Forgive me, Food Friends, for taking such a long sabbatical from the blogging world. I got caught up in the day to day drama that makes the world go 'round and me tired at the end of the day. Yes, I was working 8 to 5 and was tired of looking at a computer screen by the end of the day, much less spend more time at a keyboard. I no longer had the luxury to sit around in the afternoon thinking of smart, witty and clever things to blog about. It was time to get up and hit the bricks and help put some real food on the table. Earn my worth, so to speak. I prefer blogging, but the pay is lousy!
'Nuff said! Tho, I am still on the clock from 8 to five, Monday thru Friday, I am back for a bit altho it may be inconsistent and not quite as witty. I want to spend some time sharing some food and family stories over this holiday season. I love this time of year when a turkey gets star billing and a side dish completes the story. A food lover's favorite time of the year....along with Easter ham, Memorial Day picnics, summer barbecues, hot dogs / burgers on the 4th of July and the big labor Day finale of any and all things grillable. Food is never out of season, I just think it really gets the most attention when the leaves begin to turn and families gather inside around tables loaded with family favorites, old and new, Grandma's favorite pumpkin pie recipe, some smarty pants trying a new stuffing, and those delicious Christmas cookies that deserve their own cookbooks.
While I begin to think of something inspirational and thoughtful to blog about, I hope you will take the time to go back into the Ole Comfortcook archives and brush up on some seasonal recipes and stories. I'll be back with you soon. I've missed our time together and I'm looking forward to "seeing" you again soon!
