2011 - Week 22 Cooking

Should I make a squee category?  Anyways, I was sitting down on Friday, flipping through my news feed on Google reader, on my day off.  Skimming through a Bon Appétit article, I see a picture, and I say, hey, I recognize that picture and then I see BA, quoting my site.  So after doing a bit of a squee check I honestly checked in another browser to make sure that I wasn't seeing things and then posted about it. Was most of what I wrote about, really about parmesan?  Sure, but it still provides me some sort of sense of validation and even though I'm not really the best writer, I do make, from time to time, visually appealing food.  Which is really all you can tell from looking at the pictures I take.  On the webmastery side of my life, all I can think about is, how many referral URLs will I get, and baring that, how much search engine validity does this provide me (like Google juice), but that really is the cold logical part of my brain working.  So I am curious how this traffic will play out (so far, there's been minor bump, but my thought is that it's mostly because it was posted on a Friday, where a ton of people where probably taking the day off).  Anyways, It's exciting to me.

Tonight I had leftover pizza, Shannon wasn't hungry.  Tomorrow we'll be having some brats (it's Memorial day, if that's not a grilling-type food day, what is?)
