One year ago today, I started my blog with
this post, proclaiming my intentions and telling a bit about myself. Yay, one year anniversary!! What I didn't tell you was this: the reason I really started my blog was because I was very lonely. My entire social circle disappeared after Katrina and because I have worked from home for the past 5 years, I had little opportunity to rebuild it. Kid Cayenne (my wife, were it legal... otherwise known as partner, since it isn't) and I share most aspects of our lives, but my wide open-armed love of food is not really one of them. I decided that if I were to build a new circle of friends, I wanted it it to include other people who shared my obsession for food so that I'd have kindred souls to exchange recipes and ideas with, fixate on obscure ingredients with and hopefully even share a meal with. My blog is my attempt to create that for myself, both virtually and in real life.
This means I need readers and even more, I need commenters. I need the exchange. I need the give and take. I need YOU, dear readers, to talk to me about what you think, what you like and don't like. What you agree with, what you don't. What you are intrigued by and what you can teach me. I need feedback.
I know you are out there. My stats tell me you are. Since few of you comment, I've decided to try luring you all out by offering an anniversary celebration giveaway of one of my favorite kitchen/dining room tools: the Peugot pepper mill. I've had mine for years and it's dear to me. Even though I have one, I would happily take another. It is beautiful, both in aesthetic and design. It functions superbly. It is perfect for stove-side or table top. I will be giving away one
Peugeot Paris u'Select 9-Inch Chocolate Pepper Mill that features Peugeot's masterfully engineered grinding mechanisms and the patented u'Select feature, which lets you choose the grind from six settings with a simple turn of the base. Yours will be even better than mine, which has the old style adjustable grind mechanism and doesn't lock into place. I hope you all enter because this is a fine pepper mill and deserves a wonderful home.
How to Enter:
