Casual Kitchen's First Anniversary!

I've now reached my first anniversary blogging at Casual Kitchen, and I'd like to take a brief moment to thank all of my readers out there for reading, commenting and participating. It's been a privilege and a pleasure to write for you. I had no idea it would be so fun and personally satisfying to write a blog.

At its beginning in December 2006, this blog was obligatorily read by perhaps a dozen or so family members and friends. Today, Casual Kitchen often gets several hundred hits per day--not quite enough traffic to quit my day job, but certainly enough to make writing for this blog a deeply gratifying experience.

Thank you!
