I did it all by myself!

Published on by

Steve @Hounds and Other Stuff left a comment that my contact form wasn’t working. Sure enough, it was not. I am not stupid but I am also not a coder so it took me about 15 minutes to figure it out. But I did it! So if you’re in the neighborhood, or on the other

A host of issues

Published on by

Good morning! I am having some issues with the blog as it currently exists on the World Wide Webisphere. Kat has helped with some, most importantly suggesting that I need a more responsive hosting service. And so… Bigfoodetc.com is moving to a new host. As you know, I have many talents but tinkering around in

Really? I most decidedly do *not* like you.

Who the hell are you, anyway? So I guess WordPress has issues. These are just three of the dozen or so “likes” Bigfoodetc has gotten on random posts that I am quite certain– and admittedly based solely on their looks– do not interest the Likers.  Elle, bottom pic, thought “Our life’s succeeding stages” was pretty awesome. She’s

As I– a fallen blogger with five years & 3000 some odd posts– am attempting to get back in there, I have vowed to follow Gerard VanderLeun’s rule of blogging (for which I cannot find the link right now) and blog the hell out of everything for six months. But as I– fallen blogger that I am–

You’ll note I’m making some changes to the blog. They are not finished, so if you see something that looks off, it’s probably because I had to stop doing what I was doing and tend to Real Life. This will be sticky until I’m satisfied with the total package.

While I was away

I was in Texas. I think Mr. Big Food’s Dad should promote this blog, don’t you? We got a little bit of statistics and history. And we do like proper grammar. And manners. Given who my Father-In -Law is, I should have about four and one-half billion followers by the first of the year, right? That’s

“What?” “Ruff?” “Marica. Back On Line.” “Oh my!” “Ruff!” “So I take it you had some success fixing your clickedy clack machine.” “Indeed.” “Ruff?” “Well, do tell.” “It’s been an adventure.” “We know. We heard you swearing… .” “ruff.” “And I cannot thank Kat enough for all of her help.” “She is a marvelous young

  Though it has wonderfully artistic lines of fuschia running though it as I post it, this screen shot of my old desktop looked wonderfully white and bright and clear when I took it. This will not do. I just finished an interesting book about the 1930s but I can’t talk about it because my

I apologize for the silence.

I’ve been running on my backup iComputer and now, back on the Farm with its blazing fast internet connection, it is increasingly difficult to even stay on line for more than 10 minutes at a time on this old iThingy.

So while there has been oodles and oodles of blog-worthy stuff going on, I just haven’t had time.

The food has been excellent, by the way. Lots of things are getting done. Everyone’s working hard. The dogs are well. Tiger is going to get stepped on if he doesn’t find a new place to crash.

I am going to attempt to read some of this month’s crappy old book of the month and report back.

Blog Prob

UPDATE: Problems solved, I hope.   Suek has alerted me to the fact that something is wrong with comments, and with “contact.” I’m dealing with Farm stuff– cleaning soot, have to get dressed up and go to Starkville soon, must eat lunch!– but I’ll get on it ASAP. Unless of course Kat sees this and

Remind me later,

Published on by

when we have nothing to do– like late next January, that we should attempt to diagram these sentences: Hi there! I am so thrilled I found your blog. I’m really appreciating the hard work you put into your site and detailed information you provide. It’s simply generous of you to present freely precisely what a

“Wazzup, bee-a-ch Marica?”

“RRRUUFFF???” “Missy! I have had quite enough of this. You’ve been back-talking and sassing me all day and now this! Counter-culture gutter talk. Go get the Irish Spring.” “R.U.F.F.” “Oh my goodness, Marica. I’m just joking around. You seem in such a mood. I was just trying to get a rise out of you.” “Oh,

“Today is the 150th anniversary of Lincoln’s Second Inaugural Address… .” Posted at 2:18pm. See, Folks, those who look at Big Food, Big Garden, Big Life first thing in the morning have known this the better part of the day. Regular readers have known about Lincoln’s religiosity since February 12, 2015— the real anniversary of

I’m not quite sure what exactly y’all have been seeing the last few days but I’m pretty sure it’s not what I’ve been seeing. The photos should be properly oriented now. Thanks to suek for drawing the disorientation to my attention.

It *is* surprising!

The old blog at blogger is still active and I still get email notifications when comments have been posted. Anonymous has left a new comment: May I simply say what a relief to uncover someone who truly understands what they are discussing on the internet. You certainly realize how to bring a problem to light

Quick blog aside: Farm to Madison to Jackson (coffee at Cups!) to Farm to Starkville and back earlier today. PLUS! I downloaded a new statistics package. WooHoo. Lots of interesting and quasi-intelligent things on the schedule for this weekend. Stay tuned.

BLOG NOTE: The mobile version of Bigfood.etc. is up and running. It still needs some tweeking– I may or may not replace that orange!– but I think it’s very readable. Let me know if you have any problems viewing the blog on your mobile devise. I’m using the free and easy version of the plug-in WPtouch 3.

BLOG NOTE— Please excuse the formatting inconsistencies in the posts below. These are a result of importing Big Food, Big Garden, Big Life from a blogger platform to the WordPress platform. Wonderful Kat has put fixing this on her to-do list. Thanks, Kat!
