Shortly after 8:00 am, the Kitchens lost their DSL service and it will not be restored until Wednesday, October 17th, at the earliest. In the interim, my access to WordPress, let alone the Internet, will be severely limited and painfully slow. This post took 45 minutes to prepare.
Thank you for your understanding.
See you again on the 17th,
Oh John! So sorry! Those of us in need of a Bartolini fix can always stroll through your kitchen of prior weeks. In the meantime, you keep the pot on and continue taking photos. We’ll wait patiently…wishing you luck and speed!
Ouch, John! I hope everything will be restored on the 17th and we will see you back here…
The marvels of modern technology…ugh.
I’ll miss you.
Oh what a bother John! I feel your pain – been there on a couple of occasions. Here’s hoping you are back up and running full steam on the 17th.

I feel your pain – take a break, we understand!
But…but…..it’s Wednesday!
What a righteous pain in the keester, John. I hate it when that happens. See you on the 17th.
Boo hoo! I hope there’s a silver lining somewhere in all this for you.
What a pain. See you on the other side, John. I guess you’ll have time to organize your pantry…
What a nightmare. Thank God for technology and the 21st Century. I’m sending this simultaneously by carrier pigeon . Tell me which gets to you first.
Sally pouts.
But she’ll be waiting….
AHK, my worst nightmare! I reluctantly updated my iPhone 4s to the new operating system and within one hour of doing so it went dead. I am usually the IT head in our house but for some reason I was at a loss to get it going. I plugged it into various cords and computers without luck. I felt totally isolated without my trusty iPhone for 2 hours until JT came home and turned it on (of course it worked for him!) I can only imagine how brutal dial-up is, I cannot believe that it was the way we used to access the net, not so long ago. Good luck John, speedy recovery to your service.
Just cook up a bunch of stuff and take pictures to show later. And write your stories in Word to copy. We will be waiting when you get back.
What about smoke signals? On second thoughts though ……
See you soon
Sorry! I can wait for the plum cobbler. You know what they say, the longer you wait the better it is when it comes. Or absence makes the heart grow fonder.
BE ENCOURAGED! BE BLESSED!
I hate that. How very annoying. Best of luck sorting out the issues and meanwhile, the rest of us will blog-on! xx
Freaking DSL.
How shocking! I hope you’ll be back sooner than advertised
Will miss having you around.
Ouch! Hang in there… Will miss you!
It happens. Your internet may have stopped but I’m sure the shopping and cooking won’t
Hang in there John! It may have stopped for now; but you have so many other delicious recipes to check out on your blog to keep us busy! See you soon!
Been there-done that. Take this time to do something that you have always wanted to do enjoy the freedom to just cook and not have to document. Take Care, BAM
Drattt!! It’s that Cable Guy!! See you next week.. I’m off to bed and pulling the covers up over my head.. going into withdrawal…
Living in the country myself, have gone thru’ similar – collective vibes will assuredly > your way
!
Oh how aggravating! Good luck John.
Ouch!
Uh oh my readership will be down if they know this fact! I have followers who really are Chicago John comment followers. They will all be wanting to know where you are?
One reader’s suggestion is to get an iPhone to be in touch at all times.
Oh, I’m sorry! I hope to see you back on track very soon, meanwhile go out and have some fun!
Come back, Shane! Come back!
Bummer. Use this opportunity to take a break.
Oh you poor guy! Considering you probably use your Internet for a lot more than blogging…ouch! i hope you don’t experience too many really rough bumps in the meantime….D
Ouch! What a bummer. Sorry that you have to endure this, and hope everything works out as quickly as possible.
Good luck getting everything back online! What a pain!!!!!
We’ll be patiently waiting until Oct. 17.
What a drag…but hope you are enjoying being unplugged for a while. We’ll all be tuned in on Oct. 17!
Roger wilco, look forward to your return. Over.
Hang in there. I’ll be glad to see you come back!
Can’t wait to see you back!
Come down and use mine, its got to be faster than that!! I MISS YOU!!! c
Just keep on thinking “really, what did we do B4 the interweb??”…I’ll be here when you return…m
Awful! But now it will give you extra time to come up with even more amazing recipes. See you on the 17th!
I hate when that happens! I’ll take pics and write a post on word then copy past to wordpress. Enjoy your time off!
Yikes !! I hope everything is working well and SOON John!
