Good Food, Good Meat, Good God, Let’s Eat!

During the recent Hurricane Milton, I started looking over the many posts in this blog. There was one thing that seemed to stick out the most to me. The recipe and kitchen tip posts seemed to be out of place.

I started this blog because I wanted to share my opinion on the many books I’ve read. This is why I named the blog “Book Reviews by the Reluctant Retiree.” A name like that isn’t exactly going to encourage people looking for recipes or kitchen tips to take a look.

So, starting today, I’ve begun a new blog. Its focus is on cooking and recipes. I hope all of you who are looking for these will follow me there.
