Happy Blogiversary to me!

That's right, cats and kittens. Four years ago today, I posted some musings on food in New York and a review of the then newly-opened cocktail bar Death & Company, and a blog was born. Since 2007 (when I posted a measly 54 times, compared to 245 in 2010), we've been on many adventures together - Paris, Sonoma, India, Napa, Ohio, Pennsylvania, London...it's been a pretty marvelous run thus far!

As a bit of a celebration and a walk through the past, I thought I'd share a few photos I found browsing entries from over the years. I tried to select one favorite and truly representative specimen from each year, but 2009 proved to be too chock-full of merriment (Hello, 30th birthday trip to Sonoma, Napa and San Franciso!) to be so restrained.

2007: Wild Asparagus with Spaghetti & Chives

2008: Pork Belly-Off: Crispy Pork Belly with Watermelon & Pickled Jalapeno

2009: Banh Mi Mania

2009: Angelina's Taqueria in Sonoma

2009: Barbecued Oysters at The Marshall Store on Tomales Bay

2010: Browned Butter Pound Cake


2011: Mushrooms de Bourgogne

So, there you have it! 4 years and 637 posts' worth of content distilled into seven photographs. I hope you enjoyed this little wander through the past, and I want to extend an impossibly hearty thank you to all of you for reading! It's been so wonderful to spend time with all of you, albeit virtually, and I can't wait to see what the next four years bring our way.

Smooches!
