my apologies for the absence

sorry about the severe lack of posting recently - i have been a little busy re-starting my job at oberlin, and while i've thought about a lot, and thought about blogging a lot, i haven't actually done any. i almost think it's that there's an overload of possible topics and i'm overwhelmed as to where to start.

i have made a few little changes, however, in that i've added a few labels off to the right -->
and, as of today, drumroll please... i've made the blog public again! since i don't have to worry about students finding it anymore, i figured i'd reopen it to the world of the internet.

tonight, since it's been my day off, i'm making braised shortribs for dinner. i've mostly followed the directions found here, and while i was busy cooking, rather than taking pictures, so far it does actually look the pictures mr.-amateur-gourmet-guy has on his page! and the whole house smells amazing. i can't wait for the next few hours to go by so that andrew will be here and i can see if it's is any good!
