Just Cured - Experience Fine Foods

Have I not written anything for over a week because I have nothing to say?

Have I been busy with Just Cured and a little bit of legal work?

Has the economy been weighing on my mind?

Or the financial crisis?

Certainly the final three have something to do with my quiet.† The first certainly not; there are many subjects on which I want to speak out.

I discovered this morning that I have been avoiding my home desk and the computer at that desk — the place I write most of my blog posts.† There’s something missing at that desk, a little cat searching for attention.† For the past year (as long as the computer has been so situated), any time I sat there during the day, Boris was immediately at my side, poking at my lap, jumping up, and assisting with my work at hand.† His paws competed with my fingers on the keys, slowing down my typing.† The competition for the keys allowed me to draft and edit in my head while I waited my turn at the keyboard.† It is disconcerting to work at this place without his assistance.† I’ll get past this and develop a new rhythm to my time at this desk.† In the meantime, I am going to savor Boris’s memory and his absence.

On a more positive note, if you are free on Friday night for dinner, join me for the wine dinner I am cooking at City Cellars.† For information, visit the City Cellars website, and for reservations, call 513.621.WINE
