In order to save $33 a year in hosting, I’ve moved all of my sites to a new server(why pay for infinite space when you only use 7 GB?). If I charged myself by the hour, this transfer would have cost more than the savings. Not worth it. One example: my email might not work. However, I know I’ll appreciate it when the next bill comes around.
I’m slowly returning things back to working order, there are still some broken things. This has definitely been a learning process. I learned from my mistakes transferring THIS site, and did a much better job with my Kenny Chronicles comics site. Over half the battle is learning a new host’s control panel. GoDaddy’s control panel tries to sell you domains every chance it gets. Not annoying, but makes me wonder where their other priorities(like hosting) sit.

Future of this site:
I really don’t know how often comics and pictures will be posted here. It became so much of a mirror of KennyChronicles.com that I’ve decided to stop mirroring the comics over here, especially with the move to twice a week. If you want more Kenny Chronicles, go to the site. Please note that the comic is rated PG-13. Since all of my comiking time has been spent on the Kenny Chronicles, you’ll likely only see single pictures, with the very occasional non-Kenny comic, on this site. Oh, and the occasional Culinary Wut Wut blog entry. I still need to blog about oat burgers. Thems are good.

I will be getting the gallery of Toonfest 2007 up within a month. I put it off for a long time, and I’m now realizing how much work it’ll be. In taking pictures, I’d shoot first and ask questions later so I don’t miss anything. Therefore, lots of editing to be done.

Toonfest 2008 is coming on September 19-20, and I will be ready. I make no promises, but I hope to have that gallery up within a few weeks after Toonfest. One cartoonist showing up who’s not listed on the site is Tom Richmond, a cartoonist for MAD Magazine. He won’t be talking at the symposium, he’ll just be enjoying the festivities, and having some original MAD artwork in the gallery as usual. My art will be there too.

Today I’m trying palak paneer, a dish from India described on the box as “Curried spinach and cottage cheese cooked to perfection in a mild sauce.” I found this at Fox Farm Foods in Joplin, Missouri. It’s made by Ashoka, and takes 1-2 minutes to heat up in the microwave.
According to the Wikipedia entry, it’s often served with a lassi, which is a sweet milk drink from the Punjab region of India. I would SOOOOOO love to have a mango lassi with this. If you live around an Indian restaurant(not Native American, but Indian), see if they have lassis, and drink up.

The box says that it contains all natural ingredients and is suitable for vegetarians, which is nice. I like to eat healthy. Here’s what it looks like garnished with a chicken chunk from our local Charlie’s Chicken:

Now, on to eating it. The paneer is very similar to spinach dip. In fact, next thing I did after tasting just the paneer, was dip my chicken into it. It’s very good like that, too. Just like spinach dip, the spinach doesn’t come across as yucky as you might expect. In fact, did you notice the word “curried” in the description? Anytime you see “curry” or a variation thereof, that means “spicy”. Not in the sense of jalapeno or pepper spicy, but with things like ginger, green chilli and cumin. Indian spices. I don’t like spicy foods, but I can tolerate a small amount of it. The spiciness was just enough to give it flavor, and cause me to reach for my water a few times. The chicken I added has its own spices, and blends nicely with it. You can also try chips in this, since it’s so similar to spinach dip.
There are also large chunks of “Indian cottage cheese”. Tastes like mozzarella when I get a really large chunk of it. At first I thought they were potatoes, with how they’re cut. Cheese is always a good addition to spinach.

I give this palak paneer two thumbs up. It’s really not a weird dish, if you’ve tried spinach dip before. I do recommend adding something like chicken to it, though, to vary the taste a little, and in my case to dull the spiciness.

What crazy ideas might Jim have in his head? Maybe he’s already stretching the creative muscles under a pen name? He most likely wouldn’t use his real name on a non-Garfield comic. What if it’s a pretty vulgar comic?

If he’s creating a much different comic somewhere, I want to see it.
