Recipe: Chocolate Waffles

Last Saturday, along with two double lattes, I ate waffles and raisins. As far as my food intake went, that was about it. We shall not count the wine as I consider that “medication.”

Andrew was pretty steamed at me for ignoring my health — a luxury I often deny him — but I was stressed, and carbs and coffee are the way I cope. After ignoring my blog theme’s upgrades for well over a year, I decided Saturday would be the ideal time to catch up. As punishment for my neglect, I was forced to leap three generations in one go. Being clueless about all the incremental changes that had gone on in my absence, things got messy. Very messy. Hence the sugar and caffeine.

Thumbnail images disappeared then reappeared five times their expected size. The header went AWOL for a good hour while I whimpered, “No no no no no nonononono!” I credit this whinging with the near miraculous return of the vanished image because it sure wasn’t tech skills that brought it back. I have no record of the colour I selected for the navigation bar, so spent a good hour playing with hues that ranged from a retina-burning lime green to a depressingly drab olive too ugly for army fatigues. And we won’t even get into how all my replies to your comments played hide & seek.

So if things look a little different. They are. Some changes are intentional — for instance, teasers are now 2-up. Andrew says that’s okay. I’m not sure if he’s lying to keep me sane or if he really likes it. What do you think? Be honest. I can take it (now).

On the other hand, some changes are unintentional, or worse, unidentified. I’ve been fiddling with tweaks all week, and while I caught a lot of minor glitches, am sure a few still lurk in the shadows. If you find something broken, blame me and then tell me about it via the comments section. I’ll see if I can fix it.

In the meantime, here are some soothing, chocolately carbs for your troubles.
