Our general idea was to introduce our great batter mixes and marinades, and maybe sell enough that I could retire to the beach (actually that was my plan!) I opened our little country store A Pinch of Dis &A Pinch of Dat to make it a little easier to find the products on the blog. I am learning all the links aren't perfect, when in doubt e-mail me!
I had hoped to post bits & pieces about the cafe, some good cookin' recipes, and a little bit about life in the south. I have posted just a pinch of recipes from our cookbooks or our products. We have had a few road trips, and I have tried to share those without boring you to death.
I would have never thought in one year I would 'meet' so many wonderful people from all parts of the world. I thank each one of you who stop in and leave a comment. It is through these comments that I have gotten to know you, and feel like we could sit and chat the afternoon away.
As a special thank you I am having a give away. This is our gift to you for our one year Blogaversary! Leave me a note and I'll put your name in the hat. We will draw for a box of goodies.Thanks y'all for a fun year!
Sandi & Bill

Happy Blogaversary! I love your site!
Hi Bill and Sandi, I'm sitting here chuckling *VBS*, just can't help it. I didn't know there was a Whistle Stop Cafe until today. Being the sort I am, I added Whistle Stop Cafe to my sidebar, as a link, just to see if anyone was paying attention. Then I thought maybe I should Google it and see if I needed to make up a http, or if there really WAS a Whistle Stop Cafe. Imagine my surprise to find your wonderful site AND a blog!! So consider yourself linked!! Hope you have a passel of quilters popping over to see what that Finn is up to now *VBS*
And yes, please DO put me in for your drawing! Hugs, Finn
Just catching up...happy one year! It's been wonderful getting to "know" you through your blog. I especially love the recipes and centerpieces you've shared.
Well darn it I missed the party! Can we just say I'm fashionably late???
Congratulations :)
congratulations on 1 yr!!! way to go!!
