What’s new around here?

Monday, May 11th, 2009

You may have noticed a few changes around the site, but in case you didn’t, I thought I’d point them out.  I finally joined the Flickr bandwagon.  So, now all my photos have a link to that photo uploaded in Flickr (at least the new ones do; I’m probably not going to go back and add all the photos from the archives).  In some cases, the Flickr picture may be bigger, if I cropped it down to use on the site, so you may see a little something extra. Also, sometimes I want to add more pictures than I have room for, so you may see a few more pictures of the dish if you click through to its set on Flickr.

I’ve also added an animated link to my photostream over —-> on the right sidebar.  There, you might get a sneak peek of what’s coming up before it’s posted here, or you might catch a picture of us doing something other than eating or going somewhere other than the kitchen. (more…)

And they’re off….

I know, I know, we’ve been a little flaky lately.  It’s not for lack of trying, but things have been pretty busy, with work and finals and planning for RAAM.  And now it’s about to get worse … we are leaving for this cross-country adventure that is crewing for Race Across America tomorrow night!  And we probably won’t do much (read: any) cooking while we’re gone, but I’m sure we’ll have plenty of stories to share when we get back.

In the meantime, there’s several ways to keep track of us:

  •  GPS tracking device (Most of the team is already down in Oceanside now, so you can watch them as they run around doing last minute errands until the race starts on Wednesday.)
  • The RAAM website will have stats on the progress of all entrants including Team H4, as well as live blog coverage
  • Team H4 blog will hopefully be updated
  • We’re going to try to get a couple posts to go up while we’re gone, and if we get internet access we may try to fill you in on what’s going on.  And if you’re really lucky, Mary’s Mom (and cooking inspiration) will share some of her secrets as a guest author sometime before we get back.

There’s also still time to donate to support Peninsula Habitat for Humanity!

And if you’re new here and saying, “Huh?  Bicycles?  Racing across the country? No cooking?!?  I thought this was a food blog?!?!?!” read this or click on that ad in the sidebar to get filled in.

See you in a couple weeks!
