Seasons Greetings

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!!

It’s been a busy month already, so I haven’t posted as much as I’d like. The Well Fed Network is doing a holiday tradition series in all of the blogs there, so check out the info over there!

I did want to take a moment, though, and wish all my readers a really great holiday season this year. I hope you and your families have a great Christmas and a happy New Year. I appreciate all the comments and emails over the last months, and hope to keep improving the blog as 2007 starts. Continue reading

The 2006 Food Blog Awards have begun nominations, from now until December 15… Just this week! There are several categories in which to nominate your favorite blog.

Nominations can be made HERE. Again, I’m not asking for nominations, just involvement! That means some of you lurkers may have to leave a comment. Continue reading

Armed with a torch and newspaper, I venture out, though, and get hit with cold air as I open the door. Refusing to let this deter me, I open the garage and get some charcoal into a chimney by the smoker, lighting the newspaper and getting things going. Continue reading

Change in style?

This month is nuts already. I’ve been off the computer, or at least off the blog, quite a bit due to 1. writing for the Well Fed Network, and 2. getting ready for Christmas, and 3. starting up my last term of classes that I’m taking. I’ll try to be more diligent through the next few weeks. Continue reading
