All this travel over the past few days left the refrigerator more or less empty and I was too tired to go out and do some proper food shopping. I walked down the road to an acquaintance’s vegetable stand and I bought myself zucchini and radishes but that was all she had, this summer hasn’t been kind to her garden, the weather was off; either too hot and dry or too cool and wet. The zucchini was perfect for me but what to make for the menfolk?

This is where the frittata comes in handy, I had left over ham and Swiss cheese, coupled with a generous helping of minced garlic and chopped onion, the chives from out back and thyme as well, add that to ten eggs with some Pecorino cheese, salt and pepper and hooray! Dinner is served.

My baby boy loved it, he is easy to cook for,as is my baby girl, she would have loved it as well. I miss her, sniff, sniff.

That’s all I got, I’m a little frustrated, the red, burning rash with bumps is back on my rib cage from last summer and the summer before that. The first time I had it, the doctor said it was the Shingles but how can it be Shingles again, the same spot and now it is the third time that I am dealing with it, weird. I am going to take it easy and not move for the next several days, this is why frittata’s are so great, barely any work to make and everyone is happy.

Secret of Success

What would it take for you to consider yourself a “successful blogger”? Is that something you strive for?

It all depends on your definition of "successful blogger" and the reason why you created your blog. I started my blog almost as a lark or an experiment. I wanted to start writing and I wanted to see if I could develop the discipline to write on a daily basis. Enjoying it the way I do has been a fantastic surprise and making the friends that I have, has made it beyond special.

Since I started my blog with a set of pretty low expectations I would consider my blog to be successful because I have been writing every day for the past two and a half years and I enjoy it more today than I did when I first started. The fact that my therapist broke up with me because my writing had given me the stability and the space to put my anxieties, my worries, my excess thoughts and my hangups so that I felt better, proves to me that writing every day is one of the best decisions that I have ever made. So in my opinion, I am a successful blogger and I am a very lucky person to have found a very nurturing environment filled with such lovely people and wonderful friends.
