You asked, dear friends, and I said yes. Granted, I said it about ten days ago, but I still said yes. "Will you share the recipe for the focaccia/ginger-glazed chocolate cake/kuchen/Shaker Meyer Lemon Pie/apricot jam?" Why, yes, yes, absolutely, yes!
Eventually.
Tonight, though, I am helping a new neighbor move in, so to speak. One of my fellow toilers at LuthorCorp is also a world-class bakerina, as well as a cook without parallel. She is an alumna of the same culinary school I attended (although we attended in different years, and she earned a culinary arts diploma while I earned a pastry and baking arts diploma), she is a hard worker in the box factory salt mines, and she is sharpening her foodwriting pencils even as we speak. Tonight she takes the great leap forward into blogging, and I'm helping her get started, although, truthfully, she is so smart, and so good at any task to which she sets her mind, that I'm a bit mystified that she thinks that any help from me would be necessary, or even desirable.
Of course you know that once she goes live, a link will be forthcoming. I will beam like a proud auntie, and then I will make the observation that a blogday just isn't a blogday without cake...
Edit:It's official! Lynne Marie has gone live. Go say hello, either via her comment field or at queens(dot)cuisine(at)yahoo(dot)com.
Sorry. I tried. But I’m too lazy to set up an account just to leave comments. The great one I wrote is filed in blogger’s trashheap.
Tell her to try again on a friendly service, like the one Keith uses, if she wants ‘mouse comments.
’mouse, honey, we’re working on it. We are going to solicit help from people more Blogger-fluent than I am.

Perhaps. Or maybe I should recommend that all ‘mouse comments go to the email address that Lynne so thoughtfully provided for us. 
Somebody else I visit uses blogger. They do allow anonymous comments, and I always just sign my name. I simply cannot bring myself to do one more registration in order to waste time. It’s become a deep moral issue. And email, well for that I have to switch to my non-business screenname. Again it’s one iota more weight than I can carry. Sorry. I’ll try again later.
Mr. o, are you really comparing the the vital and venerable tradition of foodwriting to the algaefication of ponds? Dude, I’m shocked and appalled. But if you really want to alert the Today Show ("Food on the Web: The Hidden Killer in Your Child’s Browser!"), make sure you call Meredith, because Katie will just round-file it.
