It’s Thursday Night Smackdown’s third birthday!
When I started, I never EVER thought TNS would become what it has been – that it would be such a big part of my life, that people would actually pay attention, that it would lead to the opportunities it has, that I would meet the amazing people I’ve met.
This is, of course, all thanks to you, my fabulous readers.
To say thank you, I’m giving away two cookbooks of a reader’s choice from the Smackdown Book Index. Just leave a comment on this post before midnight on Friday. Number generator Brian will pick someone at random, and s/he will get whichever two cookbooks his or her little heart desires (I’m happy to offer recs, of course).
Thank you thank you thank you! TNS readers are the best readers there are.
This post is a unique and delicate snowflake - there are NO RELATED POSTS...yet....

Thanks and congratulations on a great site! I am pretty sure you will be singlehandedly responsible if I ever muster the courage to cook something.
Happy Anniversary! Thank you for three years of snark, gorgeous food that I want to make RIGHT NOW, and adorable, yet heinously overpriced, ceramics. Keep it coming for many more years!
Your awesome blog makes normal awesome look pathetic. Thanks for inspiring and entertaining.
