The Big 2-6.
So today I turn 26 years old, and show my face for the first time. That's me up there, celebrating my 24th birthday.
And because it's my birthday, I've decided that it's a good enough excuse to not worry about posting a recipe today. Today, I'm boycotting the kitchen and eating out. Because, although I love to cook, there's something not too thrilling about cooking your own birthday dinner, or baking your own birthday cake. Instead, I'm celebrating at a restaurant with The Mr. and ordering myself a tasty dinner and a sinful birthday dessert.
AND I'm going to ask you all for gifts.
:::gasp:::
Yep, uh-huh.
I know there are ways out there to track the activity my blog sees. And if I was tech-savvy enough to look into those methods, I might have an idea of who all visits, where they visit from, and if there's really anyone out there reaping some benefits from what I post. But, to be honest, I don't know much about the interwebs. All I really know is how to take a crappy picture of something I make and slap it up here with the recipe... probably often with typos (my apologies).
So..onto my birthday request...
If you follow my blog, consider becoming a "Follower." I'm curious just how many people see the hideous photos I post. The Mr. keeps saying, "We need to get you some photography lessons."
:::sigh:::
I think what I really need is a good camera!
In the end, though I strive for impressive photos, what I'm most concerned about is offering something that tastes good and is fairly easy to make, no matter what it looks like.
Cheers!
Happy Birthday Tara! Enjoy your day!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday. Have a great evening with the Mr.

ReplyDeleteHappy birthday! Wanted to let you know that I check your blog almost every day on my lunch hour for your recipes - and I think your photos are fine! My husband always laughs when I take pics of my food to post on my blog:)
ReplyDeleteHmmmm if I take the photos for you, do I get to eat some of the food you make?
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday!!
happy birthday! I follow your blog (I think I found it from facebook), and have made the cinnamon candleholders as well as several recipes! thank you for sharing- i really only cook from a few sources: your blog, rachael ray cookbooks, betty crocker, and cooking light magazine. :)

ReplyDeleteI just got the Canon G11 for a point-and-shoot and it's pretty awesome for foodie pics!
