The Dining@Large photo gallery
I don't know if you noticed a new addition to the Web site's picture gallery, my Top 10 Favorite Posts.
When the Web editors asked me to do it, I had a lot of trouble. It turned out that, in spite of all the wonderful food photographs I've used, my favorite posts didn't involve any of them. Awkward.
I also found it was hard to pick my favorites because they are all my children. (OK, not the openings and closings and straightforward news posts, but the quirkier ones.)
I can't imagine what someone coming upon the photo gallery without having read Dining@Large regularly would think of my selection if he or she was expecting posts from a restaurant blog. ...
For instance, why would anyone have a clue as to why my Christmas Day post was entitled "Now THIS is a fridge" if they hadn't seen all the photos of my daughter's empty fridge?
I also had trouble choosing because my favorites were often one in a series: the series of posts about Gailor's fridge, for instance, or Sugar Week, or the cross-country road trip, or our trip to Italy.
Oh, well. I did my best. And I'd be interested in what regular readers think -- if you would have substituted some other post or posts.

Thanks for that trip down memory lane (some of the posts were so old that I was still Darlene and Retired in Elkridge was still Mr. Old Fart!) I immediately remembered all but one. (Must have a few brain cells left.)

I second Dahlink's appreciation EL. I think most of those posts I was still a lurker, trying to mustard up the courage to join in. Glad I did! This blog has been a consistant source of entertainment, enlightenment, and enjoyment. Thanks Elizabeth!

I had forgotten about Editor Kate and The Chicken Head!
