Four months later – hello! In my absence I have cooked many things and also had a baby. Amazing, is it not? And since Greyson dumped a glass of iced tea in my laptop while I was feeding said baby, I also have a new laptop. Parenthood, it is a challenging and unexpectedly expensive thing. [...]

Since technically it was uploaded and mostly ready to go yesterday, I am going to write this goal off as a success.
http://www.kitchenista.org is live! I’ve moved all my food posts over and in the future will be posting my recipes and reviews there, reserving life@justthere for more …well, life related things. Feel free to update [...]

I am having the most ridiculous formatting issues with my posts, so expect a new look sometime in the near future. Perhaps a look that will not force me to edit and re-edit and re-edit trying to find the magic spacing combination to keep my divs from floating all over the place. Argh.

This would all be so much easier if I could just post to here and Facebook at the same time! Meanwhile, I hope this weekend to have updated with all of the posts I’ve meant to make and just haven’t.

So, let me do a little introduction here and then we’ll get to the rest of it.
 
So, my name is Alicia and this is my kingdom. I’ve owned this domain now for…a long time. A decade, give or take a few service interruptions. It has been through many redesigns and served many purposes, but [...]

I should be better at updating.
I’m going to start working hard at being a portrait photographer instead of just a useless dilettante. I’m going to get more work in my portfolio and start whoring myself out (as a photographer!) on craigslist and all of the other sites, and then I’m going to upgrade to a [...]
