goes with them. And there are stories that require food. And blogs that don't do both wind up boring me. So I'm not your food-porn site. Suck it. Do not get off on my descriptions. Make the food, eat it, and feel peace with the world.

3. At some point I need to talk about the preponderance of female food-bloggers and how they go about claiming, adapting, or refuting the domesticity assumed in preparing food. In fact, that may become a running theme here.

4. I need to actually post. At least once a week.

Considering it's February, I'm a solid month behind on making these resolutions. Forget Douglas Adams and the whooshing sound deadlines make as they go flying by, I'm not even on schedule when it comes to creating the job.
