Well, that was an interesting week!

I've been busy with personal things -- all related to Christmas, as it were -- so I knew this would be a light blogging week. And then Wednesday came along, and I was honored by Disney's Babbles as one of the top #100 Mom Blogs of 2011.

The original article was in the dining section, so I knew where the writer was coming from -- I'm a home cook myself -- but I wasn't about to waste an opportunity to talk about something that has been bothering me for a while, the inefficiencies of school fundraisers.

Plus, they told me I would be in the <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2011/12/14/dining/store-bought-spoils-the-potluck-spirit.html">room for debate</a> section along with other writers I know and admire (and a few new ones!) so
