I&#8217;m glad you asked.<br \/>\n<br clear=\"all\">First, my wonderful, patient husband, after months of me begging and pleading, figured out how to rewrite the code in the blog theme so that I can have somewhat of a <a href=\"https:\/\/crankymouse.com\/category\/recipes\" target=\"_blank\">Recipe Index<\/a>.  While it&#8217;s FAR from finished, it makes me feel like you could actually, say, look for a recipe here.  I&#8217;ll let you know when I get those previews to be the size I want them, but I&#8217;m thrilled that there is something \u2013 anything \u2013 remotely usable on that portion of the site.  (Just click on the recipe page or any of its categories \u2013 <a href=\"https:\/\/crankymouse.com\/category\/recipes\/appetizers\" target=\"_blank\">appetizers<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/crankymouse.com\/category\/recipes\/bakery\" target=\"_blank\">bakery<\/a>, etc. \u2013 above to check it out.)<br \/>\n<br clear=\"all\">I also added a few new features to the bottom of each post.  I know, big deal.  Who cares, you say.  Well, you might care when I tell you what that first greenish square is there.  It&#8217;s a print feature!  So, if you ever wanted to print out one of those drool-worthy recipes you&#8217;ve been reading, you can.  It has the option to print without the pictures, conserving ink and paper.  We like to conserve here.  It&#8217;s cheaper.  I had to print 16 pages of purple-colored text the other day and I cringed at the thought of my precious ink bleeding onto the pages.  Drifting, I am&#8230;  Print recipes for your recipe card holder, binder, folder, fridge, basket, whatever it is you have for that sort of thing.<br \/>\n<br clear=\"all\"><a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/olmanson\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/crankymouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/twitter.png\" alt=\"twitter\" title=\"twitter\" width=\"64\" height=\"64\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2109\" \/><\/a>THEN, after holding out for something (no, I don&#8217;t know what), I finally signed up for <a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/foodformyfamily\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter<\/a>.  I&#8217;d love if you&#8217;d follow me.  I&#8217;ll tell you all about what I&#8217;m cooking, what The O6 is doing, what I bought (keep reading).  It would make me feel special.

I bought a camera.  It is a lovely little thing.  Now, I&#8217;ll have you know that I had my heart set on a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nikonusa.com\/Find-Your-Nikon\/ProductDetail.page?pid=25432\" target=\"_blank\">Nikon D300<\/a> (and my heart still yearns to have it), but you Canon people have wrangled me in.  The $300 off also helped.  A nudge or two from multiple Canon users finds me the owner of a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.usa.canon.com\/consumer\/controller?act=ModelInfoAct&#038;fcategoryid=139&#038;modelid=17499\" target=\"_blank\">Canon 50D<\/a>.  And even with this purchase, coming over to the dark&#8230;err, the Canon side, I still have dissenters from the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dpnotes.com\/canon-t1i-vs-canon-50d\/\" target=\"_blank\">Rebel <\/a>users.  Yes, I DO hate <a href=\"http:\/\/www.usa.canon.com\/consumer\/controller?act=ModelInfoAct&#038;fcategoryid=139&#038;modelid=18385\" target=\"_blank\">HD video<\/a>.  Well, no, I don&#8217;t.  But my kids move fast, and shutter speed and frames per second are more important.<br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/crankymouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/day-old-cheesecake.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/crankymouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/day-old-cheesecake.jpg\" alt=\"day-old-cheesecake\" title=\"day-old-cheesecake\" width=\"535\" height=\"356\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2106\" srcset=\"https:\/\/crankymouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/day-old-cheesecake.jpg 535w, https:\/\/crankymouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/07\/day-old-cheesecake-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 535px) 100vw, 535px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nWhat it means is that I could potentially take a picture of day-old cheesecake that has been sitting in my fridge uncovered and it would look appetizing.  Appetizing enough to have eaten some of it for breakfast.  I&#8217;ll be here trying to figure out the ins and outs of my camera and waiting for my new lens to arrive.<br \/>\n<br clear=\"all\"><br \/>\nThat&#8217;s all.  Saturday concludes.
