Believe it or not, I've been doing stuff when whilst neglecting my favorite blog. The truth is, I've discovered a hatred for uploading picture. I cant keep them organized. Its a terrible hassle to resize them (because I take them COLOSSAL!). Its a pain to keep edited ones and originals separate and safe. An increasing worry over digital storage, and a lack of editing software. And there's an inescapable fact, food blogs, like cook books SURVIVE ON PICTURES.
Very few people want to read a blog about food with no pictures. And heck, even if you DO post pictures regularly, without the amazing skill of the great food photog-blogs out there, you twont get linked. Its very distressing.
So while I could tell you about my cheesey rolled rustic bread, and my still singing a chorus of crackles fresh from the smoking hot oven blue cheese walnut sour dough... I wont without pictures. Nor will the Girl Scout style Samoas get posted. And those all HAVE pictures taken. Crappy, thoughtless and easy pictures... but at least some sort of photographic evidence of their conception. The angel food cake I baked (that fell because apparently letting it cool UPSIDE DOWN is really really crucial to structural integrity), and the egg nog that resulted to clean up those egg yolks. The carmels I made. The biscottie I whipped together, or the Dorrie's disagreeable cookie recipe I tried(think chocolate chip cookies, shaped like paper disks)
None of it. And if I did, I probably wouldn't give you recipes. Cuz I'm lazy like that. Word.

I'm ok with not seeing the pictures of your food if I don't get to eat it afterward.
If I get to eat it, post away.
Haha! So true - it's funny what pictures say. I don't usually have to resize my picts to post as long as they are jpegs. I want to see cheesy bread and egg nog - I've never made egg nog (needless to say we don't really get egg nog in Australia for xmas - crazy hot over there at that time) but I've grown to love egg nog. When I first had it I was baffled by the fact that it really did have egg in it - who do you think invented egg nog? Bizarre....
