Will Write for Food!

I've been meaning to get back to this blog for a long time, but I was frustrated with issues related to uploading images. Two things have happened to encourage me to work through my frustration:

1. I spent the weekend with my good friend Natalie in Portland. I got to spend a couple of hours at Powells, where one of my proud purchases was a book called Will Write For Food! I'm hoping that as I read it, I can get better and better at the actual writing here on my blog.

2. My friend Julie - who is one of my heroes - has an amazing blog and advised me today that she overcame all of her image issues by publishing using Firefox. Here I am on my first try, and I'm delighted with the results. (Finally got that d--- picture of the peanut butter bars to post from last October!)

One of my other proud purchases in Portland was a book on chocolate: Chocolate Obsession. Look for future updates as I experiment with its recipes.

Finally, one of the highlights of the trip was a trip to Moonstruck Chocolate. They had some of the finest truffles I have ever eaten.At any rate, I hope to be back more often. In the meantime, may the Great Cooking Spirit be with you....
