Diary of The Food Whore: So, um....

So, um....

January 10, 2006

I've been trying to figure out how to post this without coming across as a completely arrgant pain in the ass.

So I decided to go the Humble and Grateful route. Which I am both - humble and grateful.

Last week I got an e-mail informing me that I have been nominated in a couple of categories in the 2005 Blog Awards over at The Accidental Hedonist.

This is a fabulous honor and I am very, very grateful for being nominated. So thank you.

And, you know. You can go vote if you like. But you don't have to. Because asking you to vote would seem like I am saying, "Go vote for me!", which I am totally not. It's not about winning. It's just really cool to be nominated with the other fabulous blogs out there.

Though if I did win that would not be the worst thing, right? But I am not saying that if I don't win I would be bummed out. Because I wouldn't.

Though winning would be fabulous.

I am totally ok with winning.

Or not.

FW, not only are you nominated for Kate's Food Blog awards, but I've sent in a nomination on the Bloggies for: 1) Best American 2) Best Humor and 3) Best Food Blog. Don't know if you'll make the final cut on any of them, but if I were running the game you would!

Congratulations and thanks for all the laughs!

Unlurking to say: I will be more than pleased to cast a vote for you - you brighten up my barren workplace and besides, its the least I can do for you for introducing me to Lemon Drops.

You're damn right I voted for you. And I voted for the other funniest thing: the post about the guy who ate live tentacles ("Reader's Choice").

You make me laugh. Fanx.

Because you are modest too, I cast my vote for you!

I enjoy your blog. I laughed so hard I almost coughed up a lung.

Tootles,

Anni

FW,

You SO deserve this! You are honest, funny and you share your recipes. :) What more could we ask for?

Heading over to vote right now.

Your posts make me laugh so hard. Way more than any other blog. How could I NOT vote for you?

I stumbled upon your diary onbe night and read it every chance I could till I caught up. Having once been in the industry it made it great to sit here and laugh at the horrid people you deal with! I voted for you too!

OK, that was easy. Go to the site, click the bubbles next to The Food Whore, and I'm done. Easiest thing I did all day.

I used to cater. I'm now an estimator for a large General Contractor. Go figure.

Love the blog and was delighted to vote for you.

Voted for you twice in recognition of the entertainment you provide. And I sympathize completely about your grocery store foibles. That's why Whole Foods was invented....

Keep it up!
