Re-Launch
Well, not really a re-launch...more of a revival. After a few years of living out my exhibitionist side on social networking sites, I've returned to blogging. Facebook is fun enough, but somehow I miss my monologues about all things edible. So I'm back.Initially I was going to come back with a bang - a complete redesign of this blog. Ditch the doily and bring in something fresh and exciting. But then I read a very interesting article about immobility as counter movement to the ever increasing speed of change, which made me change my mind. Don't get me wrong, I'm by no means a backward-looking reactionary. I love change. Nor do I fear speed. But the two need to be in sync with the rest of life. They are not values in itself. They do not need to be forced; they should just happen. And at the moment, the doily is not quite yesterday's news yet.
In fact, when it comes to food, the old, traditional, granny style has been the new, the hip, the done thing for a while now. This return to the past may soon be the past again - especially when we emerge from this credit-crunch (is it just me or does this sound like a candy bar???) induced recession and start to move headlong into the next adventure to forget the past/present. But while I'm frequently serving up bangers and mash, sticky toffee pudding and old fashioned meat and 2 veg (OK, maybe new-fashioned wannabe oldy), I'll stick to loving lace.
