Look at me all starting to post again, fancy like. In part it’s just so much easier to cook when it’s cold out isn’t it? Also I think this blog parallels the times in my life where I have more of my stuff together. Either way I think it’s a positive trend in my life. I’ve been spending the better part of this year learning German and job searching so maybe I just hit the point where I can finally add in another thing back in my life.

It’s nothing special but I think I will be able to add a few recipes this and next month. I’ve still been cooking and baking new things but my camera no longer takes pictures so there’s a big disconnect between what I make and what I post.

The other day I saw someone pin one of my recipes of Pinterest which reminded me that if I had more time I’d probably make more off this thing and promote and be really cool. Instead I mostly just spend my time looking for new jobs and puttering about. At least life is delicious.
