Something to Think About

Katie from Thyme for Cooking kindly named me a Thinking Blogger. I am both humbled and flattered.

Here's my problem: I must name five more thinking bloggers. And frankly, every blog listed to the left of these words deserves that designation. If they didn't, they wouldn't be there. I like blogs you can sink your teeth into.

Yes, some may seem a bit more erudite than others. But I have been impressed with the range of talent and skills out there. So narrowing it down to five is tough. All bloggers seem to be thinkers. But OK, I will rise to the challenge.

I set some rules for myself.

(1) I am choosing only from my list.

(2) I am not choosing anyone already named by Katie.

(3) I am limiting my choices to food blogs.

Here goes:

  • Ceres & Bacchus

  • Frugal Cuisine

  • Daily Bread Journal

  • Dine and Dish

  • Tummy Treasure

  • I chose these blogs for my short list because the bloggers have a thoughtful approach to feeding their families or themselves. They are creative, which requires thought.

    I get the feeling that they put thought into their posts and they seem to have fun doing it.

    Now that I've done this, I feel bad because I had to leave people out.

    So, if your blog is listed to the left, I hereby dub you a Thinking Blogger.

    Mimi,
    Wow. I'm so happy to be recognized. Now I'll have to be thinking about who makes me think. Other than you, of course. Thanks.

    Umm...I guess I need to get on with this one. It is difficult to make such a short list.

    Mimi said...

    Tanna, this was tough! Good luck.

    I would personally like to thank my husband, who made this award possible with his neverending quest for something to eat, and my children, in their constant battle to be picky eaters, and of course my parents for giving me tha ability to think in the first place... And of course, Mimi for her graciousness in sharing her award with me. I am honored. :-)

    Well done Mimi! Great choices!
    It was hard, wasn't it?
    Best of all - you gave me a new blog to read! Could you also find some more hours in the day for me? Mine seem to disappear so quickly...
    Thanks for participating.

    Mimi said...

    Erika, you deserve this - I am always delighted by the thought you put into meals and posts.

    Katie, it was the hardest thing I've done this week.

    I am so honored to be one of the ones you chose Mimi!
    The pressure is on....
    Thank you so much for the nod and congrats on your nomination. Your blog is one of my all time favorites. I love everything about it!

    I'll get on this right away.

    Mimi said...

    Kristen, your blog is one of my favorites, too. I am in awe at some of the stuff you do!

    Husband said...

    We've always adored you because your blog is equal parts erudition and heart, so it's not suprising someone else agrees.

    Mimi said...

    Husband, you are obviously a thinking blogger as well! How is the family?

    Lydia said...

    Mimi, you are the definition of a thinking blogger!

    Very honored, Mimi! This was really a bright spot in a blah cooking week for me - two dishes that I thought might become posts turned out not worthy. Thanks again.

    Mimi said...

    Thank you, Lydia. That is indee high praise coming from someone like you!

    Pepper, I have had those weeks. I have photos and photos of ideas that went awry somewhere between the mixing and the cooking or baking or whatever. Hang in there!
