In the spirit of Thanksgiving (and mostly because I was home alone until 4 pm on that day and had two pumpkins lying around),
I attempted my first pumpkin pie – from scratch! Delicious idea, yes. Delicious result, yes. Happy process? Not at all.
Being new to pumpkin-cooking, I naturally googled how best to get 
to become 
The internet told me I could either cut and peel the pumpkin and then boil it for 25 minutes, OR I could halve and bake it for one hour and then scoop out the pulp.
The blog has been running really slow the past few weeks, so I have moved the blog to new servers (same host, different physical machines). The site now runs on separate Apache and MySQL servers (as opposed to both running on the same server). Both machines are pretty much brand new as well. So far the server has had much better performance overall.
We also upgraded WordPress to the latest version. Version 2.6.4 apparently had a serious exploit, which is fixed with 2.6.5 which we are now running.
The comments section is also completely fixed. There was an issue with the theme itself, which was fixed by copying the comments code from the default WordPress them and changing a couple of lines of code so that graphically the page looked the same. So now we can actually reply to your comments.
Expect more regular food updates as well!

Looks like there is a problem with posting comments that happened after I upgraded WordPress to the latest version. It appears to be something to do with the sessions being written but I am not sure yet.
I am working on it, but for now if you have something pressing to ask us you can send an email cory AT ancfoodblog DOT com or ashley AT ancfoodblog DOT com.
Thanks!
