It's been forever, huh.
I have to admit that I was testing my reaction to not blogging for a while. After losing the camera of course my zest/zingawow kinda faded, one can only do so much with a webcam when every casserole looks about the same as your sock pile. And you do never know how much you love something until you lose it, right? So I intentionally lost it (the blog), or intentionally got lost. Whichever way... but it's not right, something's been missing and I miss all of you. Where else can I get so irretrievably excited over how a zucchini curl twists like it's come from a painting, and where else can I gnash and skip over what everyone's been deep frying or dipping in chocolate or turning from trash to ten-star cuisine?
I've even been questioning my muffin skills. For shame. They're as fabulous as ever, and a number of cakes have gone by, like a towering raspberry maple ice sculpture and a straight up "vanilla with gobs of chocolate frosting and sprinkles" that made me sooooo happy to floof together I can't even tell you. I even put a cookzine together last week (in the space of a week), for a zine fair last weekend, and it's got most of my best recipes in there. A lot of mostly cute things, but also the rosewater cheesecake and my sister's opium test-failing Quinoa Poppyseed Salad of unexpected addictiveness. As soon as I get a camera I'll have it on my Etsy...
Which brings me to the camera issue, and the reason for a hiatus and not an immediate return. It's pretty simple, it's been officially deemed life-affirming enough for me to drop 150$ on a new one, but I'll have to wait til I go home for christmas to use some fortunately stashed gift certificates to a mall in Ottawa. So until then, I miss you, I miss this, I'm glad I got to at least go crazy for the Veganmofo, I'm SO disappointed that I won't be able to take a picture of my next cake which is a carrot cake actually shaped like the birthday boy with a little 3d head poking out, hahaha.
So I leave you with this video, which is amusing anyway for having plenty of Data in it, but also 2:27 seconds in you'll see the kinda cake I'll be going for. Yes it's creepy! But that's why it's worth doing. ^_^b
