So WHY the change?

BouchonFor2 started as just a Sunday afternoon project to challenge myself. Unexpectedly, the blog grew into much more. It broadened into a documentary of my life, both cooking in the kitchen and eating around the world.

When I received 4 nominations for the foodbuzz awards, it dawned on me: people DO notice my little corner in the URLniverse. That’s when the struggle began. I knew my blog has expanded beyond the Bouchon project. I wanted a fresh start but didn’t want to disappoint my readers.

Funny enough, Carol Blymire emailed me to check up on my progress. I related honestly that Bouchon was no longer my priority and I needed a site that fully encompasses the multiple aspects of my culinary misadventures.

So here we are. A fresh start.

What’s different?

So far, nothing apart from the layout but I have many new recipes, videos, travel stories, and surprises up my sleeves. From time to time, I’ll even slip in a Bouchon or Ad Hoc experience ;)

I hope you’ll enjoy the changes and continue to follow my culinary misadventures.

Love always, Melody Fury

p.s. please send the glitches, typos, and suggestions my way… growl.

Hi Mel,

Good Luck on the new launch.

Just a quick issue I noticed, the RSS logo is partly covered by the Subscribe to email/Twitter/Facebook dialog box.

Mel, congratulations on the move! New site looks gorgeous! :)

BTW, added this site to my blogroll! :D

One little glitch- the banner, when you hover over it, it says “banner” shouldn’t it say “Gourmet Fury” instead?

Sorry for having to point that out! You’re awesome! :D
