Busy, busy, busy

Picture the magician in my favorite snowman (Frosty) movie, after Santa’s visit.

I’ve been a bit slow in posting recipes & ideas, because I have been working on some stories, as well as a cook book. The stories are selling of course, so I kind of lean towards feeding that.

I also am learning an art program, that has quite the learning curve to it. I am adding illustrations to my stories (not the cook book). So this means I need to re-read, & start pasting. I still have to retouch (PSE) those panels to be story specific.

I can’t find a cook book program that I like, & Amazon isn’t being helpful with the Kindle one. So, I’ve been working with an old (ancient in computer terms) program called Master Cook (5) Suite because it was a great program, & would publish in a fairly good PDF-cook book page style. The only problem is importing the recipes, tips & so on. A bit time consuming.
Side bar, you can still import recipes with it, from the web., & trading is always fun.

Anyhow, so that’s where I am at. Aside from the pandemic making things difficult, being a published author, keeping up on my help forums, a “couple” other blogs, editing stories & books, learning a 3D story panel program, I have one or two normal things to contend with like everyone else :}). Oh, & I have tennis elbow so typing hurts :{(.

Stay safe. Practice cooking & your knife skills.  .  . I wouldn’t go all Julia Child, 300 pounds of onions crazy, but maybe 100 pounds.
