As the title of this post suggests, it’s a BIG day. I am 30 years old today. Last year on my birthday I posted about how I wanted to go to Napa, and that is where I am today!
The second piece of news is that The Kittchen turns 2 today! I love this crazy place called the blogosphere. The Kittchen has changed so much in the past year. The site got a big makeover, and a bit of press. I have become very involved in the Chicago blogging community. I have made some wonderful new friends and attended incredible events. My blogging friends are simply the best – they are the cheerleaders in my corner, and I am so grateful for their encouragement.
And finally, perhaps the biggest news of all: The Gourmet Grilled Cheese Cookbook ebook is out! Self publishing a book is one of the most challenging things I have ever accomplished. (Writing my thesis for my MA was actually easier). Right now the ebook is available, and hardcover will be available in a few weeks. You can purchase the ebook directly from this site by clicking on the “Buy now” tab on the right.
With two years of blogging under my belt, I would like to send out a big thank you to all of my readers. I truly appreciate your support.
With all of that being said, I am off to spend the day in Napa drinking wine. I know this all sounds somewhat glamorous – but I assure you spending last weekend writing 6 posts for this site, and 6 guest posts for other sites in sweats, while drinking beer and cheering for the Red Sox, was not glamorous at all.
