Sweet and Crazy 2009
New Years resolutions are hopeless promises to improve ourselves that eventually get broken. Well, at least it is in our case. That’s why we don’t make resolutions to eliminate our vices in a feeble attempt to clear a new path for a better life in the new year. We know we have issues, extreme tendencies and severe obsessions that warrant change. So we set goals for ourselves every day of the year, therefore everyday is a focus to be better people. We do try our best. Or maybe we just need therapy!
2008 was an extremely monumental year for us because it was the year of the blog. We had started writing a few random thoughts down on our simple Mac blog to share with family and friends in Spring 2007 (which no one ever visited). But it wasn’t until January 2008 (exactly one year ago!) that we discovered all of your food blogs (yes, we lived in a cave, in our garden). We spent hours exploring our very first food blogs from all around the world and were amazed at how large, talented, and well connected this blogging community is. Receiving our first comment in mid-January 2008 (thanks NakedSushi!!) was thrilling and everything else just evolved from there. Since then, our world has changed, completely.
Thank you for all of your support and blog friendship! We look forward to 2009, to more blogging, cooking, traveling, gardening, and sharing and we hope that somewhere along the way, we’ll slowly try to improve on all our vices that we mentioned in the above picture (expect for the ones we don’t want to change.)
Marilyn from Simmer Till Done asked to interview us for her Tell Simmer series! What an honor that was to be asked by the wonderful Marilyn! To know Marilyn, her amazing blog, beautiful writing and wonderful recipes is to LOVE HER!
Marilyn’s interview of us discloses more facts and vices about us. We share “a baker’s dozen of questions about what we eat, what we dream about eating, and where to get the best pizza”, so please stop by her blog for the interview and leave your comments there !
Happy New Year to everyone! May 2009 bring you and your family a bounty of health, happiness & delicious foods!

It’s been a great year reading your blog, keep up the great work! 🙂
Todd and Diane, it was a pleasure having you over at Simmer – the way you blog and share your energy is such a delicious natural extension of who you are. Happy New Year to you both!
Wow, I had no idea your blog was so young and that I was the first commenter. When I found WhiteOnRice and its pictures, I thought you guys were old hands and pros at this blogging thing.
Not only are you both talented, you’re adorable! I love that picture. Hope 2009 is an even better year than 2008 for both of you.
Happy New Year, and congratulations on a year of blogging! It’s a lot of work to maintain a blog as beautiful as this one. Looking forward to year two, and wishing you both all good things in 2009.
Happy New Year to you guys too. I can’t believe it has been only 1 year since you guys started blogging, you look so professional!
May you have everything you wish for and then some in 2009.
great photo 🙂 happy new year!
Happy New Year to you both, Todd & Diane! I hope that 2009 brings you all you ever dreamed of! I’m so grateful to have gotten to know you. You are both awesome!
