I know it's not quite November, but I've got some news a little farther down about an event on November 1st, so I thought I'd sent it out a day earlier for those who want to attend. I did already stock up on Halloween treats at an event last night, so I'm already set, but while I'm doing events out-and-about, am missing my local market and all the treats I get to indulge in there, like the lovely rich crock of rillettes that fortifies us as the weather turns cooler.
October was an eventful month for my blog, which turned twenty years old. I didn't think that I'd be doing it for twenty years. But it never occurred to me to stop! I wrote a post about it, that talked about how I started the blog, where it took me, and where it is now. But here we are, twenty years later (and I'm twenty years older), and I'm still at it.
It was a pretty busy month as I was zinging around, from recording a Lunch Therapy podcast with Adam Roberts, to sending off my next book to the printer, that's coming out in March. I'm a bit zonked for it all, but with the holidays coming, I get to do what I love to do most: bake!
