It all started with a midnight brownie…
I didn’t think it would be this long before I blogged again.
I guess I got caught up in first semester chaos – exploring the city, adjusting to classes, working on papers, rehearsing presentations, fighting the dreaded Freshman Fifteen.
Despite my intentions to continue TMB while away at school, blogging definitely took a backseat to everything else going on in my life.
Over the past five or so months, I have learned an abundance about blogging. Food blogging, in particular. Shall I share a brief list with you? Why not!
1.) As a new blogger, the majority of your readers are friends or family. Really, this is not all that surprising.
2.) Blogging is addicting. Fact.
3.) Your computer hard-drive becomes overloaded with pictures.
4.) The absurd quantity of pictures seems even more absurd when you consider the fact that the pictures are of food . . . and only food.
5.) Speaking of pictures, bigger isn’t always better. I doubt you want to spend an hour waiting for all the pictures on a single blog post to load. I sure don’t!
6.) Taste Spotting is very critical when accepting submissions.
7.) Dessert Stalking is not.
8.) Post titles should be straight-forward (unlike this list is turning out to be).
9.) There’s a lot of butter involved. It’s dangerous.
10.) Exercise is recommended.

I decided it was about time to really get a move on with my fall baking.
. . . I also decided that chocolate is always an appropriate flavor for any and every season.
So am I justified in thinking that dressing up a chocolate loaf with pumpkin seeds is a fall-freindly recipe? For today, let’s say it is.
Fall is quite possibly my favorite season. Despite the fact that the days get shorter, the nights get colder, and the summer becomes a distant memory, the fall has a certain charm that I find unmatched by the other three seasons. From the chilly (but not freezing!) Saturday mornings to the smell of freshly-lit fire wood, I love it all. (Okay, except for the fogged-up windshield that I have to contend with every day on my drive to school. Not fun.)
