As I sit here tonight having just assembled the Pantry Chicken Stew recipe, I am reflecting on my time working on the site. When I started this project, web blogging was a total unknown to me – the coding, the writing, the design – it has been a real learning curve for me.
I am really enjoying the process. I thrive on learning new things, and this has really fed that need. It has gotten me to record some of my food creations, which even if I am the only user, it is nice to have them where they can be accessed weeks/months/years down the road.
It is also a time consuming process. This I think I underestimated greatly. Because I think I lead a fairly average life, I don’t feel a need to prattle on about having done the laundry on the weekend (ok, Kathy doing the laundry on the weekend), or going to McWhereever for food on the fly – it just isn’t that interesting.
Because of this, my posts are for the most part recipes, and each recipe page is the culmination of hours of work. I love the time spent doing it, and having a finished page for the site is rewarding for me creatively. But because it takes so long to work up a recipe from an initial creation on a plate to a recipe ready for the site, I find it taking me considerable periods of time between posts. I have a few recipes I am working on, and hopefully they will be ready for the site before too long.
I think that I will stick with the quality over quantity approach to the site. Gradually I will build up content, and hopefully some of my faithful readers (one of the two of you anyway) will find time to recreate a recipe or two. I am always interested in feedback, and I hope that somewhere along the way you will find something of interest and value here on the pages of Scott’s Country Kitchen.
Until the next time!
