"I'm Just Happy to be Nominated..."

The Accidental Hedonist is hosting the 2004 Food Blog Awards, which I'm happy to see taking place. With the intense political issues of the past years being hashed and rehashed elsewhere in the blogosphere, you'd think more bloggers would take a break to enjoy a bite to eat some time-- whether virtual or around a real table. As for the folks serving up decent fare on their food blogs, I'm glad to see the "chefs" getting some credit.

Burning My Fingers has been nominated for the "best food blog by a chef" award. But I recently wrote Kate and told her to take me out of the running... one, I'm not a chef, and two, I've not been around long enough to qualify, according to the rules. 

Thank you for the nomination. It really means a lot to me, and I'm glad to have had someone else to share my culinary school experience with.

Now go vote for some good food blogs!

Whether you stay in or not, congratulations on being nominated! I know that I, for one, have very much enjoyed reading about your culinary adventures, and I am just as sorry as you are that you are graduated.

But I'm willing to stop whining if you'll just keep blogging.

Oh yeah, and Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Well, I would have voted for you. How long do you have to blog, anyway? You've been blogging about food for several years, if you include the charity blogging about chocolate you've done.

Hi there Kathy! The way I read the rules, the nominated blog had to be around for at least nine months. This one's only been around since August... I can't remember how long I've been food blogging. Maybe almost two years? I wasn't blogging for awards, anyway...

Shaun: I'd opine that you've been food blogging for at least two and a half years. We "met" at the Blogathon in July 2002, where you blogged about chocolate, remember?

Yes, you are right, Elke!
