Drat! I wrote a whole post and seemed to disappear into who knows where! I will try again.....

I do like the colors and simplicity of the site...it goes well with the idea of Asian simplicity.

I like the content and your writing style very much...I will be back to visit!

I wasn't crazy about the archival information being on the left hand side rather than the usual right side...maybe because I am used to it the other way...I don't know, but it just didn't flow for me. My eyes naturally fell to the beginning of the blog and scanned to the right and I had to make the effort to move over to that column.

There was also a lot of white space in that column. I know you need some...but I thought the column was very wide, but the content was narrow and there was a lot of emptiness to the right of the archival information.

Now, this is just a point of view of what strikes me when I look at the site....I am not experienced as far as knowing what works from an official "tried and true" method of placement point of view.

Now I am going to have to go buy groceries...you have worked me up for some braised tofu and dumplings!
