If you were anywhere near your Reader or email around 5:30 a.m. (EST) this morning, and saw all the crazy recipe posts, you will have thought my site was hacked. Thank you to everyone who reached out to me to make sure things were all right. (I’m looking at you, Jo, Jess, and Sharon!)
Fortunately, there was no hacking of Booomcha. You see, I was innocently playing with my theme, wishing it looked clean and minimal like I sometimes want. Well, what could be the harm of importing a demo to get me started in the right direction?
Everything.
Everything is wrong with that.
When I imported the demo, it thought I didn’t have any content, so to get me started, it automatically posted a bunch of fake posts to show me how they should look.
They did look nice, didn’t they? Needless to say, if you know me well, I do not cook, and trust me, you don’t want me to. Mr. Booomcha and I have a gourmet range that takes up more space than it should, and I don’t even know how to turn it on. lol (Mr. Booomcha is a wonderful chef, though!)
So, if you see recipe posts from me, either I am indeed hacked, or I’ve done something goofy.
Luckily, today, it was goofy.
My deepest apologies for the inconvenience of having to wade through my error. I hope you have a lovely day, thank you for understanding.

I so commiserate with you over this. We bloggers are supposed to use a ‘sandbox’ to make changes which is way outside my comfort zone so I remained scared fitless that I will do what you just did. Thank you!
LOL Thank you, Jacqui. Hopefully, this doesn’t happen again. 😀
HUGS HUGS HUGS HUGS .. Not an issue at all .. no apologies necessary! <3
Thank you so much, Lisa. ❤ I felt like such a goontar. 😀 Hugs right back at ya’. xo
Oh my! I just checked my emails and immediately went to your site to check what was going on! I’m glad it was just a demo… 😅
Thank you so much ❤ Glad you could make it to the party! Although, I’m sorry for being such a rude host. LOLOL I can’t believe I did that. 😀
Bahahahaha “Mr. Booomcha!” I think that is his new name LOL. The theme does look nice and clean, I have to admit! I even like the layout of the homepage. 😀
LOL! I couldn’t resist calling him that! 😀 😀 Yes, please call him that. lololol I’m so glad you like it. I really missed having something simpler. I was hoping you’d like it. 😀
The food pictured in “your” posts looked yummi – but still, it didn’t seem quite like you to spam twitter like that 😀 Glad everything is okay!
Thank you so much. ❤ If only I really could cook like that, right? lol I’m glad you knew I would never do that on purpose. haha 😀
Waaa haaa haaaa! I thought you had one cup of coffee too much and had a posting binge. Since I read Latin like a Greek Philosopher at the library, I was shocked by your command of this language of science. Then I noticed each story was the same just a different picture. At this point, I thought you might have gotten the CBD oil mixed up with the spiced coffee creamer. Still, your Latin was impeccable. I was totally jealous. 😂. No harm, no foul. How could you have known you were falling prey to an evil WP bug 🕷? I enjoyed it and it made my day, so thanks Kymber. 🌞
LOL I’m so glad we think alike. Although, I’m afraid I have no mastery of Latin. I think I’ll mix the CBD oil with my spiced coffee creamer now just for good measure. 😀
Wooo hooo! You gotta tell me if your coffee experience improves dramatically. 😜☕️
I bet you already know the answer to that. hahahaha 😀
As a matter of fact, Since great INFJ minds think alike, yeppir buddy, I have a good idea how great that coffee is. 😁
LOL I knew you would know. 😀
Now I have to try it. 😉
LOL 😀 Don’t tell anyone I encouraged that. haha Shhh….
I’ll never tell. They will think I thought that up all by myself and that will scare them even more. Muwaaa haaaa haaaaa 🧛🏻♂️
I think you did make it up. hahaha 😀
Oh gosh! My line between reality and make believe has faded. I better repaint that rascal before something weird happens 🤭 😆
LOL Mine might have faded before yours, I’m no sure. 😀
Hee heee! Well, it is more fun this way. 😁
I must agree with that. 😀
It’s because we are totally cool that way 😎😎😸
Right on! 😀
✌🏻Right On! Write On! ✊🏼
Yes! Exactly! 😀 😀
Here is what your post said. “No football element casino. In the cartoon volleyball propaganda, and the Bureau for the weekend. Till financing nutrition convenience. Not of the life he wishes to have the lakes. The pain of the ends of the protein. Microwave headlines but clinical vehicles skirt. Mauris than a smile or a gate leakage. Propaganda Performance land vehicles chocolate.” I could tell it was a recipe in free verse poetry. Very ingenious, I thought. 🙃🙂. It looks a lot like what my autocorrect AI does to my text messages on my iPhone.
