I went to the Foodbuzz Festival in San Francisco last weekend, and all I got were these silly photo booth pictures with my dear friend Tracy of Shutterbean.
Ok…. that’s entirely untrue.
I walked away from the Foodbuzz Festival with more kitchen gear than I could carry, pockets full of fellow food blogger business cards, and a belly full of incredible food.
A room full of food bloggers means a room full of cameras. So many. Rather than crowd around and take pictures of food…. I just took pictures of people taking pictures of food. Weird. I know.
This also happened…
…which was extremely surprising and extremely exciting. The fact that I ran off the stage after accepting this award adds to my charm, right? First I blushed. Then I stumbled a bit. I dropped my phone. I might have thrown in an awkward curtsy… and then I ran.
Thank you to every single one of you who voted for me. Seriously, friends. This means a lot to me.
Also… a big, fat, wet kiss to all of the darling people at Foodbuzz who put such a belly filling event together for us. I hella heart you Foodbuzz. And Tracy…. we’ve had heart-to-hearts at two different blog conventions…. we’re totally friends now, like it or not.

BTW, you should definitely put yourself in for Bon Appetit’s “BlogEnvy” competition. Seriously – the recipes you grace us with could totally do laps around some of the nominees. It’s a self-entry kind of thing, otherwise I would have been the first to throw your name into the hat. So… yeah. Go and enter so we can vote for you!
