Blog Turns 5!

on Friday, November 1, 2013
Honestly, I can't believe it. Really! 5 years! (I originally posted 6 years... see how tired I am... that's my daughter's age! Thanks Steve B!) What started out as nothing more than a little hobby taking pictures with my Blackberry (yes, I did have one), we now have a blog that has grown organically into an obsession. I still do it in addition to my day job and I really don't make much money from the advertisements. Hence, it was and will always be a personal blog about what I eat. Once again, I'm not sure how long this will go, but I'll do it as long as I still enjoy it. Thanks again for all my friends and family who have supported and eaten with me. Also, I can't thank enough all the people who read my blog and leave thoughtful comments. So once again, I'll have a draw for a $50.00 gift certificate. If you want to enter, just leave a comment with your first initial and last name. I will draw a winner in a week's time.

Good stuff

Congratulations on your 5th anniversary (looks like you're 1 year ahead of yourself)
Thank you for your many tips on where to find the best of so many different foods.

I sometimes refer to food blogs as food porn. I imagine myself tasting the flavours, I read it in secret (sometimes with shame), I enjoy the visual experience... And it's quite enjoyable overall! Thanks for introducing me to your world, as well as the many places to eat in our fair city!
J Home. You've been a big influence on us over the last 5 years. I can hardly believe it's been that long.... it just seems like yesterday I was introduced to your blog by a mutual friend. I am so happy your hobby was enjoyable enough for you to continue and grow for 6 whole years. I hope there will be many more to come! Congratulations to you, your family and your many faithful dining partners.
Congratz Sherman! Love reading your blogs. Keep it up!! =)

I live in Campbell River and read your blog every single day. As you can imagine we don't have nearly the variety of restaurants as you do in Vancouver so I enjoy looking at the photos and dreaming of which place I will visit next time I visit the city. Maybe someday you will reveal how you manage to post a new restaurant review every single day. It's amazing! Do you ever eat at home? Congratulations on reaching 5 years and keep up the good work of eating out on behalf of all of us.
Congrats!

Woot! My favourite time of the year. Thanks for doing this for so long. Many would have moved on or dissolved their initial ambitions.
