To the most wonderful, thoughtful, intelligent, sweet, kind, forgetful, handsome, sexy, goofy, geeky, talented, artistic, creative, far-away person in the whole, wide world:
Christopher is in Palau until mid-April 2008, so pop over to his place, check out his fab photos, and mebbe say happy birthday?
I love you and miss you SO much, B.D.
Our little villa by the sea...
We're off to Spain today for a holiday, and won't be back for almost two weeks! We'll be without phone or computer, so I'll have to catch up on all of the goings-on in the food blogging world when we return.
I've got some exciting blogging plans for this autumn and winter (as do many of you, I expect), and I'm looking forward to announcing them in late October. I hope you all have a great couple of weeks, and I'll talk to you when I'm back online!
Cheers,
...and Kitchen Sweet Kitchen! I'm thrilled to be home after five weeks stateside visiting friends and family, and absolutely overwhelmed with the amount of catching up I need to do in the blogosphere!
I missed so many things events and announcements, that I feel like I've been gone for a year! The wonderful Reid (ono kine grindz), celebrated his 1st blogaversary and changed back to his original banner, Julie (a finger in every pie) entered and WON her very first Paper Chef with a fantastic compote (and madeleines to boot!), Jen (Prepare to Meet Your Bakerina) skipped town for Scotland and left the lunatics in charge, Sam (Becks 'n Posh) started a Food Blog S'cool , Clement (a la cuisine!) was overall winner and Niki (Esurientes: The Comfort Zone ) won for best aesthetics in the latest DMBLGIT?, the good Dr. Biggles (Meathenge) started posting about VEGGIES! (Holy Cow is all I've got to say about that- nyuck, nyuck), Dawn (My Life With Garlic) is in the midst of an epic battle with Momma's pepper biscuits, and Anna Lisa (Oslo Foodie) has done a redesign and starting cooking lessons. Wow, you guys!
Geez, I left town (and, more seriously, the internet) for five weeks, and missed two EoMEoTE, IMBB#14, SHF#7, Paper Chef #6, WBW#9! Fortunately, IMBB15: Has My Blog Jelled?, hosted by the lovely Elise of Simply Recipes, is coming up on May 22nd, with all of the other events following, thank goodness.
In the meantime, I'll be throwing up some posts on my travels, including trips to the famed Zingerman's in Ann Arbor, Michigan, Tony Packo's in Toledo, Ohio, and The Candy Jar & Coffee House in Perrysburg, Ohio. I'll try to recreate some of the fab dishes I had whilst in North Carolina, including cheese grits, kale with poached eggs, and cat-head biscuits, all made by my friend Heather- one of the best instinctive, natural cooks I know. I also need to get my okole in gear on the cookbook for my niece, so I'll be posting more heirloom recipes very soon.
Phew...it's good to be back. I missed you guys and I can't wait to get properly caught up with everyone again!
