Robert Hutchison, in an address to the British Medical Association in 1930, once said "Vegetarianism is harmless enough though it is apt to fill a [hu]man with wind and self-righteousness."
What a year! I must say, I'm glad to be putting it behind me. Several highlights though, it's not that 2011 was a terrible year. There are definitely some moments/events/times that I'm glad I won't be repeating, but all in all it went by so fast because we were so busy! 2012 is going to unpredictable and no doubt speedy as well. Best part of this past year? Rod's family coming to visit!! What a great month! Worst part? Having to say good-bye to Lancelot. Hm. Still sad.
So, changing the subject before sap-head cries again, all other food bloggers I'm following are doing a sort of recipe round-up. I might as well too. I'm biased though, so I guess I can't be a good judge for the 'best in show' category. What to do... what... to... do...
Index! To index everything, it will not only take forever, but it will also take up beaucoup amounts of space so just a few for each genre of meal. The ones listed aren't my "favorites" by any means because, as mentioned above, I love all of them. Also, I apologize for the formatting, usually they are pleasantly left-justified but for some reason they only want to show up in the center or else I have to do some weird paragraphing and I don't want to risk screwing it up on the output. Oh my, did I just geek out there for a second?
