Everything is a little topsy turvy right now with a pond for a yard, a wet basement, and two days of school canceled due to flooding. (Makes the mini flood of last summer seem like a walk in the park.)Here's the good news: today is my one year blogging anniversary! I owe it all to my college roomie, Erica (the original Remembery Capsule recipient), who gently pressed me (many times) to start this blog. It was to be a marketing tool for my jewelry business, which I suppose it is, in a roundabout way. What I never could have imagined was the connections I would make, the knowledge I would glean, and the doors of opportunity that would open. So glad I finally listened to her good advice and started this...I don't know, the word blog just doesn't seem to do it justice.
Another good note: these bread sticks (recipe from Petit Appetit; Eat, Drink, and Be Merry) are the perfect companion for a jar of Nutella. Oh boy. They're made from whole wheat, so that balances out the chocolate, right?
Happy blogiversary! I am so glad you do it - I love to visit and see what you are up to! I hope that flood isn't causing too much damage and that things get less topsy turvy soon - whole wheat definately balances the nutella - more than, go for it and enjoy! :D
ReplyDeleteI love the toy boat floating in your flood. Hope you get bailed out soon. Cazy it's so bad they cancelled school. I think I'd rather be snow bound. Then at least there's something to do. But then again, with a flood you could always put on your bathing suits and go for a dip. Happy one year blog a ma jig.

ReplyDeleteUnbelievable! What a flood! I bet your kids can think of a lot of fun use out of it... I hope your house doesn't take any damage!
ReplyDeleteHappy anniversary! I'm glad you started your blog too. :) That flooding looks pretty darn impressive. Good luck! I hope it will dry out soon.
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary! I love coming to visit here, and look forward to another year of reading.
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry to hear of the flood. I truly hope that life returns to normal very soon, and that the damage is minimal
Yikes. I hope you will be dry soon! Happy Anniversary to you! And the more chocolate the better in my book!
ReplyDeleteAhoy matie! It's wet here too. I bet you can float from your house to my house. Happy Blogaversary. It's a happy ocassion. The bread sticks look great. I've heard that if you eat a whole wheat bread stick and nutella it's a complete protein and you get your daily fiber.Life is too good sometimes. bon appetite.
ReplyDeletehappy blogaversary! i can't believe that backyard of yours. sometimes our basement looks like that:) maybe i would actually see some humor in it if i threw a toy boat down next time. i will try to remember to do that! enjoy your nutella and breadsticks! xo, pennie

Which Name?
My belief is that everything (anything?) balances out chocolate...or should that be chocolate balances out everything? ;-)