Wow! I had no idea I was capable of such marked intelligence. Thank you for translating. Think what I could do if I actually studied Latin. lol 😀
I bet if you studied Latin Kymber, you could be a formidable scientist. Everytime you saw something interesting you could point to it and say, “Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur.” All your friends will think you speak French and want you to go with them to Paris for a vacation. Cesare won’t say a word of the truth because he knows he’ll get to go too. 😎😺
I did have straight A’s in my college science classes with chemistry being my favorite. I can see myself now in a lab coat and safety glasses, lighting Bunsen burners and laughing maniacally as I melted gummy bears over the flame (they scream when you do that, you know, true story). The things I could do! LOL It’s a good thing Cesare keeps me in check, don’t you think? 😀
Waaa haaaa haaaaaa! Wooo Oh, now that is about as awesome as anyone can ever hope to be. I had a vivid visual image of you roasting screaming gummy bears over blue flame in full science lab regalia. Next time I go on an overnight hike, I’m going to try that and freak out everybody in camp. Muwaaa haaa haaaa! Nobody can do a maniacal laugh like we can. I am sooooo down for this. I bet Cesare has to shake his head and just go take a nap to avoid thinking too much about what might happen next. 😂😂😾
LOL! I can’t wait to hear your gummy bear stories around the campfire! haha I’m sure your’e right, and that’s why Cesare spends so much time napping.
Poor Cesare. His whiskers are going to go grey long before he becomes an old cat.
LOLOL I think I saw a grey one. 😀 😀 He’s in denial though.
Waaa haaa haaa! Me too. My beard turned white and I shaved that rascal off. The nerve! Beards should never turn white while the mental age is less than 30 years.
I totally agree!! 😀
I feel better now after that outta control moment. 🤪
LOL! 😀
😆
I really believed, you liked cooking. The pictures looked tasty but I failed with the text. 🙂
I checked, if I could see your stories and it looked ok.
So, I thought it was a mistake. I’m glad you could solve it.
LOL Thank you so much. I had an interest in cooking once. I failed with the text, too. lol
I’m glad you’re so understanding. ❤
That’s what we’re here for…we all have those absolutely crazy days! <3 Hugs! xx
LOL You’re right about that. 😀 ❤ Hugs! xo
Thanks for the update. Glad to hear all is ok with you… <3
Thank you so much, Bette. I’m glad no one is angry. haha ❤
Have an awesome week, Kymber! <3
Thank you, Bette, you, too! ❤
I’m so happy. I was worried.
Thank you, Audrey. ❤ I can see why you were concerned. Luckily, it was just me being goofy.
Of course you’re forgiven. <3 I saw all those notifications this morning and was like… "Okaaaay" she must be in the mood to cook! LOL! 😂But they were in another language so I didn't pay them any mind, sorry about that. Glad your site wasn't hacked.
Thank you so much, Em. ❤ I’m glad you’re not furious with me. lol If cooking is involved, it ain’t me. hahaha
Furious? Heavens no! It was totally fine. <3
Thank you. I’m so glad. ❤
Whew! I’m glad everything is OK. The titles and pictures looked really great, and I was getting hungry, but I knew something wasn’t right. So glad it was just Ms. Goofy and not some nasty Ruth Marx (remember, The Net?) playing games with you.
Thank you, Sharon. Everything is fine except I’m a little embarrassed and irritated it happened. You were getting hungry. LOLOL Yeah, just blame it on Ms. Goofy, she’s usually the culprit. hahahaha
Just glad you weren’t hacked! I was in a meeting checking my email and I started to see all those pour through and got worried!
LOL Thank you, Kate. I can see why you were concerned. What a crazy experience!
