Just checkin' in... And substituting this week's Film Friday for a little 'holla...
This past week I was awarded The Versatile Blogger Award from Terry @ RV Life & Food. The "VBA" award originated in September 2011 as a way for bloggers to show other bloggers their appreciation.
Now, comments are like blogger gold - a comment with an award attached?? I'll take it!
It's always nice to know that someone digs your blog - especially as it evolves and changes so often. I started my blog in an attempt to reach out to other people about food, wine, and the loves and challenges I face on a daily basis in relation to those things. The connections I have made have been absolutely invaluable and I do hope they all continue to grow....which is why I'm gladly continuing the link-up!
The Rules:
- Thank the person who gave you this award.
- Include a link to their blog.
- Next, select 15 blogs/bloggers that you’ve recently discovered or follow regularly.
- Nominate those 15 bloggers for the Versatile Blogger Award.
- Finally, tell the person who nominated you (and those reading this post!) 7 things about yourself.
- Inform each nominated blogger of their nomination by posting a comment on each of their blogs.
Sounds easy enough to me!
I'm nominating 15 blogs that I just can't get enough of. It doesn't seem to matter what they post, I'm always well entertained and/or in absolute awe of their writing and photography skills. Plus they're pretty cool bitches. (no pressure to keep it going ladies [and Mike])...
- kaitlyn & isavirtue
- Sam @ Cooking My Way Through My CSA
- Stacy @ Seattle Seedling
- Teresa @ Food on Fifth
- Lindsey @ NW Backyard Veggie Patch

- Mike & Molly @ Mike & Molly's House

And now for 7 things about me! (because we really know it's me you come for)...JK, JK. Seriously though, go say hi to the above peeps - you'll love em!
- I didn't grow up cooking and it doesn't come naturally. My idea of a gourmet meal at one time was Kraft Dinner, a can of tuna, and ketchup.
- I hate wearing pants. I avoid them at all costs. I do love cardigans and old man sweaters though.
- I haven't bought shaving cream in over 5 years. When I decide to shave my legs (which is not as often as some may like), I use hair conditioner - it leaves my legs uber smooth!
- I have a tendency to bite my nails while I read.
- I use the word "vagina" as often as possible.
- I'm impossibly impatient. I. Do. Not. Like. To. Wait.
- I laugh at just about everything. Except waiting and pants.
Happy Friday everybody! Plans this weekend?
Thanks so much Kristy Lynn! I really enjoy your blog and your YUMMY recipes as well. And on top of it I love your sense of humour - if I lived anywhere near Victoria BC I'd invite you over for a cuppa and a laugh :)
ReplyDeleteHeck yeah!
DeleteThankyou, Kristy Lynn.
ReplyDeleteWeekend plans include a much needed night out to celebrate my cousin's Birthday with Sushi! And weeding in the P-patch:) Oh, and using this as my Monday post to spread the love.
Love your parting photo - happy weekend!
birthdays and sushi?! Can I come?
DeleteReally enjoyed reading the seven things about you.
ReplyDeletehaha, thanks Terry! I enjoyed reading yours!
Deleteawww, YAY! thank you SO much, I am honored.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your seven things - so many things we have in common - I rarely wear pants, always in a skirt or dress (I used to mow the lawn in a skirt...), and LOVE cardigans. I have more than I can count. I am impatient in a really bad way.
YOOOOUUUU are awesome! hope you have a great weekend XO
i love that you would mow the lawn in a dress. you're so badass :)
DeleteAaah, shucks! The feeling is mutual, love! And seriously, conditioner/shaving cream is the bomb! :) lol
ReplyDeletei'm glad we agree! it's funny the things that come out when someone says something. haha...
DeleteI am working this weekend... but I just have to say... CONGRATULATIONS... I really enjoy reading your blog... I am a line cook so i do a lot of cooking... and I appreciate the work you do here and look forward to more entries...Thank you
ReplyDeletethank you Dawn!! i'm glad to have you! also jealous: i wish i could cook professionally.
DeleteThank you :-)
ReplyDeleteJust today I remarked that I preferred wearing skirts. No kidding.
I'm honored that you stop by my little blog for a look. Thanks, again!
skirts are the bomb..... did i just say "bomb"?
DeleteCongrats on the Versatile Blogger Award! Would you like to add another award to your collection? I'm passing along the Liebster Blog award to you. There's some info about it on my post

thanks for this k - it's really sweet!
ReplyDeleteditto, pants are awful!!
i knew you'd like that one. ;)
DeleteOh thanks so much Kristy Lynn. I so appreciate this from you and cannot tell you how much I also look forward to your posts. Thanks for sharing some little tidbits about you as well. This is the most beautiful of weekends here in Nashville, TN. The perfectly perfect Spring weather...my vegetable garden is coming along and the birds are singing as a cool breeze ruffles the curtains. T
ReplyDeleteaw, shucks! ;) thank you teresa - i feel the same way about you and your blog. obviously.
Deletecongrats sista, that is way cool
ReplyDeletethank you!
DeleteThanks Kristy for including us!
ReplyDeleteanytime :)
DeleteThat's funny about the conditioner - I'll have to give that one a try. And, I remember a time when you had a Kraft macaroni & cheese dinner with Tuna IN it, that was eatin' good. One of the biggest lessons I learned in college was how expensive it is to stock that pantry I took for granted...
ReplyDeleteThanks for including me on your list - it's awesome to know someone you enjoy reading enjoys reading you too : )
Wasn't quite sure if I should just run with it, or wait for you to post a comment on my blog?
nah, giver ;)
DeleteThanks for the tag, lovely. I'll get around to doing my post soon. I only use conditioner in a pinch (kind of in love with TJ's mango shave cream, which could probably double as hair conditioner).
ReplyDeletethat's cool. what is TJ's mango shave cream??? that sounds delicious!
