Where Did I Go?

I suppose all of my faithful readers (I think I have three or four by now) have noticed that I haven't been posting lately. What started as an it's-way-too-hot-to-cook-right-now-there's-way-too-much-going-on-in-my-life-
so-I'm-taking-August-off vacation turned into a two-plus month hiatus that has been hard to breach. But the weather has cooled off and I'm cooking again, and things have slowed down so I can maybe start writing again.

You did notice that I said "maybe" up there at the end of that paragraph, didn't you?

The worst of it is that I had finally caught up on all my cooking magazines and now they've piled up again.

Let's see . . . what else? Oh yeah, I have been reading quite a bit lately. And in one of those odd serendipitious moments that life often throws our way, I had two friends (Yam in Hong Kong and Genie here in Chicago) send me invitations to sign up at Goodreads. How could I refuse? Even if it's one more big chunk of time consumption, it's kind of fun to make lists of books I've read, want to read, and am reading. And it's a great way to see what your friends are reading.

You can see what I'm currently reading in the sidebar.

So that's it for now. We'll see what happens.
