I thought that I would give everyone a couple of days to absorb my tamales recipe from yesterday, so I did not post a new recipe today. I did, however, make some changes to my About page and thought that I should mention that to my regular readers who may otherwise not have looked. I wanted to share a little more information about myself to allow you to know me a bit better as well as include some additional information pertaining to my blog. I hope you like the changes and thank you for visiting.

Well, we seem to have outgrown our server so I spent the last week researching hosting companies. After many hours, let’s call it 70, I made a decision! I went with Hawk Host, as I believe they had the best combination of what I was looking for in a hosting company. And so far, so good.

Tony, the CEO of the company spent a great deal of time assisting me on the phone prior to my decision and has continued to be there during the migration.  I was expecting to do a lot of work to get the site moved from one host to another, but to my surprise, Hawk Host handled almost everything and the process was fast and smooth. There were a few kinks to iron out, but nothing that wasn’t remedied almost immediately. And these kinks, to which I am referring, were only visible to me, as I was able to approve the site on their servers before going live!  We were able to make the transition with only seconds of site downtime. I could not find a bad review about this company, only positive, and I understand why. Read more…

If you’re a regular visitor, I’m sure you noticed the differences in the site’s appearance, as I have changed the homepage. I will be continuing to make some adjustments over the next week or two. The new tabbed feature will allow you quick and easy access to some of my favorite posts on the site. I hope you like the new look and the improvements.

If you experience any issues with the new site, please feel free to email me using the contact form. Thank you for visiting.

Our server will be upgrading some time between Sunday July 26th  and Wednesday July 29th. The site will be down for about one hour during this the upgrade. So, don’t worry if you are temporarily unable to access the site, we are still here.  Please just give it a little time and try us back.

We apologize for any inconvenience this upgrade may cause.
