    My internet world has been less without your TNS postings.. This quote is a blast form the past and one of the funniest fuckin things I have ever read :)
    “Why is it that you go to therapy to make yourself feel better, you spend an hour talking about horrible crappy things, and then you leave feeling worse? If I want to feel bad about myself, I could just look at myself naked in a mirror, jump up and down a few times and pocket the $100 bucks.” :D Most of us know who wrote that right!!
    Glad your back!!!

    Happy birthday! I love your blog and was heartbroken when you left. No joke. But geeze loiuse you are so damn young I am now thoroughly depressed. No wonder you have so much energy to cook.

    Your awesomeness made me want to be a food blogger. Then, your awesomeness made me actually BE a food blogger. Then, my laziness and busy-ness stopped me being a food blogger. But I didn’t care, because you are still a food blogger, and TNS is really all I need in the Department of Food Bloggery.

    Great to see you back. Hopefully you are feeling better soon. I’m not sure what we’d do without your awesomeness profanity-ing up the internets.

    Happy New Year to us all! My only eating resolution this year is to eat 5-7 servings of fruit and vegies every single day. I know I can do that and it will make a difference. Then, I eat the good stuff the rest of the time!

    TNS makes my life worth living. Maybe this year I will kick my hubbie out of the kitchen and cook some good food of my own. Thanks for the humor and the inspiration!

    I don’t comment much, but I really enjoy your site and the irreverence you bring to the whole affair. I hope the upcoming year brings you only the best and, selfishly, optimal conditions for blogging. :D
