Heather, I have come to realize (accept?)...
...that I absolutely SUCK as a cook (in spite of the fact that I bake damn good cookies, thank you) and I no longer have the time or energy to actually devote to my earnest but ill-fated efforts at cooking. At least not right now. I'll never be anything more than a wannabe foodie. However, I have a fervent belief in foodieism, and I absolutely love you guys, and I'm really proud of what we've built here. This is the best and closest online community I've ever seen. It will always be my baby, and I hope it's still here when I decide to swallow my pride and come to you all for advice because I have issues boiling water properly. ;o)
