What an honor to have received the Versatile Blogger Award! This is something very truly special – many thanks to Christopher at The Delgrosso Food Blog for his nomination and kind words.
In keeping with the spirit of the award, the rules are as follows:
- Thank the person who nominated me and link back to them in my post.
- Share 7 things about myself
- Pass the award on to 15 more bloggers that I enjoy
- Contact the bloggers I have chosen to let them know that they have been selected!
So here goes!
Kathy:
- I didn’t acquire a passion for food until later in life. My best friend can attest that once I invited her over for lunch (granted, we were 12 years old) and I was convinced that it took eight minutes to cook a hot dog in the microwave.
- I have been living in Spain for the past three years, but only recently – within the past month or so – has the light bulb finally switched “on” for the language.
- My favorite food is braised chicken feet.
- My favorite snack is dried tofu.
- Since meeting my husband, I have traveled to two new continents, and camped in the Namibian desert.
- The last book I read was Sweet Life in Paris, by David Lebovitz – loved every word of it!
- I am a science nerd by day; food lover, wine drinker, and writer by night.
Sandra:
- I’ve always loved food, I’ve been told if I saw your mouth moving, I would come up and ask “what are you eating…?”
- It’s a secret, but lately, I’ve been on a potato chip binge, and I just can’t stop! My favorite chips are Hawaiian Kettle Style Potato Chips – Luau BBQ.
- I love opening up our home and sharing a nice meal with friends and family.
- My current read is Steve Jobs’ biography.
- I love plopping on the couch and watching romantic comedies – even if they’re bad.
- Vacations usually revolve around meals and food. I calculate the total number of meals and plan where to have each one. Lots of work, but well worth it!
- I live in jeans, tees, and flip flops whenever possible!
