I realize I'm posting a comment about a year after you posted the blog, but I just stumbled upon your blog via The Daring Kitchen. I had to tell you that I feel the same way!

I see all these great food blogs (I'm obsessed), a couple of which are by hometown bloggers (such as Erin from the comment above me) and it's easy to feel deflated when I see my FeedBurner subscribers: 2. And I'm one of them.

Nevertheless, my blog is my hobby. I just redesigned it because I like it, and a little bit because it's easier for everyone else to read now. I just joined the Daring Kitchen, in part to get my site out there, but also to challenge myself.

I'm not sure if you're blogging anymore, but if you're still checking comments I just want you to know that I've enjoyed everything I've read!

In case you can't tell by the amount of comments I've been leaving you, I've just now stumbled upon your blog. I know exactly how you feel. I first began blogging a little over a year ago. It was originally just a way for me to keep track of all my recipes, and because I loved reading food blogs. I submitted a couple things to Tastespotting, got accepted, and then was all "WHOO HOO"... but then, suddenly, they began to reject EVERYTHING. And it really made me get down on myself. Then I took some time and reevaluated just why exactly I blog. It's just a hobby for me. I've really gotten into the photography aspect of it too. But mainly, I just ENJOY cooking, and enjoy sharing recipes. I do it for myself. So, once I realized that... I've went back to enjoying it. I don't submit everything to Tastespotting (about 1/3-1/2 of my posts I do). But I have a lot more fun!

I'm glad I found your blog (via Foodgawker), and I think you have a great "voice" and fun recipes. :)

I know what you mean about taking the internet by storm. I am a new blogger with my own site and I thought I could at least make a few friends with a passion for food and share my recipes as well but really in the 3 weeks I have been posting (5 days a week), I have only received a few comments and my mom and husband are my only subscribers. Not to mention, Tastespotting and Foodgawker have rejected more photos than accepted. Keep in mind though that in real life and sometimes the movies, when the geeky girl grows up she has a much cooler life due to her growing years and personality, thus she is more attractive.

welcome back :)
