With a general shift of online interaction to social media, group chats, and forums (reddit, etc), and the death of Google Reader (R.I.P.), I and many folks I know drifted away from personal blogs or websites over the past decade.
Yet– of all the little web/blog hobby projects I’ve had over the years, this is one I still refer back to. Just last week I decided to cook some tandoori-style chicken and Googled ‘robotmusteat tandoor chicken’ to jog my memory on the yogurt marinade I’d used five years ago, since this is the only place I wrote it down.
So perhaps I’ll start posting here again, at least for cooking notes I’ll want to remember later. Still without ads, popups, or the bloviating writing style so many recipe sites seem to employ (I assume in pursuit of SEO ranking and $$).
I also used this as motivation to move the blog off of Wordpress.com (which I realized I was still paying for after all these years, but is overkill for text with a few images, in addition to having read about dubious behavior by the CEO), to a static web site built with Hugo– a good excuse to learn something new.
