Parenthetical

I seem to have taken an accidental hiatus from blogging. Review every book I read? Post about all the interesting things I’m cooking? FAIL. The end of the school year plus a few months of poor health wiped me out, man. But after a good month and a half of summer, I think I’m ready to get back on the blogging train! (Two weeks before school starts again.)

I’m still committed to reviewing everything I’ve read, for myself as much as anything — it’s helpful to use my blog as a recommendation engine. To dig myself back out I’ll blow through some speed-reviews over the next week. They won’t be brilliant, but at least I’ll remember what I thought about each book.

As for food, I added that to my blogging rounds because people kept asking me what I was cooking and preserving and how I was using my preserved food and whatnot. I don’t have time to blog everything I cook or preserve, and you’d be bored. So what food stuff do you want to read about (if anything)? Recipes? Preservation? Improvisational meals? Gluten-free baking? Locovoration in a New England winter? The Local Produce Only Project in general? “Shut up and get back to the books” or “Just shut up” are also acceptable answers.

I hope you’ve all been enjoying your summers!
