If you've been kind to enough to try following me on social media, you may have noticed that I'm...not. Very social. On social media. I kind of suck at it, to be honest. There's just so many things I'd rather be doing with my time (like writing, reading, cooking, & eating--which just happen to be the main topics of this blog!). But I'm also aware that I'm missing out on opportunities to stay abreast of topics that fascinate me, people who inspire me, & cool networking. So it's been my intention to up my game. Or at least get more consistent on something as basic as Facebook.
Then, Zuckerberg did his stupid.
I've always had hesitancies around social media for personal values reasons, but I've been persuaded to overlook them in the past. Now, however, with fact checking (what there was of it) being officially removed from Facebook, I'm done. I'm off. I will be keeping my page because I don't want anybody else to take my name & impersonate me, but I will neither be looking at it nor contributing to it.
I am going onto Bluesky. Which means now I have to stumble my ignoramus self through learning THAT platform, so don't expect a whole lot for awhile. Really, look at this blog, & if you want to know what I'm reading check me out on Good Reads. Some day, I will even get my website up.
And now, because I feel like it, here is a picture of the dessert I made for Christmas:
This was sort-of-a-personal-sized trifle. I used chocolate cake chunks leftover from when we made 150 Hour Chocolate Cake for my Mom's birthday back in the fall (we froze them for this very reason), & layered it with mascarpone cream, homemade raspberry jam, & frozen raspberries. It was goooood. I feel my mouth getting drooly just remembering.
