i haz awards

here are some thank you's and shout outs for awards we (that's me and my blog) received recently. i am seriously flattered that others enjoy my ramblings and most of all it has made all the calories consumed (and there have been thousands upon thousands of them) over the past year well worth it.

Where's my Damn Answer?: DAMN GOOD BLOG AWARD - fellow chowhound Jody aka "jodycakes" is a contributing writer for this ridiculously entertaining blog based out of LA.

I've Got the Munchies by Cory Crow: Houston "Foodie" of the Year - "Jenny of I'm Never Full. And, judging by how much she's eaten, she's not lying either. Jenny is the driving force behind the exploding food movement in Houston known as the Chowhounds. Her organization and promotion of the Miracle Berry Tripping Party at the Social was so effective this, quite possibly was the most covered food event of the year."

Houston Foodie: Best Food Writing: Dec 2008 - "i'm never full blog: A luxurious photo essay and comprehensive write-up of a recent Houston restaurant visit." this was earned from my review of rainbow lodge that also attracted a blog troll in the process. thanks chris who also blogs over at the "eating our words" houston press food blog.

new in '09: writing for 002

if you haven't heard already, yours truly is writing the DineWrite column for 002 magazine. my first review was ruggles green and you can find it in the current issue (Jan 2009) on the streets now. pick one up and take a look-see or just click here for the PDF. the photos are all mine. only three made it to print but you can click on "ruggles green" below to see the other 81 that didn't make it.

I've just wrapped up the DineWrite for the feb issue (which will be a page and a half!) and i have to say: eating and writing about it is the dream job. but what makes me even more warm and fuzzy inside is working with carla and alejandro and the other fine talent at 002. they are sooo supportive! look for more of my writing in the feb issue as i've started stealing the new restaurants page for myself too!
