I’ve been under the radar lately… as far as blogging is concerned. Between the writing, editing, plotting, and let’s not forget the teaching (which has its own universe of writing, editing, plotting, etc.), I’ve been a tad busy. On top of that, I’m considering how I want to revamp this blog, revamp it with a focus (or dare I say, platform) where what I have to say isn’t just an echo of what a gazillion other bloggers have to say.
More on that later.
In the meantime, Thanksgiving is only a day a way and here’s what’s cooking in my kitchen.
Prosciutto with Persimmons
Johnnycakes with Peekytoe Crab

Yes, I’m a glutton when it comes to cooking.
Actually, I guess I’m a glutton when it comes to pretty much everything. Life’s Too Short to do otherwise.
Happy Holiday!
