No, not crying over spilled milk. At least not today. Or, at least, not right this minute. No, today it was chicken nuggets being pelted across the room by the one year old. I don’t think I cried. At least not until I caught glimpse of a couple of tiny ants clamoring to reach the nugget crumbs before I could get the broom to sweep them up. I won. Tears of victory were what I was crying, people. Tears of victory.
Anyway, the second edition of the Silicon Valley Moms Blog‘s Manic Monday Mashup was posted today. The subject was food, and yours truly was chosen again as one of the 10 featured entries. Now, I have no clue how many entries they actually receive. It might be 11, or 10. In my head, it’s, like, 500. So, you know, whatever. 
I’m just glad to be picked.
Here are a couple of entries that touched my heart or brought a few tears to my eyes. That’s just the kind of day it is.
Daniel at Foodmomiac with Mothers and Mussels.
Laura at Adventures in Juggling with Sad Thoughts Over Ketchup.
Amazing how much food is tied to our memories and such. Check out the additional wonderful posts here.
Happy Monday.
Flavor has more to do with smell than taste, as we relearn with every head cold we suffer. Combine that with the fact that the sense of smell is most closely linked to memory, and we’ve got a perfect storm for nostalgia eating.
Head colds, blah. Thanks for reminding me to be thankful that I don’t have one right now! Now, if I could only find some yummy junk food in this house right now….
Just wanted to let you know that we received a LOT… yes a LOT of entries….

There you have it, folks. 50 billion entries. And I was one of the 10 chosen.
Thanks, Jill.
