LeFou, I'm afraid I've been thinking....

... a dangerous pastime, I know....

Let me run this by y'all for feedback. (Nearest local Booby-hatch is called Pine Rest, if you feel the need to incite an intervention).

Having recently been absolved of one set of obligations, I (naturally) immediately started noodling on another that I had shelved for lack of time.

Factors:

I enjoy baking, cooking, and general domesticity.

I also enjoy the challenge of web design.

I have a thing for the Vintage Aesthetic (not as in 70's-80's Vintage - More early to mid 20th century)

I'm contemplating setting up a new and separate blog. In which, Winnie-the-Pooh shall challenge herself to convert Vintage recipes for Gluten-Free kiddos. And possibly also review GF cookbooks, mixes, and other products.

Working title of "Gluten Free Goes Vintage," (subject to change if I come up with something better).

In part, this is because part of what is most difficult about GF cooking is that so many modern recipes are either trendy (I'm just not a Goat cheese/raddichio/pomegranate sort of girl), or "semi-homemade" and fraught with convenience products that are a minefield of hidden gluten. Whereas older recipes are usually much more "from scratch" - and therefore easier to safely convert. Plus - kids like comfort foods.

And part because I love any excuse to collect Vintage recipe books.

Think of it as an online personal recipe repository that's made to be sensible for other people to look through.

I'd also like it to be pretty. So I'm looking for a free/very low cost method that's REALLY customizable. I haven't monkeyed with Blogger in ages. Not sure if it allows uploading of custom templates.

Advice? Suggestions? Ideas?
