Hey, you got your Cabernet on my umeboshi

So:  the Spilt Wine section of Interregnum is now up, although not exactly in the form I had expected…  It seems Chef Yoko had secret aspirations on starting a second journal about food, and Nickykaa prodded her into doing something about them, and I had already groused at some length about the lack of functionality in my original arrangement with recipes, and one thing led to another, and now Spilt Wine is Spilt Wine & Sticky Rice, a whole separate blog about food co-authored by Yoko and myself.  At least eventually.  For the immediate future, while I continue to participate in seeing my family through their various health concerns, you can expect it to be her show, and my participation in it to be limited to posting such recipes as I already had in the can during my lunch breaks at work.  (And she’s away for the weekend, and doesn’t even know it’s all ready to go yet.  Surprise!)

I’d personally like to open it up to anybody who has recipes or writing about eating and cooking or restaurant reviews or whatever else they want to contribute, although we haven’t gotten that far in discussing it.  (We haven’t even put up our nifty title graphic;  expect the look to change, too.)  But either way, we hope it’ll be everyone’s go-to place for all things comestible.  And that it won’t take up too terribly much of our time and energy.

Yeahright.

    I’m going to take it one step further and directly solicit friends for contributions. As my aikido teacher says, “Volunteer, or be volunteered.” bwa ha ha!

    Aw yeah, we gonna rock da house. Once we get the theme worked out. uh huh.

    Sweet! That works too. I did that with the recipes section of my original site, but to mixed results.

    Also, this entry got pinged by a spider collecting references to alcohol for a completely unmaintained blog called “Alcohol Posts”. Not sure that does us any good, but you never know.
