In addition to the Oscars, the Emmys, the Junos and all the other awards which are part of the rapidly approaching award season, there's apparently this thing called an MOV award for blogging.
Both the lovely Julie over at Feeding the Cat & the equally lovely Skwishee at Just a Mom? gave one to me.
They're both pretty rockin' so go read their stuff if you haven't already.
Also, Skwishee, you really should give quick pickles a shot! They're easy, fun, cheap and delicious. As an added bonus, extra jars make handy gifts.
I don't know who to give an award to in return, since I don't read a ton of blogs (and will likely be reading fewer in the coming weeks after our new human arrives).
However, I'm apparently supposed to post why I started writing. While I really like my job, it doesn't use my degree or creative muscles (for the record, I have a B. of Fine Arts in Theatre Production and Design - specifically lighting design, costume design and stage management). It also lets me avoid driving my loved ones crazy from talking their ears off about the latest recipe I've tried/thing I've done in the garden/etc.
So there ya go. Thanks for the appreciation :)
You're welcome :)
ReplyDeleteOddly enough, I had way more time to do things like this when my tiny humans were tiny.
We had a lot of cucumbers last year so I gave pickling a go and made two large jars. I tried them for the first time a few weeks ago. Sooooo yummy, not sweet like the bought ones, beautiful on bread with cheese.
