Learning to Blog
I went to see Julie and Julia the day it came out and will never be the same. I love Paris, I love Meryl Streep, didn’t really know a great deal about Julia Child and have been being told for ages that what the Jfffabrics website needs is a blog; the film touched every nerve. A blog, a new word is a thing I truly, truly know nothing about, so I’ve started reading blogs in an effort to get my mind around yet one more thing the electronic world is assuming is within my frame of reference. OK, not so bad. I have to admit though that it was Julie Powell’s blog in the film that gave me the first insight although I certainly don’t intend working my way systematically through Julie Child’s recipes, but I did order "Mastering the Art of French Cooking" from Amazon"!
I’ve decided a blog is a lovely way of getting to know people, of sharing experiences, knowledge and personal information. So, let’s give it a go. Yes, this is a fabric and mainly quilting website, but for years I’ve written about all sorts of other things as well, in the monthly newsletter that goes out to our shop customers. Cooking is one of them! And people have come to expect that of me. I do think that most people who sew, also cook. I'm often away for months at a time at a second home in Spain and when I'm there, my sister, Kim, runs the shop and when people ask her what I do in Spain, she answers: "Cooks and sews". I thought, surely not, but upon reflection realized that it was a fairly accurate summation of activities……anywhere! So, as you can probably guess, this is also a site about food and I hope to use it as a springboard for sharing recipes, especially ones I’ve acquired living in the Mediterranean region. This month’s featured recipe is "Alioli Potatoes" and its use in a great regional salad. It’s under "Recipe of the Month". If you try it, let me know what you think. Of course, there will be more than one recipe a month!

Tomorrow will be soon enough to start talking about fabric, such an exciting subject needs a page of its own, don’t you think?

I'm so excited to learn about Bobbi's Blog, and to read about her latest adventures. I agree that fabric should have its own page; however I see it being more of a scroll than page. The added bonus are the recipes. I will be attempting to create the Alioli Potatoes. I just hope they turn out half as good as Bobbi's. Glad to know there will be more than one recipe a month. Thank you, Bobbi, for sharing the fun of fabrics and good food.
