What happened to Yummy Lummy?

Regular readers will have noticed that all the content has been removed. Last year, I decided to put Yummy Lummy into hibernation. I concluded that maintaining a self-hosted blog was no longer worthwhile. The costs were too high for a simple food blog. Instead of exporting all the content to an XML file and importing it into WordPress.com, I deleted it entirely.

I’m uncertain about the future of Yummy Lummy. I plan to keep the domain name since I’ve grown attached to it, even though Meta has banned it. My interest in blogging has diminished. While cooking and eating still bring me joy, the simplicity of what I prepare no longer seems worth sharing. I deleted hundreds of posts and thousands of food photographs from Yummy Lummy (fourteen years of content). This process reminded me of how much my cooking had evolved. I can now cook effectively with just a couple of frying pans. I also use a Weber® grill and a slow/fast cooker.

Cooking and eating have become more straightforward as I primarily follow a low-carbohydrate diet (with some exceptions). My meals mainly consist of beef, lamb, pork, fish, and poultry. My weight has stabilised. I’m about the same size I was in the later years of high school. I’m also the same size as in the early years of medical school (1980s). I no longer experience irritable bowel syndrome, my cognitive ability has improved, and my sleep quality is better. I’m also eating two meals a day.

This approach to cooking and eating does have some drawbacks. For example, travelling for work requires planning and eating while away is more expensive.

Until next time. Happy eating. 😊
