These last few weeks have seen me less in the kitchen and more at the computer, organizing sets of photos on flickr.com and then tying them in with recipes on this and on two other blogs. Last night and today I uploaded photographs of most kitchen activities since at least a week ago! All of that remains to be blogged.
After spending many hours building an amazon.com "a-store" in which you can see and read about some of the less usual food items and also some of the more-useful cooking tools we've talked about, I - we all - had the sudden news that amazon has shut down everyone who legally resides in Illinois. (It's a face-off over collecting sales taxes, and is likely to end up in the Supreme Court.) That's a frustration, but my good friend Alice has come to the rescue. She copied over my amazon items to her store "Shopper's Buzz" to which we can link... her web activities include some activist and information sites about "Colony Collapse Disorder" which is affecting honeybees worldwide. Her store includes all sorts of bee things, some of which look extremely delicious! You can click through to to the amazon store from here: The Shopper's Buzz. There's a large link under the bee picture. Our virtual corner in the bee store already includes "hard to find foods" and "kitchen collection" and will probably contain a few books, eventually. You can get to the main amazon.com page just by clicking on the amazon logo. Alice promises that if we actually send enough business to amazon to get a check from them, she'll be sure we have a big party! :-) That works for me.
