The state of the kitchen

Several things have conspired to slow me down in the last couple weeks on this blog. First, I had a bad setback with my asthma a couple weeks ago, and that set necessaries before pleasures, so cooking became rudimentary and online writing went by the board. And then, our Gavin has gone off to the wars, so to speak, and is working far more than full time for Carry Oregon, the consolidated campaign for the democrats in Oregon. Joseph has started middle school. The idyll of the regular dinner table is in interruption.

I will try to post things here more regularly, whether or not we are cooking full meals, however, and I have notes from past days to transcribe over the next while.
