mmm-yoso makes 18!

I was just going to start another post when I looked at the date and realized there was some significance to this day....at least for me.

On this date 18 years ago, we did our first post. Geez, 18 years, perhaps it's time to send the blog off to college, right?

Never in my wildest dreams would I have ever thought we'd still be around 18 years later.

And in typical fashion, I'm really not prepared for this post. So, how about some photos of neighborhood flowers from my walks?

Or maybe some utility box art?

In all seriousness, we'd like to thank each and every one of you, for the visits, comments, emails....the wonderful recommendations! We've had the honor and the privilege of "eating, then writing about it" for  5010 posts now. 

Hopefully, we'll have some delici-yoso posts coming up......

The last few years have been sometimes strange and difficult....things have changed so much, but it has made me appreciate more than ever being able to keep up with the blog.

I know I'm not up to date with technology. At some point, I'll have to either get up to date or say goodbye. Hopefully, it will be the former.

Until then....we'll keep rolling along.

Thanks again for helping to keep this little blog going!

Congratulations! Although I don't eat meat and therefore can't eat many of the dishes you review, I still love to check out the pictures and read your witty commentary. And the travelogues from around the world -- and even here in town -- are the icing on the cake! Looking forward to many more posts to come!

18 years is amazing for anything but in the context of food social media is basically an eternity. Thank you for continuing to take the time to keep your blog going. I very much appreciate the reviews, the recipes and the travel adventures. Hoping for many more years to come. Seguimos juntos!

Thank you for all of your thoughtful writing on your tastes and travels, I have enjoyed many of your recommendations. I also really like the searchable aspect so I can find places that I knew I read about before.
What degree will you go for???

[Jase]

Damn, didn't expect a blog to make me feel old! 😂 I've been a fan for most of those 18 years, so thanks for letting my taste buds live vicariously through you and the Missus' food adventures!
Cheers!
