Hello, readers and friends! Merry Christmas!
I am so very sorry for the long silence here on my blog. It’s been a rough year, dealing with realities such as divorce. Arthur, Libby and I moved in with my parents a few months ago; we’re enjoying the safe haven that they have provided for us (not to mention the extra Dachshunds… my mom has 2 as well!) while I’ve been figuring things out and have been getting back on my feet financially and emotionally. I’ve come a long way in a short period of time!
This has been a time of growth and reflection while I am trying to make some major life decisions. There’s a lot to look forward to in the New Year, including getting back in the kitchen and rediscovering my love for writing about it. In the meantime, I appreciate your understanding and patience this holiday season. I am sorry that I am not posting fun new recipes this holiday season, but hopefully last year’s recipes will tide you over!
My goal for 2012 is to start posting regularly again. I look forward to it.
Again, Merry Christmas and best wishes for the New Year. See you soon!
Xoxo,
Emily R.
(My last name no longer begins with “Z”… I am trying to decide if I should just keep the blog name as is, or come up with something different… I am open to suggestions!)




So glad you are back and sorry it has been such a rough year. Time does heal most wounds. I’ve recovered from much in my life and time and a great support system can conquer most things. I can’t wait to see what you’ll cook up!
I am so sorry to hear about your tough times this last year. Wishing you a much brighter 2012!
