Notes, projects and recipes by Christian Engen 2026-07-30T00:00:00Z https://cengen.no/ Christian Engen 2026-07-30T00:00:00Z https://cengen.no/posts/hello/ <p>I've kept notes in Obsidian for years. It works well for thinking and badly for sharing — every recipe I actually cook is buried in a vault only I can open, in whatever shape it was in when I pasted it there.</p> <p>So: a site. Three things I want from it.</p> <p><strong>Recipes that survive contact with a kitchen.</strong> Structured ingredients, real steps, readable on a phone with flour on my hands. Committing them to a page forces me to clean them up, which is the actual point.</p> <p><strong>A place to link projects.</strong> Side projects currently exist as GitHub repos with no context. A short page each is enough.</p> <p><strong>Somewhere to write.</strong> Not often. Just somewhere that isn't a work document.</p> <p>Built with <a href="https://www.11ty.dev/">Eleventy</a>, hosted on Cloudflare Pages, deployed on <code>git push</code>. The whole thing is a folder of markdown files, which is the only publishing pipeline I've ever managed to stick with.</p>
