It’s been a long time since I felt like I got ahead during my weekend. I feel like I’ve only managed to keep from falling further behind for most of the past year. The lack of blog posts for the better part of 2009 are further proof.

Last night Kevin Condron came over for dinner and then we went to see Where The Wild Things Are and later stopped by to check out another find FoPo drinking establishment, O’Malley’s? At some point Kevin asked me about the blog. Noting that it looked hacked. And it did. I moved the blog to a new server, then just left it with the “Hello World” message and broken image links for months.

This morning, despite having a rather lengthy to do list I sat down to try and get the blog at least closer to the state it was before the server move. Then I finally committed to change to The Unstandard theme. I’ve had this theme bookmarked for a long time. What both attracted me to it, and scared me from committing is that it uses images rather than words as the teasers. I know it is going to require me to think about posting in a different way. I’m excited to see where it takes me.

Aside from adjusting the old posts to accommodate a new theme, I also made a delicious vegan creamy chunky cauliflower soup. I had seen a link to the recipe in the comments from a bitten post, and bookmarked the page. A week or so later I saw through a Facebook status update that Vicki had made it and loved it. And so yesterday I thought I bought all the ingredients I needed. I should have read the recipe first, in which case I really would have bought all the ingredients I needed. Today I got the rest, made the soup tonight, and it was phenomenal.

I need a diet with more cruciferous vegetables and less dairy. Its nice to add a good go-to cool weather recipe to my arsenal.
