Oh food blog..it's been awhile. I hope that you didn't miss me too much. Truth is, the husband is back in school working on his degree and has been a complete computer hog with his online classes. I would occasionally snag the laptop to check out my favorite blogs or find some recipes but in general I wasn't spending much time on the computer. And then the stars aligned and I finally embraced technology. It started with the iphone. Long story short, my old phone took a water bath and stopped working and after much resistance on my part, I finally followed all the cool kids and got an iphone. I wanted to hate it, I really did, but the truth is that it's really amazing. I don't have to write down recipes anymore, I can just pull up the website on my phone! If we're out running errands and aren't sure if a store is open, we can check before we drive over and waste time. And the camera. My husband is in IT which means that he stores everything in a million folders on the computer so it's impossible to find what I'm looking for. And to be honest, he's made it so complicated that I don't know how to get the photos off our digital camera so I've been relying solely on my iphone for photos and it's been magical!
And then the second wave of embracing technology; I finally accepted the fact that we need a second computer. The husband had been pushing for an ipad but I need a keyboard, dangit! He found an apple refurbished macbook air for a steal and it was a perfect compromise. It's still incredible small and portable like an ipad (we got the 11 inch) but has the keyboard and was only a couple hundred more than the ipad so everyone wins. I think there was also an alternative motive because we've been acquiring A LOT of furniture that we plan to sell and it was suggested that we start a blog to help sell things but my perfect excuse was that I never had access to the computer to start and maintain yet another blog. I guess that my bluff has been called.
So I'm back! I've been baking like crazy and have been stock piling pictures. Now I just need to post it all. Thanks for hanging in there food blog. I'll try harder to treat you better.
