Naive me — I was shocked to find out that it’s really difficult to run your own site. “They” recommend that I hire someone to do all of this for me, but it’s very expensive. And now I know why. But hopefully, you’ll see this site becoming more personalized each time you visit.
And so, here’s a recipe and a post simply so I can take a break from my tech-heavy day. 🙂
