Hiatus
The Unreal Meal has been on a bit of a hiatus these last few months. It’s not that I haven’t been cooking (I do that nearly every night), it’s that I tend to get caught up a bit in minutiae and lose focus sometimes.
For instance, I cook things that are really yummy and awesome, but I forget to write down what I’ve done so that I can post here. Or I get that much done, but I forget to take pictures until I’m halfway through scarfing things down, and I get mad that I have no proof of deliciousness. Or I take pictures but they don’t look nearly the way that I envision them in my mind’s eye, because I’m only a mediocre photographer with no lighting equipment and no real knowledge of how to adjust the settings to make things look awesome. Woe is me sometimes (though if that’s the least of my problems, my life is pretty good!).
Anyway, I will return soon because quite frankly, it’s hard to call oneself a food blogger when one doesn’t write about food, right? Stay tuned for more!
Also, if someone knows of a good WordPress plugin to combat spam/trackback spam, I would appreciate some insight. I get craploads of comments posted from spammers and I want to be able to avoid that.
The Unreal Meal is a budding food project that is dedicated to making every meal an unreal one, whether it be crafted from the most humble or the most exotic ingredients.
Akismet is a fantastic plugin to combat all sorts of spam. You need a wordpress key, but that is easily gotten by signing up for a wordpress account. If there is a backlog, let me know and you can use mine.
1I got it, got one, and it’s in and running, woo! Before today, I literally had over 500 spam comments. It was nearly giving me hives!
2OMG, I can’t imagine not using Akismet. Your life must be literally a million times better now.
3It’s definitely a million times better now. Also, holy crap it’s been twelve billion years since we’ve been in touch, which is a bit of a travesty! I’m a terrible friend who had no idea about d4d, and I hope you don’t judge me (too horribly) for that!
