Our Fifth Blogiversary

Franknews20 Comments

 

Folks,

Just a quick note. I am writing this back-dated post on July 13, as I just remembered that June 27 was the 5th ‘blogiversary‘ of Memorie di Angelina.

I can still remember posting that first post back in 2009. Back then, the blog was just a way to share some recipes and what I called ‘food stories’ with friends and family. It’s been a long journey since then! In the interim, the readership has grown by leaps and bounds, I’ve learned a thing or two about recipe writing and (most of all) food photography, and the blog has earned some recognition here and there. But I’d like to think that the basic concept for the blog is still the same—it’s just that these days we have a few more friends to share our stories and recipes with…

Thanks again to all our regular readers for your support, your thoughtful messages and comments and, most of all, for sticking with us through the years. And to our new readers, my message on this fifth blogiversary is the same as that very first post: welcome!

Happy cooking!

Frank

    A belated congrats, Frank. Your blog has been my favorite for awhile, and as I consider myself something of an amateur Italian chef, your work here has been outstanding education and fun. Thank you.

    Dear Frank, Happy anniversary, Please, Please keep going, your blog is the most original and I cannot wait to open on monday and see what you have cooking for us. Certamente la cucina casalinga e´la migliore di tutte, basta sentire quando uno cucina agli amici e loro ricordano la cucina delle loro mamme e nonne. Io come toscano cerco sempre di arrangiare cualcosa che ci riporta meravigliosamente indietro con il tempo e che non ci fa´scordare le nostre radici. Una canzone, un profumo, un aroma fanno parte della nostra esistenza, specilamente cuando uno e´lontano dai suoi luoghi nativi.
    Un forte abbracci e come si dice na noi….Tante belle cose…..
    Vittorio.

    P.S. Oggi mo hanno portato un po´di lardo di colonnata, ho fatto delle bruschette dell´altro mondo, accompagnate con un buon vino chianti…….

    And you have gone international sharing your blog with the world. I not only draw inspiration from here in England, but even used it when I was working in Papua New Guinea!!
    Congratulations, and keep up the sterling work.
    Best regards

We'd love to hear your questions and thoughts! And if you tried the recipe, we'd love to hear how it went!
