Happy 3rd Birthday, My Little Blogling!
Yes, today my humble little London restaurant blog turns three! My first post ever was about my visit to The Providores, on Marylebone High Street, a locale I’ve returned to many times since–most recently with Howard & Ben–and enjoyed equally each time.
You know…I didn’t set out to write a blog about London restaurants. I actually planned on blogging about the weird and wonderful things I found as an American in London. But to be honest, I just couldn’t drum up the material. (See, this country isn’t so weird after all.) So while I’ll occasionally throw something up over on my other site, I don’t, really.
I debated throwing a party for my blog’s birthday…my friend Sarah suggested returning to the scene of my initial posting. Others suggested a “best of” or a “lessons learned” or setting out a manifesto for the next three years. But the vast majority of people–the non-Internet types–just looked at me like I was crazy. Non-bloggers, they just don’t understand.
So I think what I’ll do instead is spend a quiet night at home. I’ll pop open a bottle of something from Barry, and I’ll toast my little blog and then maybe I’ll tell you about it. Later.
And then I’ll take a break for a bit. (You shouldn’t be able to tell.)
It’s been a good and entertaining three years. Perhaps a few too many servings of foie gras, but thanks for reading, just the same.

“a few too many servings of foie gras”? Impossible!
Happy birthday Krista. Keep it up.

Happy blog birthday, Krista. If you fancy a return to the scene of your first blog post, I’ve been thinking about arranging a food bloggers party there one night before I leave for Catalunya. I thought I’d phone Peter and see if we can arrange a chef’s table on a night when he’s in the restaurant. What do you think?

Trig,
That sounds like a fantastic idea. Keep me posted!
