I planned for this, the very first post of 2014, to be a lot different that what it turned out to be. I've been working on a recipe for four weeks and it is nearly ready to publish... yet something happened that distracted me from my culinary fine-tunings: I got an e-mail through the shop from a customer, there's nothing new there, I get plenty of them every week with queries about ingredient substitution, product availability, suggestions and plenty of thank yous.
