Exciting News!

I started this blog really just to keep my family up to speed on my kitchen activities when I moved to D.C. You see, they were the primary recipients of my kitchen experiments and I really missed having such willing guinea pigs around to eat my goodies. But I also knew that I didn't want to get take-out all of the time or eat cereal for dinner every night. I'm not hating, just stating! I've done cereal and take out a whole lot and I'm tired of it. Anyway, I got hooked on reading food blogs last summer and then I finally decided to take the plunge. This was sort of a big decision for me. I love paper and pens. I don't have a Facebook account (although, Dudley and I have a bet . . . if he ever follows through then Facebook is in my future), I don't Twitter or MySpace. I admit that I'm hopelessly addicted to my email but other than that, I'm a technophobe. It took me forever to figure out how to even work this dang blog!! I never thought that I would even make my blog public but then I found TWD and I haven't looked back.

Things on this blog look so much nicer now, no? And, unfortunately I can't take any of the credit because it belongs to Shannon at 8 Crazy Design. She is a powerhouse and I am still amazed at how perfect she made my blog look for me. She did such a fantastic job taking my random, very scattered thoughts, and creating a new and fun look for the Singleton's Kitchen. If only my real kitchen was as cute as my blog. Someday . . . anyway, I can't say enough great things about her.

And then, what do you know, this blog has been featured by Kim, the super creative and energetic force behind Today's Creative Blog. So, what do you know, little 'ole me, and my kitchen adventures are popping up elsewhere in this crazy thing called the blogosphere. It's sort of baffling but I will admit to being pretty tickled over it.

So, thanks to Shannon, for making my blog look so pretty! And thanks to Kim for giving me such a special shout out. Both of them have fantastic blogs so be sure and check them out! And, because a picture's worth a thousand words, here's a picture of some of my favorite people back in Texas. This picture was taken in my grandmother's kitchen over Christmas (the same kitchen that she's made crepes in for years and years), and no, I didn't cook anything the night that this picture was taken! The ladies in my family all reign supreme in their kitchens . . . so if you want to cook, you have to stake out your own territory!
