Hey, everybody. I just wanted to stop in and let all of you know how we’re doing here since it may be a little weird to see that last post and then nothing for a week.
Michelle is going through a bit of a rough time at the moment, as you can all tell by now. She’s been through worse and she’ll pull through this just fine, it’s just shitty while she’s stuck in the middle of it. Luckily she has the support of a great doctor, terrific family and wonderful friends – both in real life and online – to help get through it all. All your comments in the other post mean a lot to both of us. It’s amazing to think that people she’s never met would care so much about her.
Unfortunately, she’s not much into cooking or blogging right now. So just hang tight and she’ll return soon. And if I ever figure out how to upload photos to this website I’ll post pictures of the blintz casserole I made a few days ago. Even my Grandma Ruth loved it. (“It’s better than chocolate cake!”)
And as far as our financial state is concerned, don’t worry. It isn’t nearly as bad as she made it seem. We’re doing fine. But don’t let that stop you from sending us money – preferably cash in unmarked envelopes.
In all seriousness, we both want to thank you all for your support, whether you’ve posted comments, sent emails, or just continued to read the site. You’re all awesome.

Thinking of you both. I hope Michelle starts to feel better soon. Look forward to when she is back to herself again, and hoping that that time comes as quickly and as easily as it can
thanks for the update. i certainly miss the snarky-goodness of michelle’s post. also been through family member rough times and know the focus needs to be on getting healthy in all ways. here’s to that happening right quick.
Thank you for the update, Brian. I’m so thankful that Michelle has you–you are so understanding of what she’s going through, and very supportive. So many people aren’t.
Still thinking of you guys–take care. I’m not going anywhere, so I’ll be here when Michelle gets back, or you figure out uploading photos–whichever comes first.
Thanks Brian for the update. Tell Michelle that we are all thinking of her and she isn’t alone.
Thanks for the update Brian. My blogging life was enriched from the first time Michelle ever posted on my blog and alerted me to this site. I am sending as many good wishes as I can, and I would never, ever expect her to cook or blog if she didn’t feel like it. She’s an amazing person and she deserves as much time to herself as she can if she needs it!
I’m so sorry to hear that Michelle is going through a difficult time… she is so awesome and funny and cool, and I’m glad that all the comments on this site are reminding her of that. You da bomb, Michelle!! Hang in there, homey!
I hope this is a short dip and she is feeling better soon. Your blintzes sound delicious. Recipe?
Good to hear that things are moving along and you guys are working it out.Hang in there.
Thanks for the update. Sending good thoughts your way.
Thanks, Brian. Please do update us whenever you can– I am hoping this stormcloud will pass very quickly.
Go Brian!
You are so sweet! I hope that Michelle feels better soon, we certainly miss her in the blogosphere.
Thanks for the update, Brian. Michelle has been in my thoughts, you both have. We’ll be here when she’s ready. In the mean time, focus on getting better! Btw? All the cash that comes in unmarked envelopes is from me, k? LMFAO
Thanks for the update. Hang tough, Michelle! We all miss you and hope you’re back to your old self soon. I’ll try to up the cursing quotient in my posts in your honor.
Thank you for the update. I clicked on the link to this site and was worried that the same post would appear. And again, don’t worry; we’ll all still be here when she’s ready to come back.
I was wondering how Michelle was doing/feeling. I hope things are better soon. I’m thinking about her. We’ll be here ready to read when she’s ready to post again.
This is totally a ploy to get more people to comment, isn’t it. What, you couldn’t give away some jars of preserves or a fucking cookbook? Sheesh, what some people won’t do for a little attention.
(I haven’t taken it too far, have I? I mean, the girl still needs to laugh. One time I told a guy with esophogeal cancer that he was looking really trim and asked him if he’d been working out. Not that this is the same at all.)
Thanks for the update Brian!
Sending warm thoughts your way. I hope Michelle is feeling better soon.
We miss her! She is lucky to have you and we look forward to her return.
Aren’t food bloggers the best??? It never fails to amaze me. Get better Michelle and Brian your the best!
