I got so carried away thinking about grids that I made 6 different ones, and then shuffled this out to start with.

This whole one-a-day thing is interesting in that I feel free to try multiple takes on a concept and see how they play. I don’t deeply care if a couple (or more) really suck. I know out of a January’s worth of cards there might be one or two fabulous ones, but the great thing is that any four people would probably pick four different ones as the absolute best of the month. I’d probably pick a fifth!

We had a friend over for supper last night, braised lamb shanks, roasted vegetables, russian banana fingerling potatos (I love the name, the potatos are merely OK) and a Cake for dessert. K made the most amazing cake, devil’s food, from Cooks Illustrated, with whipped cream for frosting. I had many pieces last night, and a couple more tonight. It is one of those foods I am not entirely rational in the presence of. So, I get to eat it until it is gone, which isn’t all bad. Cook’s has a coconut cake like that too – I can’t make it unless I have many other people to feed it to, because I am completely capable of eating the whole thing and regretting it fiercely later.

And then this morning I was in  K’s blog ! This is a strange feeling, I must say. I mean I understood, kind of, about the whole putting oneself out there kind of thing, but to show up somewhere is just, well, odd.

Do leave me a note if you stop by, this thing is still in the testing phase. If I like it, I’ll sign up for more than January, but if the novelty has worn off, I’m done!
