The Gothic Gourmet Blog is back on Blogger. It's return is due in large part to Blogger not supporting ftp publishing, but really the posting problems have been going on for years. It is my hope, my great, deep hope that this move back to the source will resolve this problem.
While I'm happy to be back, the unfortunate truth is that many of the posts have dropped out, as well as the pages with recipes and the photo gallery. Well, the mise en place is set for starting anew.
I have several projects happening at this time, including a microbudget feature that I will start filming once the funding comes together. ScriptFrenzy April resulted in an exciting and refreshing script that I've always had in me and always was waiting to let out.
Join me on my Beverly Van Pelt public Facebook page. It's easy! www.facebook.com/gothicgourmet

The Gothic Gourmet on Myspace is my first True "Social Networking" Love though I am disgruntled with its continuing migration into a Facebook clone. www.myspace.com/gothigourmet
gothicgourmet.podomatic.com is the origin of The Gothic Gourmet Podcasts.
I will be featured in the July/August Issue of CultGoddessMagazine.com. The theme is WOMEN IN CHARGE! Indeed! www.CultGoddessMagazine.com

SunnySideoftheGraveyard.com is on the Facebook. Yes, it is. www.facebook.com/pages/Monterey-CA/Sunny-Side-of-the-Graveyard/6544058929
I am currently posting on Women of the League Bloggers. This is a side project of The League of Extraordinary Paranormal Women and ParaWomen SCREAM Radio. My posts are reflections on the “Paranormal in Real Estate”. http://www.theleagueofextraordinarywomenofparanormalandhorror.com/2010/05/in-world-of-darkness-and-hope.html
Finally, I am moving the GothicGourmet.com and BeverlyVanPelt.com domains to a new host. Sadly this means that I've lost my subscribers, rss feeds, etc. Once these pages are up and running I will be sure to post it here and on the Social Networking sites.
Well, until next time…
From the Sunny Side of the Graveyard,

THE RAIN COMETH!
It's a wonderous thing, the rain, for it gives life-affirming nourishment to the soon to imerge signs of Spring, our winter-green hills, and the water tables that sustain us through the year. So often one hears the complaints that, "Oh, I wish it would stop raining." and I understand that, especially when the rain is every day, or when it is accompanied by stormy weather. Yet, I always feel grateful when the wet-stuff comes down.
I suppose part of that is living in Monterey County in California. Since I was a young child I've heard the long-echoed call to "conserve water because we're in a drought" mantra. That prevailing thought used to sit heavily in my head like the weight of guilt when you don't eat all of the food on your plate. Somehow, we weren't to complain because we needed rain so badly.
And so, I also remember kneeling at the front window of my childhood home, chin on the sill, watching fat raindrops plop on the walk, steadily, softly, hypnotically. I didn't know it at the time but this was my meditiation; my retreat from the many scripts I had rolling through my head. Those quiet moments held something more for me. They were visually relaxing. Do you know what I mean? The constancy of the rain juxtaposed with the brevity of the drops meant that you saw it, it was gone, it was still present, but was no longer available to study before the next was falling nearby.
I could comment long and steady (like the rain) on all of those reflective moments that "just were" on wet days. Even now, at the first circles of water on the driveway, I smile and make my way out to feel the light but sure thumps on my head as christened by the rain. I throw my head back hoping for sacred drops to land on my eye lids as I stand as one with nature.
Ahhhhh! So in honor of the glorious RAIN SunnySideoftheGraveyard.com is having a sale on Rainboots and Umbrellas! Supplies are limited so hurry!
What are your stories of rain? Feel free to comment. I love all of the wonderful correspondence you send.

IT'S MONDAY! O, GLORIOUS DAY!
Well, it's been all about the music today! Started with Aerosmith, AC/DC, and Twisted Sister, now tonight is all about MOONSPELL and Rammstein!
I'm currently reading "Witches, Werewolves, and Fairies", a book translated from French. Interesting historical references like St. Augustine's WEREWOLF observations. It's my research for a story I'm writing.
Tomorrow, ParaWomen SCREAM Radio ventures into TV on LiveParanormal. It's a live WebCam Broadcast that we call ParaWomen SCREAM TV.
