The Hungry Cook

Hi internet friends! Umm, so yeah, I haven’t written a real post in so long that I actually forgot my website password. Whoops!!

I’ve been suffering under the illusion lately that I have nothing to say (not true, because I have so much to share!) and that I don’t have any time to write (this is true, and largely due to all the stuff I have to share!). And then my web hosting service was expiring and I was debating just stopping this here old blog thing, but then it automatically renewed even though it had an expired credit card attached to the account, so I have decided to take that as a sign from the universe that a) my bank is stupid and b) I should keep blogging. :)

So, how’re you liking getting inundated with my Instagram pictures, eh? I wish there was some sort of optional tag to post only some photos, like how you can do selective Tweets to Facebook. But, I don’t think that’s been developed yet (do you hear me, Internet overlords, get working on that!), so…umm, yeah you get to see all my pictures. Heh.

In other news… uhh… Chef BF asked me to marry him. Hehe, like how I just slipped that in there after three paragraphs of rambling? I, of course, said yes to him (and the kids – they helped him ask me), so now we’re officially engaged. As opposed to being unofficially engaged, as we have been pretty much since the day we met. Awww…

While I love weddings (friends! booze! dancing! cake!), I am not the kind of lady who’s been planning her wedding since she was 6. I’m still getting used to this wedding planning thing. My first instinct after doing some research was to ask if someone could just throw us a surprise wedding. Whatever we end up doing, though, we want it to be fun and personal. (See, this is what’s annoying about weddings…because we want “fun and personal” as if that’s something unique to us. No one ever wants “boring and impersonal”, do they? How does one have a truly special wedding when EVERYBODY else in the world is also going for the same thing. It’s like those goth punk kids in high school who think they’re being super alternative by all wearing nose rings and kilts and eye liner. If y’all are doing it, it’s no longer alternative. \End rant.) I definitely appreciate wedding planning tips, if you’ve got them.

So, that’s the big news. There’s lots of small news and funny tidbits and whatnot and ephemera and the like to share, as well. More to come!
