My little blog is almost 6 months old! Thinking of the holiday, Amiablelife and I would like to thank the following people for their support:
-Dale & George Hocking–My in-laws are incredibly nice people who don’t like sharing their recipes. However, they are always happy to feed me and let me practice taking pictures of the food: http://amiablelife.com/chicken/fathers-day/
-Carole Sherman–Aunt Carole was the first person to volunteer to be interviewed for Amiablelife. She and her friend Jacek answered questions, provided recipes and the start to this blog: http://amiablelife.com/hungarian/smacznego/
-Dr Marissa & Dr Jon Gefen–Despite being new parents, Marissa & Jon opened up their home for a BBQ. Thanks to them as well as our friends Bri & Mike for letting me dominate the conversation with endless food questions: http://amiablelife.com/spinach/gefen-junior/
-Elayne Lever–Gram Elayne showed me how to make her 50-year-old latke recipe. I ate pounds of delicious potatoes and heard some great stories from yesteryear. http://amiablelife.com/amiableeats/latkes-for-lunch/
-Janice James–Having eaten at Janice’s a few times, I can tell you that anything she makes is tasty and healthy. On this occasion, it was a family favorite, Pork Chops with Apples: http://amiablelife.com/amiableeats/pork-chops-and-applesauce/
-Cindy Burke–Have you ever called up a total stranger and asked for their secret chocolate chip cookie recipe? That’s what happened with Cindy and she was incredibly nice to share it with me. http://amiablelife.com/amiableeats/fighting-irish-chocolate-chip-cookies/
-Dara Lovitz–Taking a break from fighting for the rights of animals, Dara shared her vegan recipes and philosophy. I learned about things I didn’t even know existed. Nutritional yeast can be yummy: http://amiablelife.com/amiableeats/vegan-macaroni-and-cheese/
-Donyetta Robinson–On a warm October evening, Donyetta made me a chili so good that it made my own recipe taste bland. Her son, Wayne Jr was a delightful dinner companion: http://amiablelife.com/chili/donyetta/
-Gary White–My brother-in-law through marriage, I’m lucky that Gary is also my friend. Food at Gary’s house is always delicious and plentiful; his wife (my sis-in-law) Loren is lovely and his daughters are my two favorite kids in the world: http://amiablelife.com/amiableeats/familymanfriedchicken/
-Bri Harmstead–I can’t get enough sweets. I’m really addicted and Bri was nice enough to help feed the monkey on my back. Thanks to her and her friends/neighbors, I enjoyed some incredible cookies: http://amiablelife.com/amiableeats/cookie-monster/
-Thanks to people whose posting will be coming up in December/January: David Katz, Gail Brown, Karen Lefebvre-Christou, Julia James and the Swiss Pastry Shop.
-Thanks to my sister-in-law Shelley and her boyfriend Craig – both great people and incredible cooks who continue to inspire my work.
-Thanks to my little sister Julie and her husband Mike for their edits, thoughts on marketing and general support.
-Thanks to my little sister Molly for being brave enough to buy her own pots and pans.
-Thanks to the farmers who raised the food I ate for this blog and thanks to the animals and vegetables who gave their lives so I could enjoy some tasty meals.
-Most of all, thanks to my husband Kevin who patiently lets me take pictures of his food even though he is really, really hungry. He also bravely eats whatever I cook/bring home and never complains when my cookies taste like sand. He is the best husband ever and I’m grateful for his love and support. http://amiablelife.com/topics/kevin/
Wishing everyone a happy Thanksgiving –Amy
