Since I’ve been writing as many food-related posts as quilt-related posts, and since someone suggested that this might be a good idea, I’ve decided to add a recipe section to my blog. I won’t be able to add some of the recipes I use, as they’re in French. Okay, I could<\/i> translate them, but the French tend to use weight for measuring, while we in the US tend to use volume. It’s the difference between cups and grams, for example. I simply don’t want to spend the time weighing everything and then also figuring out how much that might be in volume, so I’ll only post recipes that will work easily here in the US. It will save frustration on most of our parts. \ud83d\ude09 <\/div>\n

I also won’t be posting recipes that I’ve pulled from other sites and then linked to in my posts — fair is fair, after all. Going to the links in my posts is merely a matter of a little click.

At any rate, I’ve now placed a link at the left (below the Labels list) to the recipes page of my blog. I hope you enjoy something there. \ud83d\ude42<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
