{ a little of this and a little of that... }

While SHOPtalk won't officially launch until sometime in January, I've realized that I really need to spend some time trying out different ingredients to get this whole blogging thing juuuuust right. Nobody's handed down a magic recipe to follow...I'm just going with my gut and wingin' it with some good ole fashioned trial & error. So consider the next few weeks a 'soft launch' of sorts...please bear with me as I dig in and find the right mix. The result (I hope) will be something yummy for all to enjoy!
