I've never done an off-topic post, but my dad has a cooking blog, and I really like it.
You have to understand: he never used to cook, and he certainly never used to blog. But I should have seen it coming when, several weeks ago, he E-mailed me: "Anne: what is a blog, and what is the derivation of the word?"
Pretty soon he had one. He calls it Cooking Tools; It's a compilation of family recipes and accompanying stories. I can vouch for the recipes, and I love the stories -- particularly the one I'm in, where he tells the tale of how, in his seventies, he learned to cook.
You'll make my dad very happy if you visit his blog. It might change your life too; next thing you know, you'll be telling your dad what a blog is.
