An interesting perspective

This article from www.nytimes.com talks about women who blog and the blogher conference held recently in San Francisco.

It makes me ponder a few things about how all this works. I blog myself for entertainment. I also maintain other blogs for work-related and hobby purposes.

I took a short vacation from my blogs this weekend (because I purposely left town without my laptop), and I will continue to do the same for a bit until I decide what my real purpose is for this blog. Any suggestions are welcome, even if they aren't used.

More later...

Kitchen garden harvest

The produce is starting to roll in from my little garden I planted in the front flower box. I put in two Roma tomato plants and a bunch of Swiss chard in May. So far, I've gotten a couple of ripe tomatoes and a whole lot of chard.



Since I found this interesting chard recipe in the newspaper this week, I decided to try it out. Hubby barbecued some hamburgers, brats and Italian sausage. I also made a dish of scalloped potatoes and a blueberry crisp for dessert, since it wasn't too hot today.



The chard turned out pretty well. Now all I have to do is wait for some more to grow so I can make it again.
