I spend a lot of time managing my online presence, and I enjoy it a lot because it is my main social outlet. I post my magazine monthly, update one blog weekly and the other bi-weekly, and check Facebook daily. All are good ways to stay in touch with people vicariously, with Facebook having the most personal interaction and the blogs and magazine occasional responses.

Which reminds me to thank all of you who have commented here or at my VoP blog. Without readers this would be a very lonely blog indeed.

Recent Meals: People who know me realize how important food is to me, so here are some of the meals I’ve eaten this past week. All of it was homemade, of course!

Sunday: bean soup with sausage in the crockpot. A new variation which was delicious!

Monday: pizza, completely homemade except for the mozzarella. We make several styles of pizza, mostly variations of Neapolitan. This week’s was very thin and crispy.

Today: macaroni (although most of you would call it “pasta”), penne with sausage in gravy (which you would probably call “sauce”). Macaroni of any type is my favorite meal, with pizza next. A fine eating week it has been!
