Mentions & Awards
February 2011: Coconut, Basil & Lime Pralines post featured on FoodPress. I forgot to make a screenshot, though…
March 4, 2011 …
…was the day I almost fell off my chair when I saw how many hits I suddenly had on my blog. Turned out it was due to a WordPress feature on my Blood Orange Panna Cotta.
Funnily, the same day a news item appeared on Spiegel Online about WordPress experiencing a DoS attack. The WP screenshot shown at the news website also showed my WP feature post, it was even highlighted. I’m sure that also helped with getting this exorbitant amount of hits.
I have to admit, though, that I have silently cursed that post a lot of times since. Why? Because I feel it’s neither my best post nor my best recipe. But a lot of people still keep visiting that one post only.
The same month I received a Stylish Blogger Award, passed on to me by Melissa from Life is Grace.

Thank you so much! As I’ve just received it last week and nominated 15 blogs yesterday, do you think it’s OK if I count these 2 nominations as 1??
Yes of course, or you can always wait a month or so and see if you discover a load more blogs that deserve some recognition and then post your nominations then. 2 Versatile Blogger Awards in a week – Huge Congratulations

http://faestwistandtango.wordpress.com/2013/01/04/blog-of-the-year-2012-5th-star/
Fae, I did but hadn’t gotten round to thanking you yet on your own blog, sorry!
Congratulations, Kiki! You have been awarded: Super Sweet Bloggers Award
Fae.
I do not expect any action to be taken, or for you to generate a post, unless you wish to pass it on.
Your blog has been awarded at:
http://faestwistandtango.wordpress.com/2013/02/27/awards-february-2013/
Enjoy!
Wow – another one! Thank you so much, Fae! Also thank you for absolving me from taking any action or passing on the award, as to be honest I can hardly find the time to cook and blog right now, and passing on an award would require more time than I feel I have at the moment. I hope I’ll be able to take care of that eventually, though, as I still have two other awards to pass on…
