A labour of love

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!

Scott @ SCK
