Foodie's Fan Club


For my 100th blog post, and as a member of the recently formed Foodie’s Fan Club, I’d like to celebrate another blogger that many of us have come to admire and appreciate. This is for you Asha of Foodies Hope!

Lotus of Lotus Reads, saw my Halloween comment to you about giving you a blog award and suggested to me that if would be nice if we could actually award you in some way. I thought it was a great idea and many of us agreed. We came together, well virtually anyway, to form Foodie’s Fan Club to award you this button to post on your blog. Please email me to get the HTML code! And just because you don’t see some names here, please don’t assume they were not interested. We could not contact everyone. You have a lot of readers!

As faithful readers of your blog, we have all come to admire and appreciate your posts - the stories you share, the photos, and the recipes. Oh those recipes! You are an amazing writer, photographer, and cook. I think we all want to come to your house for a meal! And even though most of us have never actually met you, there is a genuine warmth, kindness, and sincerity to your posts and comments back to us that makes us all feel appreciated and welcomed.

Your posts rise to another level and have certainly raised the bar for all of us. There are a lot of great bloggers out there, but you are remarkable. And your Halloween Post! You took away our collective breath!

We think you’re awesome Asha! Thank you for all you do!

Hey Anali, this is a beautiful post! You have so aptly expressed everything I would have liked to have said to Asha, so thank you!

We both spent a lot of time on Asha's blog trying to gather names and e-mail addresses,so much so I thought Asha was going to smell a rat! (did you sense anything was up, Asha?) :)

Trying to get Asha's e-mail address to notify her about the award was the hardest part...Asha, I left you a comment trying to trick you into writing me, but you didn't fall for it! ;)

Anyway, many thanks to you Anali for being such an able and wonderful person to work with on this project and thank you Asha for putting together such a wonderful blog - not only do you treat us to those fabulous mouth-watering recipes but you are also such a gracious and charming hostess, it is a pleasure to visit your blog.
