Very dear readers of Orangette:<\/p>\n
The year draws to a close with good news. My little blog is one of five finalists for the “Best Food Blog\u2014Writing”<\/strong> section of the 2004 Food Blog Awards! To those who nominated me in the first round, a breathless, slobbery “Thank yoooooou!”<\/strong> I owe you kitchenfuls of baked goods filled with expensive chocolate and fancy-pants butter. And to the myriad friends and family who\u2019ve contributed to, appeared in, inspired, and\/or put up with this endeavor, know that Orangette would be nothing\u2014or at least very shrimpy and malnourished\u2014without you.<\/p>\n That said, there’s this final-round business to attend to. A few specifics:<\/em> the voting ballot appears in the right-hand column of the AH homepage, and my category will be the seventh or eighth of a sequence of sixteen to appear. Or, for convenience, click here<\/a> to go directly to the “Best Writing” ballot. If you want to get a glimpse of other finalist blogs, they are listed\u2014along with a link to each\u2014in the center column of the AH homepage. Voting closes at midnight PST on December 31, 2004.<\/p>\n Thanks so much for your tireless support. This blog has been\u2014and continues to be\u2014an absolute blast. I\u2019m blushing wildly, plotting my next food-centric adventure, and rearing to go.
\n
If you feel so moved\u2014and I hope you will\u2014please go to the Accidental Hedonist<\/a> website and cast your vote. And rally your friends and neighbors to do the same! I’m honored to be up against stiff competition and winning isn’t really so important, but the exposure is very, very valuable to this aspiring food writer.<\/p>\n

Happy holidays, everyone.<\/p>\n
