Now, where was I?

Long time, no post, but young'uns will do that to you. And this isn't a full-scale throwdown of a post, but still, it's something.

To catch you up on things, Jacob will be two months old this coming Monday. They grow up so fast. I've become acquainted with colic, and I've given countless prayers of thanks for Mr. Hoover or whoever invented the vacuum cleaner. (Why is my irritable son soothed by the roar of an upright vacuum cleaner? I don't know, and I don't really care. However, if he's into loud sounds, his old pa has a few CDs he's going to introduce him to that will really boost his spirits.) I've become a CrackBerry addict (Curve, for right now, but I'm seriously craving that new Bold, when it's released. iPhone, Smiphone, I say.)

I've also discovered a few sites I'll be adding to the blogroll shortly. (I'm always thinking of you, you big lugs. <chin chuck>). There's It's Lovely! I'll Take It, which posts wretched pictures from real estate listings, along with snarky commentary. And there's Totally Looks Like, which is just getting started, but has lots of promise. It's like those old "Separated at Birth?" things.

And here's the aforementioned blog post. Not much, but the flywheel of posting has a lot of inertia, and I'm still trying to get it up to fully operational speed. The selections are from the Better Homes & Gardens "Meals with a Foreign Flair" cookbook of 1963. Enjoy.
