Savour Fare is now The Domestic Front!

Hey guys – I’m back with a pretty big announcement –  Savour Fare is now the Domestic Front!  Please update your bookmarks and links.

When I chose a name for this blog five and a half years ago, I knew nothing about naming things for the web.  I liked the pun!  I liked the English spelling of savoury!  Hyphens are AOK.  Now, several years later, the name that I once loved has become uncomfortable.  First, the topics I want to write about have expanded far beyond the original pure food blog I envisioned (though don’t worry – there will still be plenty of food), so the references to Savouring Fare seemed restrictive.  Second, even my closest friends can’t freaking remember how to spell my website’s name  – how am I supposed to expect the rest of the world to do it?

Why the Domestic Front?  I can’t get away from puns, it seems (daughter of two English professors – it’s in my blood!)  Seriously – I have a day job where I go to work and solve big problems and offer very smart advice and draft very long documents – I’m not going to write about that.  This is about the other front in my life – the family, the home, the kitchen, the library – life on the domestic front.  Also, I think that as food websites have proliferated, the very pretty, perfectly styled, extremely curated food blog is everywhere.  I wanted this to be a place where reality has a place, too.  Where I can talk about how my kids wouldn’t touch a cute bento box with a ten foot pole, how house decorating projects take literally years, how yes, we eat delicious and beautiful organic food cooked from scratch, but sometimes we have fish sticks.  Sometimes daily life does feel like a battle, and we must marshal our resources on the domestic front and fight the good fight.

The transition will (hopefully) happen over the next few weeks – the internal links have been updated, and I’m slowly making changes to social media accounts as well.  In the meantime, thanks for sticking around through change and growth (and a summer vacation that ended up being a little longer than I intended.)

xoxo, Kate
