I am thankful to all of you who take the time to share what you are creating or thinking or feeling. I find a comforting music within the mundane. An appreciation for the simple rituals of daily life. I see this reflected here and it is heartening. Gives me hope.
I am discovering so much well-styled and attractive food photography here on WordPress this time around. I am impressed and well, just a little bit wistful. I miss that form of engagement so much now I am working in a job that is so rigid and anything but creative.

Since 2012, when I started this blog –and in the between times when I wasn’t writing or cooking or sharing–I would always come here, just to read. To be inspired, educated, entertained.
Things were kind of dwindling when I fell away hard from this site, probably in late 2019. There seemed to be at that time this mass exodus to other platforms like YouTube and Instagram. I started to get the feeling that blogging was ‘over’.
I dabbled in making my own cooking videos a few years ago and creating daily Instagram posts, but I just couldn’t keep it up. Too much work!

Maybe, just maybe at some point I will return to creating and styling my own food images again. For now, it is enough to be here–entertained and inspired by all of you.
Keep on blogging!
There is indeed a lot of fast-paced social media out there. While I occasionally post on Instagram, I think of that medium as fast food, and I prefer slow food!
Agreed 🙂
