Awww - nooo, don't go! We loooove you! But seriously, if you feel the need for a new direction or home, I'd say go for it. I have to say, moving data from Typepad to, erm, anything is a bitch... Typepad tries to hold onto your images and breaks all your image links. But I managed it with 8 years of content. I have a genius IT friend who did it for me without breaking the image links, so please drop me a line if considering this and I'll put you in touch. He's not that pricey either.

In any event, I am a bit of a smoked salt addict and I have a sous vide machine... but it does get taken out of the cupboard on a reasonably regular basis ;o)
50 Shades of Salt
Let me see a show of hands. Are you a sweet or a salty person? Potato chips or gelato? And for the smug amongst us who are voting for umami..sit down. That’s a story for another day. I’m salty. I’ll take a good pickle over a pastry anytime. Which is a good thing because living in Umbria, you...
Oh Judith, I want your life! :o) Wonderful post about two cities I love - the tortellini in Bologna are life-changing, aren't they?? And I giggled at "artsy meets fartsy stainless steel palace" ;)
Food Meets Art in Venezia & Bologna
A weekend adventure that transports and recharges. Bright cones of ground spices seduce with their colors and their aroma. A mosaic pattern on the floor is actually an intricate arrangement of rice, beans and peas. A bowl of black seppia ink pasta coats our lips and teeth, turning us into da...
