Some time between all of that, I was tagged with a Thinking Blogger Award! I'm happy that some part of this blog has resonated with some of you out there, even though, personally, I feel I'm doing more thinking these days than actual blogging! Nevertheless, I'm proud to wear the badge, so thanks to Mooncrazy of Peanut Butter Etouffee for the prize!Since this is a meme, I'll continue the tradition with my pick of 3 blogs that really make me think, although there are many that come to mind.
David Lebovitz - Having lived in Paris, I feel so close to the topics he chronicles and inspired that he does so in such depth and with such passion for France and all it has to offer. Although I tried my best to devour everything to be found in Paris, David takes it to an entirely different level and I'm transported back there whenever I read his blog. The way he points out the idiosyncrasies of the French language and people truly makes me laugh and cry at the same time.
Tea and Cookies - Tea started her fabulous blog around the time I was starting mine and after having read only a little of her writing, I knew I would be going back again and again. Once I realized she was also a former American Expat, I knew our common experience would link us in a way that few others can understand. Her words and wisdom make me think about this crazy life a little bit differently and her honesty and thoughtfulness make me strive for those qualities in my own writing.
Do I just love cookies? Maybe. But, Milk and Cookies is another blog that I enjoy for quite a few reasons but mostly because of the fantastic photography, yummy recipes and the simple fact that JenJen blogs from Australia, meaning that I can read about cool ice cream treats in the dead of winter and autumn dishes in the spring, transporting me away to another season and another place.
So many more I could mention, but that will do for now. More recipes soon!

Aww, you are so sweet! Thanks for the very kind words--and three cheers for former expats, we are never the same, are we? Such compliments, I can only try to live up to them:-)

Wow, I am very flattered and honoured. I never thought any of my ramblings would be much food for thought, sorry about the cheesy pun, but thanks, its a great compliment.
Congrats!
More new blogs for me to check out.
I was just back in the U.S. - I'm not certain I could go back to live. It would probably be as challenging as when we first left! I suppose that would make it interesting....
