Off my fast

I fell off the Lenten fast when I went to Boston for a week. Really, I would've had to have been a saint to stay on it: My aunt put together a fabulous dinner reception for THS and me and invited all our aunts and uncles, second cousins, and others who couldn't fly out to our wedding. She even got a little wedding cake from a local baker. It was all so tasty. Then of course there was the famous Abe and Louie's steakhouse downtown. I mean, once you've started so thoroughly down the pike, why not just get into a Ferrari and speed yourself along? So now I'm not going to fast again until Holy Week, which is at the end of this month. Gah! Hey, at least I have something recent for confession. If I go. Getting back to Things Food-Related: I'm considering joining The Daring Bakers' Blogroll. The Daring Bakers are a bunch of cooks who all agree to bake a chosen recipe each month, and then blog about their experiences. The Blogroll just lists the blogs of all the bakers. I realize that joining the TDBB would be a be quite in keeping with the mission of this blog, which is to distract me from writing. And so what likely will happen is that I'll decommission the wedding blog (because hey, I'm married) and instead write a food blog. You wouldn't believe how many food blogs exist. Some of them are so graphic and sensual that they make Nigella Lawson look like nun. Anyway, that's the noodling I'm doing right now. I just got back from the gym and I'm completely worn out, which keeps me from dwelling on "hey, it's nearly been a year since my mom died"-type thoughts. Which is good, as I have writing to avoid. The writing I'm currently attempting to avoid is a story that's due to my writers' group on Tuesday. Hrmmm...
