Four years ago today, I posted for the first time to Bluebonnets & Brownies, this little blog o’ mine. I couldn’t know then the joy and knowledge it would bring to my life. Or the friendships.
Back when I started B&B, I was more homesick than you could imagine. Two years into our move to New Jersey from England, James and I still only had each other. As you might guess, working from home makes it very difficult to meet new people.
But then I started writing about the foods I missed from back home, and sometimes James’s home favorites too. And suddenly, I was part of a community. The food blogging community saved me from a lot of unhappiness, a lot of loneliness.
