Holy shit it's been a long time... It's amazing how your life goes straight down the toilet when you're sick for 6 months. What's worse is that even 6 months after you get healthy again there's still lingering after effects.

On the plus side I've been better for 6 months so fuck it, I can deal with the after effects. On the negative side I'm still painfully single but that's nothing new.

I am also planning a dinner in December sometime where every single dish in a 4 course meal must have alcohol of some kind in it and the same alcohol can't be used twice. It should be fun. Here's the current menu line-up:

Appetizer: Poached Pears with a Basil Goat Cheese and Pine Nut Stuffing
Salad - Mixed Green Salad with an Orange Ginger Champagne Vinagrette
Entree - Spice Rubbed Pork Tenderloin with a Cherry Port Reduction
Veggie - TBD
Starch - TBD
Dessert - Some Variation on Rice Pudding and Some Variation on Bread Pudding (I think)

Anyway, just dropping in to say hi to anyone and everyone. I'll be back a bit more often hopefully.
