50 Best Food Blogs

Last week, the Times posted an article with the world's best food blogs. Shockily, my blog was not among them (I am joking of course). I do follow one or two of these, but there are so many I have not heard of. It looks like I have some reading ahead of me :)
Happy Reading!

Don't Cry Over Spilled Milk Day

.

Today, February 11 is Don't Cry Over Spilled Milk Day.

So remember that every once in awhile milk spills, things happen. Try to remain optimistic, think happy thoughts, be happy with yourself and the things around you. Things do not have to be perfect and it is okay if they are not.

Spill some milk!
