As will be abundantly obvious, this was recorded during the Phoenician "summer" while temperatures were stifling and air conditioning was not optional. Consider this episode an ultimate lure to take the grill out and recapture the final taste of summer before fall and winter take a firm grip... even if you need to wear your mittens.

As you might have noticed, the April 1 launch date has come and gone. Life has been getting in my way a little too much recently, and the proposed show has suffered. Kris and I did re-record the segments for the launch, as the dry-run was exactly that: pretty dry.

I am leaving my current employer on the 9th of May and starting with a new one on the 14th. I purposefully left myself two extra days off to put some undistracted effort into Food Geeking and some other FarPoint shows. In particular, I need to get the nice podcasting interfaces from Podpress working, and a few other surprises Kris and I have discussed that are more iTunes specific.

If everything goes well during the crunch-time development days next week, we should launch very soon after that. I will go out on a limb and say that June 1st will be the latest launch date. Every effort will be made to launch as close to the 14th of May as possible.

I would also like to extend a thanks to everybody who has emailed and posted here with offers to help, I know I have been remiss in responding. I will be following up via email with everybody who has offered in the next couple of weeks as my schedule loosens up and more time becomes available.

Today was going to be the launch date of the first Food Geeking podcast. Early this afternoon, our good friend Joe Murphy lost his fight against cancer. Kris and I have decided to postpone the launch of the podcast out of respect for Joe, his family and his many, many friends.

Joe was a familiar voice to listeners of The Kick Ass Mystic Ninjas, The Dragon Page: Cover to Cover, Slice of Sci-Fi, and Michael and Evo's Wingin' It. His voice, intelligence, warmth and wit has touched many lives throughout the years both in the studio and via the podcasts in which he participated. Joe will be sorely missed.

Kris and I ask that Joe be remembered not through mourning, but through a toast. While Joe is not here to hoist a tankard with us, his legacy endures in all of us. Please join us in raising a glass in tribute to a rare individual and fine friend: Joe Murphy.

If you have the inclination and means, please visit The Joe Murphy Memorial Fund to leave a donation.

As promised on this weeks Wingin' It Voicemail show, we have a recipe to post.

A couple of shows back, Kris brought in Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Quick-bread. At the time, I could not think of any pumpkin-flavored dish that I had enjoyed, so I tasted this one with a little trepidation and was really surprised. The flavor of the pumpkin was fairly reserved, not overpowering like a pumpkin pie. The chocolate chips and nuts gave a little sweet punch to an otherwise mildly sweetened bread. All in all, I really liked it.

As Kris and I work more on the first show (or zero-eth, or minus eighteenth), there might be more tidbits, recipies or information showing up here, so stay tuned!

The power of Drupal's categorization engine was a big reason for choosing it to run Food Geeking. Here's the breakdown of all of the various feeds and sub-feeds available.

Feeds

• The Front-Page Feed contains all stories and content published to the front page of the site, including all of the shows. At various times, recipes, cooking-related articles, and other miscellany might appear.
  • The Podcast Feed gives you the Podcasts, just the Podcasts and nothing but the Podcasts. Recipes or other content, front-page or not, will not show up.
• The Recipes Feed will give you all of the culinary goodness that we publish.
  • The Featured Recipes Feed contains only recipes that were featured as part of a Food Geeking Podcast.
  • The Wingin' It Recipes Feed contains only recipes that were part of a Wingin' It show.

More feeds will probably appear here in the near future.
