“When things are gray —as they are often for me—putting them into black and white can be a great kind of therapy.”

I completely relate to that, Shannalee, and you said it so well!

For me the most embarrassing part about blogging is that it’s sort of part of my job… so potentially all of my coworkers read it.

Your responses, here and at the survey, were so much fun to read. Thanks for participating and letting me get to know you!

Su-Lin – I have never made a Canadian butter tart, so I’m not sure. Also, my version of this brown butter tart wasn’t exactly, well, right… so I’m not sure about that either!

Pete – Oh, we ate well. Very well. I am jealous of you and your D.C. location.

Glad to know it isn’t just me who suffers from blog embarassment. My family only know about it because I accidentally sent my sister a link. My boyfriend makes up for it by telling all his friends but I haven’t told anyone I work with – quite strange really. Anyway life has gotten in the way on blog writing and reading recently (sorry) but going to post properly this evening.

Raych- Duly noted. Guess I should have blogged the one where I burned the crap out of some turkey hash b/c I thought it’d be clever to add a bit of water to help “steam” the potatoes (to make them cook faster) and ended up pulling out a lot of starch, which proceeded to turn to solid carbon on the bottom of my dutch oven. Had to use 3 DIFFERENT pots that night b/c I burned it multiple times! How embarrassing.

Hey! I came across your blog because I’ve only just recently discovered food blogs. I love baking, but I don’t do it consistently enough to start my own. Besides, I have a book review blog (which is how I got into the idea of blogging communities in the first place) at booksidoneread.blogspot.com AND a personal blog, which really just serves to let my mom know that I’m still not dead, and that’s enough bloggering for me.

A quick response to Dr Domestic: TOTALLY blog your failures. It lets the rest of us know that you’re human, and also that corn oil does not equal corn syrup and will result in burnt and granully caramel corn.
