I Didn’t Sign up for This

Really sorry about the lame blogging lately. I’ll tell you some sad facts about being a writer. You have endless leisure, and you can do what you want with your time. Until you publish something people actually might want to read. Then it’s almost like having a real job.

The book is going into a second printing, and retailers are placing more orders, so I have stuff to do. I can’t lie here on my fat rear end and blog all day. Instead I lie here on my fat rear end doing other things. I might be able to turn this book into a success. I keep thinking it would be great to have a cooking show for men.

I have not abandoned you. I shall return.

Here’s one thing I’ve done. I reworked the Manly Grub forum. I didn’t understand how the software worked the first time around. Now I’m starting to get a clue. I’ve broken things up into three general areas. General, Food, and “Beer, Wine, and Booze in General.” Hmm…two “generals.” I better fix that. The food category is broken down into a bunch of boards, like Steak and Miscellaneous Meat and Breakfast. The booze board is broken down into various types of liquor and beer and so on. Makes a little more sense now.

More photos are going up, and people are posting recipes.

The other day I threatened to come up with a recipe for blueberry cornbread, but I haven’t made good on it yet. Blueberries are really getting nice now. They’re fatter than they were in June, and they’re two bucks a pint. Probably cheaper at Costco.

Be back when I have more time.
