It was a sad day when Gourmet magazine went away. Luckily they maintain a site with recipes, features, and blogs.

Welcome to the New + Improved Blog!

This blog of mine has had a few name changes over the years. Previously Ramblings and Ruminations, then Ruminations and Revelations, and at one time My Life in 365. In an effort to simplify and also inject a bit of humor the new name (for now!) will be the JENsonian. I have used this title in conversation a million times in reference to bits and bobs I've collected and saved throughout my life. For example: "Oh, this? This old denim jacket from 15 years ago that no longer fits but I wore during three glorious summers in Europe? No, I'm not throwing it away -- its going in the JENsonian."

This blog will still focus on my "ruminations" and "revelations" and "ramblings", but now it will have a name that is less of a mouthful. Thoughts?
