A return to blogging

You may have noticed that there have been no posts on this blog for two years. There are a few reasons behind this, but the main one is that Capa and I stopped playing in the kitchen because she got really sick. Capa has Lyme disease and it makes life a struggle. There were 3 months where she couldn't even stand, her legs would just crumple. Nowadays she lays on the couch, uses a wheelchair out of the house when she can handle moving even that much, and goes to doctors.

On the other hand, these past two years I have become enamored with baking. This is hilarious, because I am at this point a pretty crummy baker. I always try to do things that are beyond me. I need to get really solid at small things, so that I have a good foundation to go from. A couple of weeks ago, I was hanging out in the library after classes and I decided I wanted to get some baking cookbooks. I ended up with a whole bunch of cookbooks for many different foods. I've been going through them with sticky flags to find recipes I want to try, and recently started using those recipes.

The other day, I was going to delete this blog because it has three posts and hasn't been used in two years, but in my search for a delete button, I ended up reading it. I like it! I think it's a fun way to write. My enjoyment of this blog, along with my new forays into the land of cooking have inspired me to write here again. Capa probably won't help me much, but she is always a good taster.

Also, I promise to be a much less snarky commentator. I have matured (some) in the past two years.
