The Dallas Cook Book: Blogathon Friday

Friday, August 13, 2010

Blogathon Friday

Time to clear off my list of things waiting to be written about, don't know how many I'll be able to get in today - the record is 10, so far. But "other" work intrudes a little, treasurer duties for the school spirit team, financial duties for the restaurant. Oh and around mid-day the Mom Job kicks in, that's when hubby and the Boy leave for a 9 hour caravan drive for College, Year 2. Expect something either about alcohol or crying right about then.

And yes, this counts as post #1.

UPDATE: Where'd she go? You might wonder. Took a shower to get my thoughts organized, and in the process thought of about 5 more things to write about. So I'm making this a two-day Blogathon, overlapping into tomorrow (up until the boss gets home).

DISCLOSURE

This blog does not review restaurants, however from time to time it will "introduce" new places or interesting specials at area restaurants. If any food or items are received as a comp (I never turn down free, but I won't lie for it) the author promises to share that information in the post.

Sometimes the comments can be a bit spicy, especially those of the author. The author reserves the right to refuse to publish those comments that are downright undigestible. It's not objectionable to disagree, it just depends how you say it.
