butterfly award

Ivy, a Greek blogger who makes me hungry when I read her recipes over at Kopiaste, recently gave me a cool-blog award! I love butterflies anyway and this one made my day.

I'd like to pass it on to Nina (My Easy Cooking), who always makes amazing food and takes absolutely show-stopping photos, La Fuji Mama, with whom I have a love for Japan (and she makes creative and darn good grub!), Kim (Kim's Kantan Cooking), a blogging/e-mailing friend and fellow expat in Japan who got me started on the pickling road, Carrie (Carrie's Creative Cookery), who makes really healthy yummy-looking food (and you have to admire anyone who's run a marathon!), and Alexander (The Happy Gentleman), a really artsy guy who always has eclectic posts that I enjoy reading and photographs I think are uber cool (I really want to steal that twirly tree header)!
