Argh — I feel like the Bad Blogger. I’ve been so consumed by the Tsunami, by the subzero weather, by a rousing game of UpWords with Maryanne last night, and by getting my New Year’s resolutions organized ( a:sitting again in the mornings, b: writing writing writing the second and third sections of the memoir and c: reading Virginia Woolf’s novels in order [as opposed to the letters and diaries which I love]), that I haven’t gotten around to blogging.

As for cooking — I made a bomber bolognese sauce with hot italian sausage and ground antelope the other day using Marcella Hazan’s recipe, then made a lasagna which I cut and wrapped in the freezer for a frigid January’s worth of dinners.

But Bad Blogger that I am, none of it has seemed particularly interesting. Especially not in light of what’s happening in South East Asia.
