cooking, food blogging, frugal, gtd, me, stoveless, versatile blogger award
Oh my! When I started Stoveless, I had no idea how warm and welcoming the food blogosphere was. I’d only done a few posts on my personal blog about food, and photos of my stuff always got Tastespotting-rejected. 
The other day, I was browsing Charles’ amazing (and recently updated!) Five Euro Food and to my great delight found not only incredible quince creations, but also a nomination for the Versatile Blogger award!
I guess the rules go something like:
- nominate 7 more bloggers
- give 7 factoids about yourself
Here goes!–in no particular order…
7 Versatile and Va-Va-Voomfabulous Bloggers
- Patrice At A Single Mom’s Adventure In Urban Homesteading–awesome mom, frugal foodie, and fabulous farmer.
- Adrienne at A Taster’s Notes–a supertaster par excellence introducing, describing and exploring a myriad of affordable, rare, or just plain adventurous wines…California-style!
- Debra at Culiblog–socially conscious, always inventive, ever-inspiring.
- Nick at Frugal Feeding–great recipes for us gourmands on a budget
- Jenna at Jenna’s Everything Blog–fabulous photos of her charmed life, but also very delicious and creative recipes!
- Cat at The Verdant Life–vegan, seasonal, organic: need I say more?
- Cynthia at Life As A Feast–long-time pal and fabulous pianist taking the California food world by storm, one restaurant and recipe at a time!
and…
some short tidbits about yours truly:
- I’m from Davis, California born and raised, and went to school in Walla Walla, Washington (what a name!)
- Piano playing is one of my first loves, and I performed Prokofiev’s Third Concerto with my college orchestra
- I modeled for a Chinese T-shirt company in Beijing (!)
- This blog was started in conjunction with my exploration of GTD (Getting Things Done) and David Allen’s book of that title. I aim to focus on efficient, delicious, environmentally conscious cooking while integrating time management and organization into all aspects of my life!
- A dream of mine is to host “secret” dinner parties involving many handmade tealight lanterns, colorful tablecloths, and plenty of stoveless snacks! (maybe a few non-stoveless nibbles, too)
- My senior thesis was a painting series of Myspace photos from anonymous profiles
- I collect vintage clothing, beach rocks, and gum wrappers (don’t ask!)
THANKS 4 READING!
and especially, thanks again to Charles for the nomination!
Walla Walla, sounds almost Aboriginal Australian, haha. I always love hearing what sound like really strange place names and wondering how they came to be. Do you know there’s a place in France called “Y”
What do you mean by “secret” dinner parties? Where nobody knows what they’re invited to, or…? Loved reading the tidbits and looking forward to checking out the other blogs you mentioned too! Hope you’re having a good day 
Thanks for the shout-out, Joanna!
