My new years resolution this year was to start a blog.
I had been reading a ton of vegetarian cooking and restaurant blogs and felt inspired to share my own culinary creations and love for food preservation. I had even come up with the clever title "Can-able cuisine". Get it - cause I was going to do a a lot of canning and tell everyone how awesome it is. Well, I set up the blog (you can find it sad and lonely somewhere on blogger), and I even had Matt take some pictures of a soup I made, and a lovely array of appetizers I had prepared for a dinner party, but by January 5th the dream had died. I was just too busy (lazy). It was the blog that never was.
So - when the decision was made just a few short weeks ago that Matt and I were going to shake things up a bit and go to Sierra Leone, I figured this would help me kill two guilt-birds with one stone. I could finally fulfill my new years resolution (and destiny) AND I could keep family, friends, loved ones (and maybe the occasional stranger) apprised of our first impressions, joys, challenges and overall experience of Sierra Leone living.
Take that New Years resolution - I just completed my first post - see you next time for a chat on pre-departure jitters and how to avoid reality by tearing out the carpet.

I really like the name Can-able cuisine, very punny. But I do think reading about Sierra Leone will be more interesting then reading about canning! Excited to hear more about your trip.
ReplyDeleteMy first comment! So exciting!
ReplyDeleteCool fact. Did u know Sierra leone is the 182nd top internet user in the world. They have a total of only 13k users
ReplyDeleteDo I get this blog the way you told me last week or do I go to the yahoo site and put the web site you sent today.
ReplyDeletei think you tried a little harder with your last title, which i really would have appreciated reading btw since i'm thinking of making some jam over the next few weeks... BUT i guess it'll be cool to read about africa too.
