Let's start with a poem--which I posted to Ye Olde Facebook today as it is a toothsome thing, and then mulled further in comments, said pontification to be found beyond the clicky curtain below.

If you host a web page or e-mail through me, you've hopefully already heard that I'm migrating everything to new hardware.

Tonight, for Hrafnar's landspirit picnic, I didn't have time, energy, or bandwidth to make a loaf of my awesome vollkornbrot*. However, I did have time to throw together the following spread/dip, based on Alton Brown's herbed yogurt spreadThe result is pretty tasty, something like what might happen if sour cream and guacamole had a baby.
