Eat my own dogfood

I upgrade the site to Drupal 4.7.1. Knock on wood, it was mostly painless. Contact me if you notice anything acting too squirrelly here.

Hopefully the UI will be a little less confusing now. There are a few little improvements folks will see, but for the most part the site should look and feel the same.

Not too much baking on my part, of late. I did bake pizza last weekend:

as well as a porridge whole wheat bread that I was pleased with.

Oregon strawberries are finally in season, so we've been having excellent strawberry shortcake lately.

Just curious, Floyd. What is porridge whole wheat bread?

I had sample of a multi-grain cereal mix, the type of thing you are supposed to cook up like Cream of Wheat. Rather than cook it up and eat it straight, I soaked it in water overnight and then threw it in a whole wheat dough. It definitely changed the character and flavor of the loaf.

That was my interpretation of a porridge bread, though I gather that traditional porridge bread uses cooked porridge as a base. Looking around I'm finding a bunch of recipes from Nova Scotia and Ontario, so I gather it is bigger in Canada than it is here.
