Hello Blog Buddies.
I finally posted the Ahi Wrap. I know, you were all standing on pins and needles waiting for it.
It's so yummy. I'll send anyone a bottle of dressing (well, let's say I'll send to the first 5 requesters) if you can't get it where you live.

Food Blogging for Dummies
So, I started a blog on wordpress, about 2 months ago. This is going to be a foodblog, and I finally just posted my first entry today.
Now, I thought when I switched over to wordpress it was going to be all strawberries and cream. Not so. I have had nothing but headaches over their template issues. For one, I can't just use whatever size font I want for the post title. What is WRONG with that? I have looked up and down the CSS text and cannot see what I can change. It is so disappointing.
Secondly, I've had a helluva (it's not swearing when you put the three together) time picking a &%*$&@# wordpress theme (again, not swearing when these are reduced to cutesy pictoral signifiers) and am very unhappy about my choice.
But I decided to stop whining and just do it already. I will fix it once I meet someone who knows CSS and then I will bathe him/her in baked goods for the rest of his/her life (or at least once).
Now, this is when you're going to tell me that there is already a site called "cookthink.com" I know. I know. I know. Plus what they do on cookthink.com is what I was envisioning my blog to be. I got frustrated by the fact that every single site I wanted was taken, and when I found this one, I was overjoyed, and then immediately despaired when I was told about cookthink. ARGH.
So, I'm separating my cooking life from this blog and writing on the other. I'm hoping to write about my own cooking, as well as political, economic, social issues associated with food or cooking. If you have ideas for what I should write about then PLEASE tell me. I've got a list going already.
Also, if you are wanting to join me as a writer on my duplicitous plagiaristically named blog, and eventually become famous and be a millionaire blogger to support your food porn addiction, I'm taking applications.

Blog Search
icerocket is kind enough to tell me who happens upon my blog (just their city and state, or country in some cases), and what they've searched on google that would bring up my page in the first place. I have noticed that my blog comes up when people do some funny searches. It really makes me want to know why a person would be searching for these terms. The best ones so far?
"College age women who wet their pants during lectures"
"run peeing"
"cut my bangs up to my hairline"
There are some other funny ones, but I especially like these.
So far, the posts that win for the most number of searches is tied between the urination one, and the hair cut post. Soba with spicy peanut sauce is a close third.
For the people who are looking for advice about cutting your bangs: DON'T! Although I prefer really long bangs to no bangs at all, I've decided. Certainly bangs cut up to your hair line is a bit excessive, don't you think?
For people who want to know about urination, I'm no expert. Can you tell me why you want to know about female urination during lectures? Does that happen? Now I'm curious. Did that happen to you? Are you worried that someone posted about it and are now scouring blog sites to see who has revealed your story to the world?
Poor thing. I hope it turns out okay.
I'm assuming the "run peeing" search is a marathon runner. If this is your first marathon, I have to recommend port-a-potties. You don't really get away with it unless you are a world class runner. If you're not that, you probably just look like a moron. I mean, what's 5 minutes to you?
