This really made me laugh! Maybe if you are not a blogger some of its impact will be lost, but this cartoon is perfect…
Have a great Friday, everyone! And remember, as a friend of mine always says: Humor is medicine!

A little bit of a tangent, this won’t be about food… I am writing this post mainly to have something I can link to when needed.
My personal policy on exchanging links: I don’t do it. The blogs on my blogroll are sites I found (or in some cases was invited to visit through a nice email) and love to read. I also do not accept offers for guest posts, sorry!
I don’t accept products to review. I will evaluate products (and also cookbook and exercise videos ;-)), but on my own. If I recommend something, you can be 100% sure it’s because I love it.
Finally, I appreciate getting blog awards, but I don’t forward them. This is a delicate subject, I admit. But I rather celebrate the blogs I love by cooking from them. If you follow my blog, you may have noticed I do that regularly.
Having said so many “I don’t“, let me finish on a positive note: I wish you all a Happy Valentine’s Day! Enjoy it to the fullest, following the example of very wise creatures, who definitely know how to live in the moment... 😉
WordPress just released a summary of activity for the Bewitching Kitchen in 2012, and I decided to share it with my readers… 😉
Here’s an excerpt:
About 55,000 tourists visit Liechtenstein every year. This blog was viewed about 240,000 times in 2012. If it were Liechtenstein, it would take about 4 years for that many people to see it. Your blog had more visits than a small country in Europe!
I normally schedule my posts to go live a few days in advance. Tonight at midnight a post on sourdough bread would go live. It will not. A dear friend of mine, a blogger who loves to bake bread as much as I do, lost a grandson, a 6-year-old little boy, in the devastating tragedy of Newtown. No bread post today. Instead, a post to send her the warmest virtual hug I can possibly offer. Life is unbearably cruel sometimes. And gun control a step our society should stop running away from. Once and for all.
Edited to add: a fund has been created to help the families affected by this tragedy. Click here if you want to contribute.
Donations to help the family of my friend’s grandson, Noah, can be made by clicking here. In this link you can also read more about beautiful Noah, the youngest victim of this tragedy.

The Gods of the Random Numbers have spoken. Loud and clear!
Fifty eight entries, and the winner is NUMBER 4! (which happens to be my favorite number, but I swear I did not mess up with the Gods of the Numbers).
Michael, please send me an email at sallybr2008 at gmail.com so I can mail your gift!
Thank you for everyone who participated, I hope to reach another milestone soon!
