I'm Confused! Rant

Image
By
Hello! How are you guys?

As we all know I just really decided to try to come back to blogging. This was not an easy decision for me. Am I full on headfirst into it like many others? No. Life is happening now and I'm still trying to ease my way back and/or deciding if this is right for me. Either way, this is the deal. When I stopped completely and gave up, I was surprised to see that SO MANY people were visiting my site. Now that I am "back" my numbers have dropped drastically. What in the Sam Houston is going on? That question is kinda sorta rhetorical. And, yes, I know you need to have thick skin "in this business" but it's discouraging as hell. I know I need to focus and find a direction but wow! Some parts of me want to completely start over on another platform. Another part of me feels like what's the point. You would think it would be easy to sit at home and type... No!
This was a dream of mine/ours and now, I don't know. I find myself predominantly on Instagram. It is 10xs easier for me to upload my food content, say what I need to and share it to all of my other social media sites.
There's so much I want to share with you guys but the only way for me to do that is through my computer which doesn't really work. I truly wish the Blogger App was easier to use.
I guess my rant is over. I'm sad, I really don't know what to do.
I'm recovering from my biopsy, The Lil Chef is going through so much and I'm too emotionally exhausted to keep up. I'm disappointed with myself, I don't understand why I can't do this. This should be easy, right? This is something I actually wanted to do. Maybe this isn't for me.
I'm so sorry for ranting but I needed to get it out.


To be continued...

Hough Bakery - butter cookies

By
Hough Bakery By  Gail Greenberg   &   Diane Rolfe Hough Bakery was an integral  part of me and my family's lives, (most people in Cleveland for that matter) I was heartbroken when they closed. I have  always remembered the cookies and doughnuts from this magical bakery. Their products were like nothing I had ever had before (and it was extra  magical because I was so little/young) I have been searching for about 30 years for something similar - no luck... but, thank goodness there are a few recipes floating around the internet! Unfortunately  even with Archie's being open, my food afflictions will not allow  me to enjoy those old time favorites. Luckily, converting is what I do and that's what this site is about so I  will switch some things  around and see how it turns out! The recipe below is just ONE of my all time favorites, please enjoy! Memories of a signature blue-and-white, string-tied cake box filled with a streus...

Johnny Mango's Shrimp Fried Rice with Fiery Lime Sauce

By
Backstory: My friend introduced me to this AMAZING fried rice about 6yrs ago. She asked did I want "fried rice" (I'm thinking "traditional" fried rice) OH NO! I tasted this and my taste buds went crazy!!! I had her bring it as often as I could. Unfortunately I have never been to Johnny Mango (near Downtown Cleveland) myself. I have been craving this for about 6yrs and I am SOOOOO HAPPY that there is a recipe! I do still want to go to   Johnny Mango World Cafe & Bar but until then I will try to recreate it myself.

Authentic 1-Day Ethiopian Injera: Gluten-Free 100% Teff Flatbread

By
I really really hope that I can make this recipe work! I received some teff flour from the food pantry and I had NO idea what to do with it. I am so happy I found this recipe! Makes:  4-6 Injera Time:  1 day to ferment, about 30 minutes to cook Tools: Large glass bowl Cheesecloth, muslin or kitchen towel with a thin weave Parchment paper Ingredients: Try to buy everything organic.   Here’s why . 1 1/2 cups teff flour 2 cups pure water 1/2 tsp baking powder Coconut oil for pan 1/4 tsp salt, or more to taste Let’s get started. Place Teff flour in a large glass bowl, add water and stir well. Cover with a cheesecloth or towel and place on the counter and let it sit for 1 day/24hrs. Do not agitate or stir the batter, just leave it be. After 24 hours, you’ll see that your batter is alive and fermenting. Every batch I made looked a bit different, some were brain-like (below) and some were less puffy. Bring a pan to medium heat, and very lightly, coat ...
