I think the reason I am writing this is largely to say that I did. It is now among the list of things I can honestly say I have done, like make mayonnaise from scratch... I have now created a blog. Not that I expect people to read it, much less care about what I have to say here, I mean, I don't even have a theme or focus for my ramblings. I have a pretty stargazer lilly picture, and an obsession with cookbooks, particularly antiquarian Canadiana.
