With Growth Comes Change
I’ve changed! With the one-year birthday of Clumsy Cook coming up, I decided to get a new look—and a new NAME! Over this past year of cooking, studying, and blogging, I’ve learned so much about food that I simply don’t feel clumsy anymore. Now, I won’t promise that I still do get the here-and-there burned fingers or ruined recipes, but all-in-all I’ve become so confident in the kitchen that it feels like I’m misleading you with my name.
So I’d like to introduce the new name—Caviar and Codfish. To me, this name sums up me. I’m a Gemini, which means I can have dueling personality traits. One of them is my love of things fancy and my love of down-home country-casual. I feel this relates to my food—as one day I’ll be making truffled potatoes and the next will be meatballs. I love it all equally. And the name—just say it—Caaa-veee-arhh and codfish. The caviar rolls off your tongue and, well, codfish is best said gruffly, with your nose all scrunched up. So there it is, hello and welcome to caviar and codfish!!

Amanda, Ann, Nicole– THANK YOU SO MUCH! I’m really excited about the switch, and while I’m still working out a few kinks in the layout, I like it so far! :D

Gotcha changed over at my place. “codfish is best said gruffly, with your nose all scrunched up” … so, you’re turning into the Gorton’s fisherman? ;-) The new home looks great!

Awesome site name and clean design. Congrats!

Its still the C-C blog :)
It looks like your old feed still works — do we need to do anything special to stay subscribed?
February 12th, 2008 at 10:31 pm
I was so excited when I thought of the name and could keep my C-C initials!
The subscription should work, though you could resubscribe to me to be safe (I probably won’t keep the domain name clumsy cook forever but I still have it now and redirect everyone to the new name.)

Very nice new site!

Woohoo! Congrats! I love the new name, but I think you should have called yourself “Alone In The Kitchen, Laughing Hysterically At Talking Fish Heads.”
But then again, that’s kind of a mouthful ;-)
Congrats on the blogaversary and the new look. Woowoo!

Lovely name – great rebranding.. Though i never thought you clumsy with your former name – you had such lovely dishes and things. Can’t wait to read your new recipes. :)

What, you don’t eat the hearts of men who eat scotch bonnet peppers for breakfast??? I’m shocked, and a little disappointed. Love the new layout, btw. I’ve also tagged you in a meme over at my blog!

Thank you everyone!
Ann- I would soo call it that, but it would be way too much to type when commenting on everyone’s blogs!
radish- thanks for reading from the beginning! I look forward to a new post from you! ;)
