Thinking Blogger Award

Here we are, late again. Freya and Paul at Writing at the Kitchen Table were kind enough to include us in their Thinking Bloggers award with four other interesting food blogs. The three of us, sister Doodles, daughter Maltese Parakeet, who we fondly call lil bird, and myself have enjoyed the year plus of blogging and hope to add a new dimension with Doodles being on the road for a while and the "gypsy" of our gang of three.

This honor is not taken lightly so we will get on with the our nominations. The meme ask nothing other that to nominate five food blogs that make you think. Us three settled on one each and, with a flourish, here they are.

Doodles: Lucullian Delights-An Italian Experience If you only go to see Ilva's photos you'd be pleased enough but do stay for the recipes, she comes up with some great flavor idea. Check out the Minty Pea and Avocado salad.

Maltese Parakeet: Kate at Accidental hedonist writes about the politics of food and her food history posts are so much fun. Don't miss The etymology of Pumpernickel for a grand chuckle.

Mooncrazy: Megan at Chez Mégane does the ordinary extraordinary. Her pre-prep and prep photos are great for the new cook and Molten Chocolate Cinnamon Cakes are easier than I'd thought.

This list is not finite by any stretch of the imagination but we are pleased to be in the company of any of these three food bloggers.

If we named your blog, here is what you are supposed to do:

1. If, and only if, you get tagged, write a post with links to 5 blogs that make you think,
2. Link to this post so that people can easily find the exact origin of the meme,
3. Optional: Proudly display the 'Thinking Blogger Award' with a link to the post that you wrote.
4. don't forget to notify they blogs you've nominated.
