So It is August the second. One day after our 6 months experiment in partial vegetarianism (pescatarianism) has ended.

We're still meat free as of this minute (though I dunno if Chrystal has pounced on a sausage roll at some point today). We decided against having pork sausages and bacon for breakfast yesterday morning to celerbrate, even though we passed a parent-recommended butcher in Narrogin on Saturday arvo the day before. We had mushrooms, eggs and fried potatoes instead. We're not entirely sure what to do now that we're 'free'. One thing we will do is spend a restaurant voucher that Chrystal received from work. We decided to hold on to that until we can eat more than 15% of the menu.

Regarding pumpkincrumble.com
That blogging experiment didn't go crash hot. As anyone following would have noticed we neglected it pretty hard. We both really enjoyed some aspects of it. Mainly the cooking awesome food and taking photographs and writing little bits of text. We actually took photographs of probably 2 or 3 times as many meals as we ended up blogging about. So I've identified the collating and posting effort as the gating factor.

Ideally after clicking the camera button the photo would magically be in some sort of captioning queue and all we'd have to do is go to some site every couple days and type something up for any photos that weren't captioned and hit go or something like that. In fact the blog runs on wordpress and requires a significant and pretty annoying and cumbersome process in order to put together a post. Including uploading images, resizing them, etc etc. I'd love to get it up and running as a general cookery blog after sorting out those issues.

That is part of the reason I'm trying posterous with this post, seeing what simplification solutions are now available. Just emailing some text and photos seems compelling. I'll also be looking into things I've skipped over in the past like flickr etc. Ideally taking and dumping photos from whatever device and then having them backed up in full locally and available online for posting would be some magical process. Let me know if you have this all sorted out.
