Saturday Laugh
My friend Jodi sent me this gem of a video, spoofing Cook's Illustrated Magazine. I've only ever read one issue of it, and it was OK but kind of didactic. This is a pretty funny video - enjoy!

Sorry for the long absence...Life got extremely busy in July with my brother's wedding and the ton of company & hectic social schedule that involved, plus I took on some extra work and am now also doing a regular reporting gig for the local online paper, The Rossland Telegraph. Foodblogging has definitely sunk down several notches on my list of priorities.
Anyway, there are posts coming up because the food over the wedding events was beyond ridiculous and beyond amazing, so I'll be filling you in on that. I will say that I am now planning on going on a watermelon diet because I have eaten so much in the last 2 weeks I'm pretty sure all the weight I lost since January is back. Sigh...
So, for now, here are some things for you to giggle at until I get my act together.
But before we get to the giggles, I just want to give a brief shout out to Mary-Lou & Rod, who are my most excellent friend, S's, parents in law, and when S and her husband M came to visit me this week (which was awesome as I don't get to see them very much!), they were telling me what huge fans of ReTorte Mary-Lou and Rod are, and that Mary-Lou very faithfully makes a lot of the recipes I post here. So, THANK YOU Mary-Lou and Rod! Hearing that feedback made me so happy! I'm glad you are enjoying the site so much, and hopefully this will motivate me to post more frequently.
Also, when my mom was visiting this last week, she was telling me how much my aunt Lyn loves the site and uses the recipes, especially the cookie recipes, and so I want to thank Lyn for her support and her frequent visits! Again, hearing this made me very happy, and again, now that I have heard this feedback, hopefully it will spur me on to more frequent posting! Thank you, Aunt Lyn!

Laughs & Stuff...
Still on hiatus. I'm not sure how long this is going to go on...I'm having some issues with food blogging right now. Perhaps I need to write a post to get it all out there, but perhaps not.
My first day on the job was stressful and overwhelming, but the second day went better. I cannot cook with salt there; these are seniors and salt is a no-no. So, the food is bland. No salt = no flavour! I go back for 2 more training shifts next week and start to fly solo the week after. The paycheque is going to be sweet!
Anyway, here are some LOLs for you. Enjoy!
