Lyndonology

So, normally I shut down my blog a few days before Christmas and start posting again after New Years. This year I’m doing something a bit different and going on holidays a bit early. Still feeling a bit run down and sluggish after my recent infection.

Hoping a nice long rest, will leave me feeling recharged and ready to go!! Doesn’t mean I might stop posting completely. I’m kind of like those guys who can’t really leave the office behind. I can’t ever really stop blogging for too long, I tend to go a little stir crazy

At least it will give me time to work on my year end lists and practice getting more comfortable with using my microphone. So I might actually launch the much rumored podcast It’s coming, really it is, I just seem to be hit with various delays.

After my infection, I had a bit of a cold and ended up sounding a bit like Mr. Snuffleupagus. Maybe I should have recorded it, but it would be hard to keep up once I got better. Lately I find myself doing the radio announcer kind of voice and I’m try to sound natural. I don’t know what it is about a microphone that makes people do that?

That’s pretty much it! I think I’ll ask for the questions for the podcast again, once I get started. Gives you time to rethink what you want to ask or come up with new questions.

I saw this a few day ago, but I failed to bookmark the site But anyway, here’s the rules if you decide to join me as well.

1. Grab the nearest book.
2. Open the book to page 56.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the text of the next seven sentences in your journal along with these instructions.
5. Don’t dig for your favorite book, the cool book, or the intellectual one: pick the CLOSEST.

The nearest book that I have, since I don’t think magazines count is “Anthony Bourdain’s - Les Halles Cookbook“

Unfortunately when I turned it to page 56, I discovered a bit of a problem. It doesn’t have a fifth sentence, since it’s a picture of the ingredients of a salad nicoise; I think. So I’ve had to modify this a bit and I’ve decided to go back a page.

Cook over high heat for 5 to 6 minutes or until the shells are bright red all over. Do not scorch. Add in the tomato paste and mix well. After another 2 minutes of cooking and stirring, remove the pot from the heat and stir in the Cognac (unless you like setting your hair on fire, and enjoy the taste of burnt, brackish lobster shells.) With the spoon, scrape the bottom of the pot to dislodge all those tasty brown bits. Return the pot carefully to the fire, add water and the bouquet garni, and season with salt and pepper.

I know what some of you were probably thinking, it’s not down there (You cheeky little monkeys) As some of you may have noticed, I’ve been away for awhile. Apparently I had a minor infection, which was causing this extreme burning sensation in my left side. But after some antibiotics and a bit of rest. I’m feeling much better!

But as a result of my illness and some other developments on the home front. I”m pushing back the date of my podcasting debut. I’m thinking the first one will be on December 8th. So since I have sometime to kill, I figure I’d enlist a bit of help from some of you.

If your a long time reader of this site, you know that I’ve done question and answer periods before. But I’m not really sure how many of you remember anything from those past posts. Plus I have a lot of new readers that I’ve picked up this year. But enough of my rambling!!

For my first podcast/s I’d love to answer some of your questions. You can ask me anything you want and if you have a site I’ll give you a link back if I use your question.

You don’t have to be shy, I won’t bite. You can ask about blogging, me and for a rare time only. I might even be willing to talk about politics or (gasp) even religion.

So ask whatever you want and leave your question in the comment section!

P.S. Don’t leave a link to your site, if you filled out the comment fields, I’ll already have it. Plus it gunks up my spam filter!! Then I have to moderate and it gets annoying. Good rule of thumb, if you fill out the comment field on a blog that self hosts, you don’t need to leave a link to your site as well.
