Mourning

When I got home this afternoon, I did what I always do when I get home. I took off my shoes and sat down in front of my laptop and clicked on the little Internet Explorer icon to begin the routine. You know how you always have certain websites that you check whenever you get on a computer? Maybe in the same sort of order every time? Well I do. mail.nyu.edu is first, then www.gmail.com, then either www.craigslist.org or www.tastespotting.com. So this afternoon I went to tastespotting, which by the way is an amazing website. Or was. To my dismay, I discovered that tastespotting was shut down due to "recent legal complications". Sounds a little bit fishy, but nevertheless, I am completely devestated. I've probably checked that website everyday for hm.....8 or 9 months. I got some of my best recipes from tastespotting. It's unfortunate for everyone reading this who hasn't ever visited this glorious website because it's hard to understand exactly what it is. I guess people can submit food blog posts that have recipes or interesting food-related things, and it all shows up on this website. It's basically food porn. People apparently get really into food blogs and food photography and all that sort of stuff, so it's like a culmination of the best of all the blogs. It's like an endless internet cookbook....with great pictures. So....if I don't blog for the next few days (not that I've been good about doing it anyways), its because I'm going through tastespotting withdrawls. And frantically searching for a replacement.

R.I.P. www.tastespotting.com
