The Milestone
Any time you read a blog for a while, you get used to the layout. The story is over there, the ads are on that side. Eventually you don’t even notice the ads.
But if you look over there to the right today, just under the link for the book, is a new graphic with the subscription link. As of this morning there are more than a thousand subscribers. Woo-hoo!
That number wouldn’t be there if it weren’t for lots of you Stumbling your favorite dishes, doing your own versions and linking back here, or pointing your friends and family this way. I can’t thank each of you individually, but believe me when I say I appreciate every single time someone offers me a virtual “thumbs up”.

Congrats on the milestone. That is awesome!
Wow–a thousand readers? Props to you.
I already posted my family recipe. I don’t have a thousand readers, but the one person who has actually made it so far really liked it. So I’ll accept that as a success, since I had my doubts that anyone who didn’t grow up on red beans and rice would love it as much as I do.
That’s awesome!! Congrats
) What a great idea to offer up blogging a recipe for those of us that don’t yet have a blog.
well done & good luck with the second book….I'd love to even do a first!!
Thanks, all. I was starting to think it would never happen, so this is really cool.
Kristin, the last (only) time I like red beans and rice was when we cooked it over an open fire on a beach in the Bahamas on my honeymoon. But I’ll try yours, it looks good.
R2S, you can do one. Write up two recipes per week starting now, and you’ll have a book by this time next year. Like Seth Godin says, drip … drip … drip … It adds up.
Congrats! You have a great blog, it doesn’t surprise me at all.
I’m happy my bread recipe was good for your site–you made my day! Your blog is actually the only one I read everyday… I’ve glanced at others, but I really like yours. Your pictures were the “catch” that got me hooked. And your readers post good comments!
Congrats Drew! That’s a lot of readers. I can’t even get all 60 of mine to comment – jerks.
Let’s all go leave a comment on Sweet Bird’s site. And tell her how ridiculously good her food pictures are. Holy cow, that looks good.
And by the way, I’m signing that petition in the right column.
That’s because you’re friggin’ cool Drew, that’s because you’re friggin’ cool.
Drew, I have several hundred recipes (my own)….so how do you take the transition into a book?
Sweet Bird, no I’m not. Just ask my kids.
