I’m back!!!!!

by Gillian Polack

Sorry about the lack of food history recently. We had server problems.

I’ve been blogging madly in the downtime, largely because I had books I wanted to blog so that I could put them away (the usual story, except that this time the books are queued and queued and queued and I really needed to find my desk underneath) so you’ll end up with not quite as many missed posts as there might have been, with the backlog appearing throughout the next few days. If I were more intelligent, I would post them just one a day and make my life lazier, but alas, I’m not the brightest spark in a box of matches right now. It’s not a good time of the month, and so I do everything on automatic, including blog. I hope for your sake that my automatic includes a modicum of wit.

The three posts I’m working on right now are all cookbook posts, but they’re quite different cookbook posts. None are about community cookbooks, for a change. I feel as if I’m being very restrained in only giving you three cookbook posts right now when I have a half dozen more books that need putting away. You’ll meet the others over the next two weeks or so. You’ll also start seeing the topics you asked about when I asked everyone what they wanted to see in the blog. I’m hoping to blog about champagne cocktail testing and that last country christening episode, but these things depend on other peoples’ lives not being entirely impossible and rather chaotic, and I have no control.

So now you know where I’ve been, where we’re going, and that life really doesn’t change much, day to day, even if the server goes down.
