It’s now been nearly two weeks since the website problems here were all resolved. The two subscribers still affected could tell when the glitches ceased, I’m sure! In uncovering my website’s problems, I actually helped the subscription software company solve a bunch of niggling problems that were affecting a lot of their clients. In fact they’ve released a new version of their software that includes all the changes they made to this site. As a result of not having to continually deal with problems, I’m now free to make improvements to the service and the site!
And my friend Heather [...]
Even though it’s been a week where many people are off work and most of us were celebrating one holiday or another, I’ve been working hard to try to resolve a series of odd errors. I’ve now got two of them fixed. Here’s the nutshell version of what happened:
For almost a year, a scant, everchanging random handful of people have experienced glitchiness, never more than one or possibly two people at once. This kind of thing is hard to track down, and if I could make it resolve for them, I did. Sometimes it wasn’t on my end at [...]
For a year now, I’ve been having various subscribers contact me off and on because they’re having problems when trying to access the menus. I’ve thought I had it fixed several times, but apparently not, as it keeps cropping up again. It’s always just one or two people, not everyone, which makes it very hard to troubleshoot. In fact, someone just emailed me, and the webhost email stripped out their email, so I don’t have a way of finding out who it is having problems right now. This is my third day straight of spending most of my time trying [...]
I ran across this post earlier this week, and thought I should share.
For me, the most crucial part of making my condiments is that the carb count has to be pretty much nonexistant, and there can’t be any artificial sweeteners. This is a function of my metabolism and my migraines. For some of you, it might be that they have to be gluten-free as well.
I do a lot of things the healthy, traditional way that has kept people healthy for thousands of years. People used to eat a lot of condiments that didn’t have vinegar as the base, [...]
Amy just told me she posted about the giveaway. Take a look around the site and feel free to ask questions!
Here, I’ve finally seen the last of the huge amounts of snow we’ve had this winter. I can’t wait to plant my garden! I already have some herbs greening up. It’s going to be around two months before I can even hope to plant a lot of things, but I may be able to put snow peas and lettuce in the ground soon. I am looking forward to having salads that were growing minutes before I eat them.
I’m [...]
What do you do when you can’t eat much of what’s typically served at holiday meals? The mashed potatoes, the stuffing, the desserts? Do you eat what you’re not supposed to have, but then feel sick for days afterwards, as I do if I go off-plan? Or worse?
This can be an object of great debate sometimes, but it doesn’t need to be.
This started because one Thanksgiving, I was asked to bring yam casserole. I went down the list of what others were bringing, and the only thing I was going to be able to eat was turkey. And [...]
Typical Summer Supper Side
These are the dog days of summer. I can tell, because it’s steamy-hot, and every time I walk past the grapevines cascading over my deck, I terrify the locusts that are chattering there. And they terrify me as they zoom away. They have an uncanny knack for flying straight into my forehead. Maybe they’re doing it on purpose. Brave little things; it would be like me flying my plane straight into Godzilla. Or maybe those over-sized eyes have too little brain tissue behind them.
That sound of the buzzing of locusts I can remember far [...]
Willow and Lark go for the berries
This past week, it was acting like August where I live. The tomatoes and peppers that I put in my garden blossomed overnight, and the seeds I planted sprouted within just a couple of days! I kid you not. Had I planted them a couple of weeks ago or longer when it was acting like March, they’d likely be to exactly the same point they’re at now. And we had pleasantly cool weather to boot. At one point, I commented to a friend “We’ve had heat indexes close to 100F, frost warnings, [...]
First Greens of Spring
We’re now in the identity crisis of spring, where the weather can’t decide if it’s spring, summer, or “tonight I’m putting on my winter frost face”, thanks very much. I’m still seeing some late daffodils and tulips and the lilacs are still out, but I’m starting to see irises and my roses are getting buds on them! Officially the last frost date in my area is May 10th, but I just had frost last night and more is predicted. Wild asparagus is at its prime, while garden asparagus is starting to come in season. Those [...]
Just Like Mom's
Slow cookers. Redolent of chili, barbecued Smoky links, macrame, mushroom decor, Avocado appliances, and a society-wide, decade long epidemic of bad hair. The ghost of a thousand church pitch-ins. One of the few gotta-have-it appliances from my childhood that’s still around (unlike the hot dog cooker that basically electrocuted hot dogs–I have one, if anyone doubts me).
For years, I associated slow cookers with that whole regrettable era of the 70′s; the years when “exotic food” meant “Chung King from two cans” (unless you were lucky enough to live in Manhattan or L.A.) and no one [...]
