Sometimes family issues have to take priority. I have been feeling discouraged lately with my blog but I know it will pass. This community is too important. Don't even consider stopping Dave.Pennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02457380718488241980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6776710088092855973.post-84003856571614382412010-04-18T17:58:26.626-05:002010-04-18T17:58:26.626-05:00Firstly, about the why's and why-nots of blogg...Firstly, about the why's and why-nots of blogging, I have to agree wholeheartedly with Chris and Velva. Sencondly, I too am happy that Heather is back and sad that George and Donna are not (as of yet), and hope they are all doing well. Thirdly, I love you use of the extra potato salad! It has to be delicious. That dish looks like the serving you saved for me, no?Carla and Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11601871255242766861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6776710088092855973.post-39408443375870316472010-04-18T16:57:30.701-05:002010-04-18T16:57:30.701-05:00I actually COL'd (cheered out loud) when I saw...I actually COL'd (cheered out loud) when I saw Girlichef was back.

My husband and I drooled over the BBQ chicken pizza with carmelizecd onions. We decided that the stuff in the baggie is really herbs and he said, "We should make that." In fact he just reminded me. "You should stay home [from niece's recital] and make the herb mix. Too tempting. We will be making your herb mix (as well as the decadent pizza). Two days ago (before I had to shove of for work), I was watching the video on your site with Julie Child making an omelette. So of course, I had to give a try immediately. I started out by burning butter in about 3 seconds, but I made two omelettes since then and love the buttery taste. I have Julie's Mastering cookbook and we share respect for that lady. So.... Thanks for sharing your experience. I really like blogs that show passion and fun with cooking. Bloggers that "are about blogging for the sake of blogging" do not make it to my favorite list.~ Janie ~https://www.blogger.com/profile/03228061167223113694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6776710088092855973.post-38132721426570412642010-04-18T14:03:12.214-05:002010-04-18T14:03:12.214-05:00I too am happy Heather is back :) I do wonder tho...I too am happy Heather is back :) I do wonder though why your version of her recipe is purple?

I just signed up to follow her blog & love her approach to food. <br />Blogging has been so rewarding since starting last August - I remember when we were first in touch & think how much I've learned since then about food, writing about food, taking photos of food etc... and it's been such a fun journey. As always, looking forward to your next post:)The Glamorous Gourmethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15918917969407157368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6776710088092855973.post-9002695701021091912010-04-18T13:13:59.644-05:002010-04-18T13:13:59.644-05:00I was excited to see Girlichef back as well, and I...I was excited to see Girlichef back as well, and I agree, I miss Donna and Crazy Asian Gal. <br /><br />I started blogging in order to share my recipes with my family and friends who were always asking me for my recipes. Then the blog started to grow followers, and many of my followers have become some very dear friends. <br /><br />Blogging is a creative outlet for me; it allows me to combine three of my hobbies into one format, reading, writing, photography, cooking (oops that's four); never was good at math.<br /><br />I've seen people quit for different reasons, health, divorce, birth of children, death, poor sportsmanship, and sometimes it's just the busy-ness of life. <br /><br />I'm glad you didn't quit. You have grown so very very much in the short time I've "known" you and of course, I have learned much from you. You're a terrific writer, cook, and blogging friend. Hope you stay 'round for a loooong time.<br /><br />Love shephard's pie. It's a huge favorite here. I could go for some right now!Katy ~https://www.blogger.com/profile/01622340191299379349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6776710088092855973.post-39318098431308927622010-04-18T10:49:41.698-05:002010-04-18T10:49:41.698-05:00I was so happy to see Girlichef was back as well! ...I was so happy to see Girlichef was back as well!

She was o...I was happy to see Heather back with us. She was one of the first blogs I followed, and she personally assisted me when I was newbie with technical questions. She is wonderful!<br /><br />I am sure if you put bloggers in a room together to discuss why we blog, I think we could agree on a few themes:<br /><br />1. Allows for a creative outlet for our passion. In our case it is all things food.<br />2. Once you start blogging, and participate in the blogging world, you become part of a world community, that is just amazing.<br />3. You learn everyday from the blogs that you read, you hope that as a blogger that you are contributing something to the blogging world too.<br />4. The downside is that blogging can become very time consuming and the pressure we place on ourselves can be tiring. I know that I have to remind myself that I own my blog, my blog does not own me. Lastly, life happens and most of us at some point, will have to take time away from our blogs to focus on life events.<br />A blog that comes to mind is George from a A Nod is as good as a wink-<br />I am glad to see Cathy moving back into the blogging world. I would love Donna from Tasty Treasures to venture back too.Velvahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16034246333318823700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6776710088092855973.post-75056746659920484642010-04-18T10:20:41.796-05:002010-04-18T10:20:41.796-05:00Great post Dave - I guess people blog for many dif...Great post Dave - I guess people blog for many different reasons.

And mine is slowly coming around again (thanks for mentioning it). If it wasn't for the pending divorce I'd be cooking up a storm...instead I'm golfing, riding my motorcycle and reconnecting with friends. The cooking will return (I set my bbq on fire last night...too panicked to get pics). :)Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17146268170259914927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6776710088092855973.post-23864364159297819872010-04-18T09:38:40.237-05:002010-04-18T09:38:40.237-05:00Why do we start blogging???

In food blogging this has even greater importance to me, because we share our passion for food with other food freaks (freaks meant as a term of endearment here).<br /><br />Why do we continue blogging???<br />Two fold for me. First, it is like the pencil marks when you measure your kids height on a wall year after year. I can look back and see the progress I have made. Second, blogging continues to make me grow, learn new things, expand my culinary horizons and skills. <br /><br />Why do we stop blogging???<br />I will when it stops being fun or I no longer learn from it.<br /><br />Why do we return to blogging???<br />Let's face it, they missed us (ha ha).Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14861482393432330011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6776710088092855973.post-5598733371605322862010-04-18T09:33:51.589-05:002010-04-18T09:33:51.589-05:00Dave.

Thanks so much for welcoming me back in such a huge way and for sending encouragement my way when I needed it. Although the food, the writing, the photos and the appetite were major reasons for returning to blogging, friends like you (and so many others I've met in the wonderful community of foodie-bloggers) weighed in right at the top, as well! Such a wonderful, supportive community and I'm so glad to a part of it again!! Thanks again for the fabulous welcome-back...and your shepherd's pie looks awesome (lovin' the use of the tater salad)...if only I could have eaten it after a fabulous day in the salt-water. ahhhhhhh...... :)Heather S-Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02722720171083290211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6776710088092855973.post-55078445999656001832010-04-18T08:49:31.994-05:002010-04-18T08:49:31.994-05:00I miss Palidor and Donna also, but I'm so glad...I miss Palidor and Donna also, but I'm so glad that Heather has returned!
