I switched over to a newer version of Movable Type yesterday, so pardon what may have been an awkward transition. I’m still not certain if everything has been sorted out properly, and I think I lost the links to other blogs in the sidebar, but I’ll eventually get myself dusted off and running.

It’s a little odd, having grown accustomed to the former Movable Type system over the past several years, to suddenly begin using a new version. It’s like moving from one house to another — I’m looking for the blender and can’t figure out which cupboard it’s in. Much cursing is involved.

“Hard-core foodies are drooling over the prospect of something truly superlative from Spain, at least in price: a salt-cured ham costing about $2,100 per leg, or a cruel $160 per pound. It’s a price believed to make it the most expensive ham in the world.”
