Hi folks. Happy New Year. How’s it going?

I guess I should have called this “This Month’s News Roundup” or maybe “The Last Two Months’ News Roundup.” It’s been a while, yep. But I’m back and I’m on it like Blue Bonnet. I didn’t intend to become incommunicado. Life just kind of got in the way. Fridays got really busy and although I had the best of intentions of writing these posts on Thursdays…

(Say, does that Blue Bonnet saying refer to that substitute butter crapola? Uggggh. Everything is NOT better with Blue Bonnet on it, by the way. So forget my reference. Do I use butter? Hell yes.)

Anyway. On with the good food word…
