I was getting ready to write a post and noticed that the last one was my 999th. So I decided to take a look at my most read entries. And I am beginning to think that I should just rename this blog "The Library Lady COOKS", because it's mostly my recipes that seem to get hits!
But I'm a dilettante. As my banner says around here it's "Family. Books. Politics. Just Plain Kvetching"
So I'll keep up with the recipes. But I also intend to keep on kvetching about anything and everything for my next thousand posts. So here's
MY THIRTEEN MOST POPULAR (AT LEAST IN HITS) POSTS:
13) We Are All Immigrants This is the one political post that made it onto this list. I wanted to remind people that ALL of our families came here with the same dream, that most of us were discriminated against when we came, and why we should WELCOME immigrants.
12) Roasted Brussels Sprouts w/Garlic Don't tell me you don't like these little sweeties until you've tried them this way!
11) Butternut Squash "Risotto" Baked in the oven, this is easy and healthy--it's a "Cooking Light" recipe.
10) Aglio Ollio Pasta with garlic and olive oil. Fast, easy and a favorite of my garlic addicted spouse!
9) Pancit Canton The Filipino equivalent of lo mein, there are a million variations on this recipe. This version is from my sister-in-law Rosie, one of the best cooks on earth. Everyone who tastes it wants the recipe!
8) Chocolate Pavlova This is from Nigella Lawson. JR has asked for this as a birthday cake!
7) Arroz con Pollo Chicken and rice. Sausage gives it zip. A favorite crock pot recipe.
6) Hummus There are lots of recipes forthis dip, but I like this simple version. More garlic, of course....
5) Beef Stroganoff Another crock pot winner.
4) Story Times Well, I AM "The Library Lady"! I promise to get back to updating this page one of these years ....
3) The Recipe File All of the recipes in this list, plus all the others I've posted are here.
2) Turkey Meatballs No garlic in these, just onions. These also work perfectly with ground beef. Either way they are a kid favorite at my house
AND (DRUM ROLL)
The top blog post I've done is:
1)Enlighten the Gentiles #9: Toches
But why is this post so popular? Why did it get thousands of hits more than any other post?
Because it used to feature a picture of Bart Simpson and HIS toches!!!!!
And I say USED to because I've since removed it. DOH!
And that's all there is for another thousand posts...................
