I'm Award Winning, That's Why

Last week amidst my My Dear Jamie Oliver, sir, you are annoying me post I really stepped out with some rather nasty words.  I struck a chord, or several chords, with many people and I read all their comments and emails. And I appreciated ALL of the feedback. Positive and negative, everyone who left a comment made me dig around in my beliefs to see what I really feel. 10 years ago it would have bothered me when people didn't agree with me, I was closed minded. To say I have grown and evolved is putting it mildly. I enjoy tremendously hearing what you think.

Megan over at Kitsch in the Kitchen and Tomato Tots appreciates my ability to say what I feel, not so much what I said but that I had the guts to say what I felt. She actually doesn't particularly agree with me in that post and states it in the comments. Do I dislike her for her opinion? Heck no.  I respect her as much as she respects me. Tolerance, it makes the world go around. And it gets me awards, for having gonads, who would have thought, hunh? Thanks Megan for the Stiletto Award and you all should really check her out because while I whine about J.O. Megan is proactively doing something to get kids to eat healthy foods. I will be sharing this award soon so strut your stuff people lets see what you've got going on.

 And Miss Christina of Dinner at Christina's gifted me with the Kreativ Blogger award, thanks Christina!

I have to share 7 factoids about myself:
I'm boring
but I have a funky grey stripe growing in my hair so that's cool(ish)
and while I am an Alaska Master Gardener I literally CAN NOT get zucchini to grow(to my eternal shame)
also currently 3 baby turkeys, 24 incubating eggs and a worm composter are co-habitating with us
today I bought a vintage console record player for 15 dollars, works perfectly, found the same one on ebay for $1,000 SCORE
and apparently I am forward, blunt, pushy and somewhat bitchy-tell me something I don't know, right?
Oh, I am participating in the Food Bloggers Nationwide Bake Sale for Share Our Strength, a bake sale for MULTIPLE bloggers to come together(LA has like 50 at one sale), I am the only one in Alaska who can/will/wants to do it, I set a goal of 500 dollars to be raised-BOOYAH!!! Come by and see me April 17th, Fireside Books, 720 Alaska Street, Palmer Alaska 10am-2pm-buy some treats or donate at the top of my blog through paypal
