Can you believe it's been two! whole! years! since I started this little blog? Holy man, where does the time go? 163 posts later and I'm still in awe that people other than my sister and a handful of close friends read these pages on a fairly regular basis. Many of you, okay, most of you are complete strangers and you've welcomed my words, recipes and photographs into your world. It's humbling, let me tell you. Never in a million years would I be here unless you guys were too, so thank you so very very much for hanging out with me through the joys and sorrows; the cat talk and mom talk; the cake and the kale. Thank you for every kind comment and encouraging word - they go straight to the heart. Thanks also for letting me know when I goof up (it happens! - I'm not a robot!). Lately I've been trying to surround myself with things that make me happy (tea, chocolate, cats, books, food mags, Bruce Springsteen, Downton Abbey, Bradley Cooper - oh to be surrounded by Bradley Cooper!) and you know what? This little blog makes me really, really happy. It's a joy to sit down in my den, with slippers on the feet and a cat on the lap, and share a little piece of my world with you. Thank you for two wonderful years. Let's rock the heck out of year three, shall we?
