I'm Not Pretending to be a Food Blogger

but....

1)  I am inspired by fellow bloggers (of the food variety) Becky and Laura

2)  I cooked myself a nice dinner.  And, although I thoroughly appreciated it (at least my taste buds and stomach did),  I felt it was too good to keep to myself.  And, it photographed so prettily.

Sigh.

I suppose photographing and posting the dirty dishes and grocery bill from this meal would really complete the picture.

No Soup for You?

So yesterday, for the first time, I made homemade soup (recipe courtesy of Becky, aka Thyme for Wine). Mmm. I did a fantastic job, if I do say so myself. Martha Stewart, move over.

My only complaint about this recipe is that it didn't have any wine in it. I'm all about cooking with wine; sometimes I even use it in the recipe.

Giveaway!

So, some of my readers have expressed an interest in a giveaway. Well, there is an actual giveaway happening on one of the blogs I follow!

Becky's Blog - it's called Thyme for Wine - is hosting a giveaway. Becky - my favorite holiday food are chocolate chip shortbread cookies - I will post to your blog appropriately. Jaime - six points!

(Who is Becky? She's Emily's brother Doug's girlfriend! That's who!)

Anyhow.

What spurred the giveaway? Becky is up to 50 public followers! I will 'follow' in suit - when I have 50 public followers, there will be a giveaway.

Stay tuned & recruit!
