300th Post and a Confession

A Louisiana Iris in Mississippi

Two-hundred and ninety-nine posts ago I started this blog on a whim. Today, it has come to be a valuable part of my life, and I just wanted to say a huge THANK YOU to all of you who, through your comments and emails, make blogging so much fun!

I’m sorry that new posts have been so scarce lately, but I’m hoping that that’s about to change. I’ve been busy cooking someone else’s food and taking photos for that writer’s next cookbook. I’m not a superstitious person, but I’m unwilling to risk jinxing what has been the best opportunity ever by giving you any more details. I’ll let you know more as soon as I’m comfortable. Meanwhile, if there are any vegan cookbook writers who need a photographer for their books, I’m available!

And I think it’s time I confessed to a hidden agenda. For months I’ve been planning on publishing my own cookbook, but something always manages to get in the way. So I’m hoping that putting it in writing here will make me buckle down and get to work. I’ve never written a book before and I have no idea of the time required to write it, design it, take the photos, and edit it, but I would like to have it printed and ready for purchase by Christmas. You can help me out by letting me know which of the recipes in the archives you think should be included and what kinds of recipes you’d like to see more of. I’ll keep adding new recipes to the blog, but every now and then expect a “teaser” photo of a dish from the book. (I promise not to do that too often, though!) Maybe with your help (i.e. pressure) I can get the book finished on time.

Coming in the 301^st post, this mystery dish:
