21 December 2007
So, I've missed a couple of dates worth commemorating lately, starting with my blog's birthday back on the sixth of December. It's seven years old now! I used to go through the previous year's posts to pull a quote from each month, but I've grown too lazy for that over the past couple of years. Last year, I found an image of something I'd made in each month, but this year you're getting screen captures from my flickr food set. Because it's pretty much just been about food, no?
I also missed the anniversary of closing on my house, which was the 18th. I think I waited until the 19th to start painting every room in the house. What a long way it's come. And it'll only get better in the coming year! Let's celebrate with another photo of food.
Yesterday was my sixth month Beaniversary. Unsurprisingly, it seems like she's been around a lot longer than that, and it also seems like she can't possibly have been wreaking havoc for six entire months. She's so full of personality; it's hard to imagine what life was like before her. And she's only a cat!
One date I haven't yet missed is tomorrow -- my birthday. I'm pretty excited, mainly about the cake I'm going to make (and then eat). I've been so excited about food (birthday meals and the whole gamut of Christmas-related celebrations, including the vegan Celebration Roast I'm bringing for myself on Christmas day) and about buying/making gifts for my family and friends. . . the idea of actually getting gifts this season seems almost offensive. Somehow, I think I'll cope.
Happy blogiversary, Happy birthday, happy everything!! Warmest wishes!!

Happy, happy everything! I'm sad that I will not be able to get some Indian food with you to celebrate your birthday or to see how the house evolves or to be entertained by Beany! I will have to make my way back to MN soon. :)

I've been lurking for a while now, but wanted to break out of the shadows to wish you a happy birthday.
I love your blog - the food, the photos of the food, the pets...it's all lovely. (Are your pets vegetarian too?)
