Blog Anniversary!

It has been a while since I posted and I have been doing some thinking about the blog. I still love posting the recipes and all the great feedback I get, but I have been pondering doing more posts about ME. How totally self indulgent right? I just realized that the blogs I love often tell a lot about the person behind the recipes. So I thought I might give that a try as I celebrate the 2nd anniversary of the blog.

Off to see Wicked!
This is the picky eater, Tom and me, Rhonda. We have been together for almost ten years and married for almost 2.

hoodie dogs
These are our 2 little monster dogs, Joey and Tanner. You might see them poking their heads into some photos on the blog every now and again. They are always in the kitchen just waiting for something to fall.

Don't worry I will still be posting lots of recipes, but I will also be posting about some of my vintage collectible habits and my Pyrex addiction.

I won't leave you without some food, here is a pic of some pierogies I had yesterday. I am originally from Western PA and found a place here in AZ that serves them fresh and homemade. Delicious!





Happy New Year to you all, and please let me know what you think about this change to the blog!

    I love the idea. It would be fun to learn about you as long as you keep feeding us, too. :)

    Great idea, we love learning about the people behind the blog (and behind the dog blog:) I wish I had kept my mother's old Pyrex and would have sent it all to you.

    Hope you have a wonderful new year.

    How nice to put faces with the names! Thanks to your obsession with old Pyrex, I started collecting and using the smaller sizes. They work great in my Farmer/Factory-worker's lunch box.

    Is it absolutely horrible to say that you are so much younger than I imagined? I guess I could say you have a mature writing and eating style. **grin**

    Happy New Year! Glad you are keeping it up, and it will be fun to get to know more about you.
    I collect pyrex too, and love vintage stuff, so I'm looking forward to future posts!

    The crazy old bat also has several pieces of pyrex. Nothing better when cooking. Maybe she will leave it to Peanut's mom when she goes to the Bridge. Love the new idea.

    It sounds great for me, but more importantly, its gotta be fun for you. Its an extra job for you, and while I thought dog blogging would be just fun, sometimes its work! So do what seems like more fun and toss in eats now and then.

    Cheers and hugs,
    Jo and Stella

    Of course being regulars over at Joe Stain's blog we knew who we were watching cook but this is a cool spin for those who didn't! I will really enjoy seeing and hearing about your Pyrex collection too:)

    Happy new year! And blogoversary ;)

    I think a personal touch sounds great! It's one of things that can make you read a blog rather than just surfing through looking for spesific recipes.

    Really think it's inhumane to not drop more full chicken legs onto the floor for the canines in the household on a regular basis. I mean, they do provide so much moral support for all your blogging activity so it isn't THAT much to ask, is it? Shame on you!
