500 Posts!!!!

Dear Bloggie,

I have known for some time now that we were approaching the magical event of having 500 posts published. And I had promised myself that I would make a big deal about it. And I was counting it down, from about #493 until, well NOW.

So imagine my surprise when I realized – only AFTER yesterday’s post went live – that it was indeed post #500. And that I had completely missed it.

Well, fear not my faithful long-suffering blogge friend….It is Not. Too. Late.

Inspired and informed by fellow blogger Rivergirl, may I present to you and all my readers: a piecaken (dessert’s answer to the turducken) that I had made just for this wondrous occasion! ๐Ÿ˜‰

From the Food Network. My teeth ache just looking at it. Not going to appear as a #WOYPBC post anytime soon.

Here’s what a piecaken (Thanksgiving version) is comprised of:

In other words, a fat and sugar bomb. A conglomeration of pie and cake what, no pudding?. Not that anything is wrong with that! Why take multiple trips to the dessert bar when you can put a slice of this beauty on your buffet plate instead?

Anywhoodle, I digress as usual.

Back to you, Dear Bloggie…I apologize for having missed this momentous…uh…moment. (But only by one day, so can you give me a break?). I also apologize for having taken so long to get here. Despite you being in existence for over 12 years now (yup, missed that one too), it has taken me until now to get to this milestone.

I spent a lotta years in Crazytown (as the Mayor, no less) and the lack of blogging during that time is the proof in the pudding piecaken of that.

So please accept this piecaken as my sweet attempt to make up for all the lost years and forgotten milestones. Enjoy! And don’t come crying to me when your teeth hurt.

Rock ever onwards, to the next 500 posts!

The WB

    Hi Deb – congratulations on the 500 and over twelve years … I’ve enjoyed my ride along the blogging world – just about to enter my fifteenth year and over 1100 posts later – I’ve met wonderful people and learnt so much along this journey.

    I’m loving your posts on Vancouver Island – remembering my time there – just pleased you’ve not suffered in the recent storms – I see there’s snow around.

    Have you ever made a Turducken – I once did one for a wedding … tough sinews – so now I only do a chicken … but still enjoy deboning and stuffing those – just distinctly easier! This also brought back memories of yore!

    Here’s to more delightful cheerful happy posts from you – Cheers Hilary

    1. Congratulations on your blogging longevity! ๐ŸŽ‰ ๐Ÿฅ‚๐Ÿพ There are a few of us veterans (12 years for me as well) kicking around. ๐Ÿ˜Ž Never heard of piecaken before, but I’d be willing to try a sliver. Cheers! ๐Ÿฐ

  2. I got excited there for a moment thinking you had really made one yourself. (I was hoping for Leaning Tower of Piecaken photos.) But congrats on your 500. Itโ€™s definitely a milestone.
    ๐Ÿ‘

    1. Thank you, Rivergirl ๐Ÿ’• And thank you for introducing me to the piecaken! I doubt I will ever make one, but if one shows up on the menu I would try it (with a friend or three ๐Ÿ˜).

    Many congratulations Deb on reaching 500! There must be something in the air this week as Ally Bean has reached 1,000 also. What amazing bloggers you both are.

    I hope you find a good way to celebrate that doesn’t require you to expire from all that piecaken sugar ๐Ÿ™‚

  4. CONGRATULATIONS!!! ๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰

    That piecaken looks over-the-top, even for someone like me.

    But it does sound like a challenge … and you know me and challenges …

    Will you be serving wine with the piecaken? ๐Ÿ˜

    1. Thank you, Kari ๐Ÿ’• I know, I got Allyโ€™s post this morning after mine published. Imagine the odds! We should have planned a joint celebration. More piecaken for everyone!!!! ๐Ÿ˜

    1. Nope, you have to have a slice of the whole dessert! Give what you donโ€™t want to eat to Paul ๐Ÿ˜‰. Iโ€™m sure heโ€™ll be happy to clean it up for you. Thanks, Janis ๐Ÿ’•

    1. I donโ€™t think piecaken will ever be adopted by foodiesโ€ฆto me it is like one of those party bags of junk foodsโ€ฆyou know: potato chips, pretzels, nuts, corn chips all togetherโ€ฆ.only this is the sugar bomb version. Thanks, Pat ๐Ÿ’•

  5. Dear Deb,

    My teeth DO hurt, just looking at that sugar bomb!
    Congratulations on making it to the big 500.
    I am so happy to have found you and your sweet little corner of the internet.

  6. I’ve read all 500 of your posts… yep, all the way back to the beginning when it had a different name and a different purpose. We do change, don’t we. I look forward to the next 100.

    1. Thatโ€™s time you will never get back, Kieran ๐Ÿ˜‰. There are some gems in there thoughโ€ฆevery once in a while I come across one (back when no one was reading and/or commenting) and I think -โ€œDamn, did I really write that? Itโ€™s kinda good!โ€ Thank you ๐Ÿ’•

Here's where the magic happens. I love comments!
