So, my Schweddy Balls recipe was published last week and there were and still are a bunch of technical difficulties.

Because of my energy (or lack thereof on some days), I sometimes need to use different devices to write these posts. Then, I have to switch partway through, go back to change something, or add pictures. Well, last week, I went into my Schweddy Balls recipe to find that there were no ingredients, introduction, and some of the directions were missing. So, I had to rewrite everything. Oh, and did I mention that this was 5 minutes before the post was supposed to be published? So, I reverted it to draft and typed it all again.

Since then, I have come up with some easier ways to do the easier part of the recipe and, low and behold, it’s all gone again. It shows on the website (at least it does for me), but I can’t edit any of it because it apparently doesn’t exist.

So, looking back, there are two possibilities:

1. In WordPress, you aren’t supposed to write on two different devices. This doesn’t seem likely because so many people probably use several devices to write, but it is possible. In fact, I have done this on my other blog in the past.
2. When writing, don’t switch from New Block Editor to the Classic Editor because you’ll lose everything for some reason. I think this is more likely the culprit.

If any of you have any idea of how to make sure this doesn’t happen again, please let me know. In the meantime, I will focus on number 2 and not switch between the two. I will either write in the New Block Editor or the Classic Editor. I’m more used to the Classic Editor because I started blogging on WordPress in 2014 and they switched to the New Block Editor right after or around the time that I got sick and didn’t post much anymore. But I do like some of the functions of it. Right now, I’m writing in the Classic because I’m pissed.

Now that the bitching is out of the way, here’s what’s going on this week.

What I have cooked this week

I cooked three things this week in two meals.

I haven’t perfected the first one yet, but the next two were perfect on their first go-around and I will be posting them in the next few weeks. Their names

• Fundido Sauce over Enchisagna (a several layered enchilada, which basically makes it like an enchilada lasagna)
• Slow Cooker Taco Cream Corn
• Korean Fried Spaghetti Noodles (not perfected yet)

Idea for the Blog

I have a few recipes that I know are really good, so I am trying to figure out if I should be posting more than 2 recipes a week. I know that I will run out of the old recipes in a few weeks, which is why I’m kind of concerned about doing that. The thing I’m thinking is keep doing the minitips (because that is helpful to chronic spoonie cooks and new cooks alike), but post a recipe on that day as well to be published at the same time and use the technique that was discussed in the minitip (if applicable). So, if I do a post about dicing onions, I have a recipe that uses diced onions and you can apply the minitip to it. I might switch the recipes sometimes to share recipes that others have created that taste amazing without me having to do anything.

The other option is to just post as I write them, so there will be no schedule. There may be days or weeks in between posts. I don’t think that’s a great idea because I think having a set schedule might be better.

What do you think? Should I publish

• 2 recipes, 2 minitips, and the State of the Kitchen Address each week or
• 4 recipes, 2 minitips each week, and the State of the Kitchen Address each week or
• Publish after I perfect a recipe even if there are other things scheduled for that day?
