I must admit that writing about food doesn’t really seem so important at the moment, since I’m on a bit of a diet. Yes, a diet. I don’t usually do the diet thing, but rannahooaeg (beach season) is creeping up on me, and I realized that I’ve perhaps been a bit too generous with myself recently. You know how it goes. So now I’m eating typical low-fat diet-type food and working out. I’m signed up to participate in a race tomorrow—7 km. My only prior race experience was 5 km, and that was quite some time ago, so we’ll see how it goes. I do run regularly, but I don’t think I usually cover a distance of 7 km all at once…

There is some good news though. For one thing, I have plenty of food to write about that I experienced prior to the diet, so I’ll do that when I’m in the right mood. Another good thing is that I’ll have a guest writer posting to my blog soon, which I’m really excited about . A third good thing is that I’ll only be dieting for the next month or so, because in the middle of June I’m going to Brussels for work. For a month. (I love the fact that I’m getting paid to travel!!). As an added bonus, J will be joining me there, and you’d better believe that when we’re in Brussels, we won’t hesitate to sample the exquisite mussels and pommes frites and beer and chocolates. Mmm….

And I guess it’s also time to share my blog with a somewhat wider audience. I would estimate that about 4 people read it right now . I would love to add other blogs to my blogroll and be more social in the blog world, but to be honest, the last time I tried I couldn’t figure out how to do it. So I may continue to be an antisocial blog until I can get somebody who’s not a computer idiot to help me out. And speaking of which, I hate the fact that the font size seems to be different in every single post, even though I try to make them all the same… I swear, one of these days I’ll figure out what I’m doing.
