It's been ages since I've actually written a post. I got stuck and couldn't get myself out. I'm still stuck. I do cook everyday...and I love it, so am sharing those pics until I can dislodge myself from this non-writing rut I am in.
I want to take this opportunity to thank those who support my blog..either by making comments or by just stopping by to browse. It's nice when people comment. When they don't, it's kinda like someone walking thru your house without bothering to say hi. Then again, I totally get that sometimes saying, "that looks good" over and over feels stupid [or, that looks like crap]. My blog hasn't exactly inspired deep thoughts for quite some time.
So, I'll see what I can do about that in the future. Not that it has to inspire deep thoughts...it can just tickle a little, or a lot.
Thank you, on Reader Appreciation Day, for dropping by to see what's up. I know I appreciate the blogs I support...always good to drop in and say "hi, happy you're still around."

About Me
Melody Elliott Koontz is my name but my friends call me Mel or Melly. I can't remember what I did yesterday, so don't complain about what I wrote yesterday.Expect the unexpected and go with the flow. It's a blog about food, cooking, life, death..and everything in between.
Many thanks to my blog editor/designer and friend, Lori Hahn. My blog would look like crap if it weren't for her.My thanks to Mike Harris for his help with the header photos. I wish he was closer so he could take all of my food photos! Freeze Frame Photography rocks

I love your blog. Lots of other people do too...but we are all SHY. Well, except me...I'm SHY, but I mouth off anyway.
Your blog gets better and better - thank YOU for writing.
I love your blog, but I'm, ah, you know, from the ancient irish school of horrible cooking, so most of the time I don't know what you're talking about, or recognize any of the food pictures.
If you ever boil a bunch of stuff (for instance, innards and cabbage) for-ev-ah and fill the neighborhood with the *stench of poverty, take a picture and I'll comment.
*credit for that phrase goes to some irish cookbook that I read.
love ya, Melly!
HI!! I stopped by...thank you for stopping by my blog. you captured my thoughts exactly about people who don't leave comments. this IS an interactive thing, is it not?
I've had several periods when I stopped blogging altogether. When it's right, you'll know it.
Lori..thanks to you, my blog has been dressed up twice!!
Peg..you crack me up.
TD..I know you are right..about knowing when it's right.
Thanks for stopping by and saying "hi". :)
Your other half wants to say hi and agrees with what Lori says, your blog does just keep getting better. Thank you for sharing your life with me.
How about baby back ribs or a tri-tip this weekend?
If I stop by and say "Hi" can I get in on the BBQ ribs and Tri-tip??? YUMMO!
Your blog is fun and I check in every few days. Plus since my family is featured from time to time it's the closest I get to seeing our name in "lights" :O)
XOXOX <3 <3 <3 Great work!
P.S. After a week here I am sure you will be inspired to write something!
DH..awwww. Thanks honey. I say we you make both! Maybe we could trade some ribs for some of Ann's pie??
DDIL...you can stop by anytime. Yes..I will be inspired after a week there!
HI!
Fun read!
Uh oh, I'm one of those people who walks through, picks through all your personal stuff and then doesn't say a word. I'm rude but I like that about me. I like you too.
