My 1 Year Blogging Anniversary


I didn't make this cake, but the photo sums up my sentiments exactly.



I’m shouting it from the hills (or rather my apartment in Brooklyn) that today is my 1 year blogging anniversary.


Never thought I’d make it this far when I sat down last January 3rd, and put up a silly post about Holy Toast.


In honor of my big anniversary, I’d like to ask you dear readers (who I track, so I know I have a lot of readers lurking and never posting) to post a comment or drop me an email to say hi. Feel free to let me know what you liked this past year, what you hated, what bored you, or what events you’d like to see in the future.


To celebrate my anniversary, I’ve complied a David Letterman-like list.



Nora’s Top 10 List of Memorable Foodie Moments (on and off the blog)


10. Another season watching Anthony Bourdain’s No Reservations on the Travel Channel.


9. Spilling a goat cheese and arugula pierogi down the front of me on a first date. Yep, I'm pretty smooth.


8. Responses on my two negative event reviews. Yes, event organizers find my blog!


7. Saturday mornings buying fruit/veggies at the Union Square Greenmarket.


6. Chatting with Wiley Publishing cookbook editors Gypsy and Jana at the PRSA Food Blogger event.


5. Mitch Feinberg’s stunning food photography at the Design of Food Presentation.


4. Cooking up pot stickers for the masses at the Dumpling Festival.


3. My friend Holly and I dining at JoeDoe. Best meal I had this year.


2. Listening to Judith Jones talk and do her Julia Child impersonations


And my # 1 memorable foodie moment is.....


1. Butchering classes with Jeffrey Ruhalter.


I’ve had a blast with the blog and wanted to say thanks for reading and a special thanks to everyone who I’ve met and written about. I'm looking forward to another year of new food adventures!

  1. Nora,

    I think this past year, writing, and exploring new foods has been a wonderful thing, for you, and for us, your readers. I look forward to reading your future posts, and about your various foodie experiences. Good luck, and may it be not one more year, but many more years of food tasting, testing, making, eating, experiencing, and writing for us.

    P.SBS

    PS. I want some pumpkin bread... :)
