... and to catch up on homework - to say the least! Whilst I'm busy pondering about how to give this blog a different look before (hopefully) resuming my usual blogging routine, it's high time that I display all the wonderful badges I've been given over the last few months! This post is going to get a permanent home in the sidebar under "Fame and (no) Fortune".
Just around the time when my blog turned one year old, I got this wonderful birthday present: My dear friend and fellow blogger Nora of
Life's Smorgasbord awarded me this yummy badge for being a 'droolworthy blogger'. Thank you, Nora!
Only a little later, I was thrilled to win in several categories of
Jugalbandi's
Click event: My photo of floating noodles won in 'originality', made the overall second place, and got the much appreciated readers' choice award. I couldn't have been happier about the outcome!
Earlier this year, Margot of
Coffee&Vanilla nominated me for the 'inspiring food photography' award, and lucky me - I won the public online poll! Now I can proudly display this lovely badge, makes me want to start baking right now..;-)
Around the same time, I was lucky enough to win one of the host awards at the
DoesMyBlogLookGoodInThis competition. Jennifer of
Bake or Break liked my soft pretzels, and I'm so glad she did! I just hope to bake more, photograph more, and blog more, so I can enter this amazing competition again.
And last but not least, it's time to proudly display my Daring Baker's badge - check out the amazing number of
daring bakers worldwide!

Hi Eva,
Small steps are good! If we wait for "big" changes, it may take too long. I too will hopefully post something. I'm not clever enough to make any changes to my template unfortunately. I don't even know how to inset the google search bar- sigh! Great to see that you posted your awards. Congratulations again, they are all well-deserved.
I look forward to tasting your baking adventures ;-)
ciao,
Nora
Hi Nora,
So glad to see that you're still paying attention to this blog - not sure if there are any regular readers left after such a long break..;-)
I can show you how to insert the google bar (that's super simple), I just wished I knew how to display bades in the sidebar with my old template - it's a nightmare...
Anyway, aside from technical issues, I at least have some more culinary projects going on so stay tuned!
Oh my goodness, you're back! Hope you have a great time away :)
Thanks for coming back, Y!
I've had a wonderful wedding - and now I'll have to see if I've forgotten everything about food photography in the meantime...
welcome back :D
Eva, naw, it's all just like riding a bicycle! ;P
Really nice to see you back, Eva.
Some skills are never forgotten so I'm looking forward to your posts.
Btw, I'm totally ignorant when it comes technical computer related stuff. I have been trying to change a few things and this is a site that helped. Maybe it will be useful to you.

Thanks for coming back, Sketchy!
Y - I hope you're right..;-)
Thanks for this hint, Aparna! I'll have a look into it cos I would love to change sooo many things, designing a new header photo, putting on wallpaper, displaying my labels properly - well, that's gonna take a while, I guess...
Congrats on all the awards! Each is well deserved. Will you posting any wedding pics? I know how a wedding can take over your life. My daughter's is a month away.
You should make the miche. Once you figure out the verbage, it's not difficult. It tastes a lot like a German bread to me.
Looking forward to lots more inspiring material on your blog.
Thanks Lynn! Your comment just made me think about putting the over-due report about the wedding on my blog so my German friends will finally get to know the details...
Still haven't revived my sourdough culture but I should plan making the miche - if just for that purpose..;-)
Good luck with your daughter's wedding!
Eva, I've been posting quite a bit lately because I'm currently on holiday and have been using the time to use my long neglected recipe books! I too would love to see some of your wedding photos when you get time to put them up :)
Y, it's done..;-)
