Blog II: Electric Boogaloo UPDATED
Brace yourselves for some earth-shattering news.
I've started another blog.
"Now Metalia," You might ask, "For the love of cheese, why are you starting a new blog when just a few short months ago, you were bitching about Blogger, and how you wanted to create your own site? Won't this make it more difficult to consolidate and transfer with your current blog over to your new site, once you get off your lazy posterior and actually set it up?"
What can I say, I love a challenge.
Anyway. I started a food blog.
I know! So original! So groundbreaking! It's! Never! Been! Done! Before!
What's that? Oh. Oh, I see. Really? Like, eleventy billion times already? Huh.
Well, whatever. I'm still doing it, suckas. I cook constantly, love it, and I feel like I'm forever disseminating recipes to friends, both blog and "real life," so I figured I'd jump in the game, too. While I can't say the CONCEPT is original, I can guarantee you that I will only post recipes (with accompanying pictures, of course) of stuff I love. Well, stuff I love, and anything that turns out so awful that it warrants a post, and weird foodstuffs I come across. (Like the super-appetizing grits here, for example.)
And so, my friends, I bring you...Just Eat It.
As I mention there, the title was not the result of some long, contemplative thought process on my part, but rather, the fact that I was flipping back and forth between The Food Network and some music channel that was showing old-school Michael Jackson videos. No, seriously.
I've already posted my first recipe there; and to entice you all to check it out, I ensured that it involved alcohol. I'm crafty like that, yo.
Go!
UPDATE: Oh, are you effing KIDDING me? I have just learned from Amanda and my brother that the title I so proudly selected for my new blog is also the title of a Weird Al Yankovic song. Sigh. Perhaps instead of practically dislocating my arm from patting my own self on the back for my (alleged) ingenuity, I should instead use that arm to Google prospective blog titles next time. Oh, well. I'm keeping it, so suck it, Weird Al. (If that's even your real name.)

Mmmm... food. Me likey food, so I'll be a frequent visitor.
Oh yay! I'm excited! I'm always looking for good, new recipes so I'll be visiting that site a lot too.
Cool. Link added! Always on the prowl for new recipes.
See ya on the flip-flop, homeslice!
I apoligize for that, but you tempted me by saying "yo."
I love food, too! And food blogs! And Weird Al Yankovic (not really). Just wanted to say I support your site name. :)
I love your rationale with the site name. You never know when inspiration will strike, obviously.
As you know, I do not cook much, but you did not steer me wrong with the pesto chicken thing, so I will surely check it out.
just when we get used to plucking "metalia" on the google toolbar, you decide to start a whole new blog?
i see it now, your shiny, new blog will be your favorite, while this ol' blog will sit at home in a ratty robe, chain smoking, washing the same dishes, doing your laundry, keeping a nice dress in a dry cleaning bag on the bathroom door, waiting for you to take her out once again...
(...and that's how my marriage ended...)
i'm in, anyway. the name's too good to ignore.
Congrats on the new site! Also, you're A-Okay on the title. Weird Al's song title is actually "Eat It" :-)
P.S. My blogfriend Average Jane can report that he is really a nice guy in person, so he probably wouldn't have had had the Suits chasing you anyway.
Yay! on the new site, I'm a wee bit obsessed with food sites. Not surprising.
And also? Totally curious as to your "prom star"-old friend's name. In the name of all that is holy and good, please email me swimsharky@gmail.com and let me know. Heh, prom star.
I continue to fall for you, sister. I love to cook too - have a ton of easy and good recipes - would love to share - can e-mail... can't wait to see what kinds of yummy things you send our way on the new site.
Best,
OTJ
i can't wait for new recipes. especially for ones that include my new kitchenaid. btw: i can't wait to try out the ones you sent me. thanks!!!
Holy crap, you've been busy during my random hiatus from blog-reading! I can't wait to check out "Eat It", which will also make me sing the Weird Al song. Love it.
Food gives me a boner.
