Happy New Year and Things to Come in 2011!
Happy New Year Everybody!!
I can’t believe 2011 is already here. Where did 2010 go? Just wanted to kick things off this year with a few updates about what I have planned for 2011.
I have once again signed up for the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer. This year, I will be walking in New York City in October with two of my friends. If anyone would like to join our team, let me know. I will start up my weekly Avon Walk updates around May when we start our training. If you’d like to make a donation to my walk, you can do so by clicking on the pink Avon Walk logo to the left or here.
I plan to continue doing my “Week Of” features. I have a few ideas in mind, but if you have an ingredient you’d like to see featured, let me know!
A new project that I’m excited to announce will be a weekly feature called Friday Favs. I have solicited some of my favorite bloggers to provide guests posts right here on Beantown Baker every Friday of the year. I chose these bloggers because they’re the people that make the cut when my Google Reader gets out of control and I have to downsize. They’re favs of mine for a variety of reasons and they represent a variety of topics. Most are food bloggers, but there are some decorating bloggers, life bloggers, arts and craft bloggers in the mix as well. Be sure to check out the Friday Favs tag on the right –> or the Friday Favs page up top ^ for all the posts. And check back every Friday to get a glimpse at one of my favorite bloggers.
Other than that, I plan to keep providing posts about the foods I’m making in our Boston kitchen, random food related Boston events, updates on my 30-by-30 list, and of course plenty of giveaways. You can also find me on Twitter or Facebook.
I am Jen the Beantown Baker. Engineer by day and baking maven by night. Hubby serves as my #1 fan and official taste tester. We got hitched back in 2006. Barefoot. In the sand. With the waves crashing behind us. It was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. 
Jen hope you have a fun weekend at Sunday River!! Jene great to read about your life with an engineer in the kitchen. sounds like its always an adventure!
found the post that’s missing some links to it.
You don’t need to be an engineer to throw baking soda on a fire just someone who doesn’t panic. But the yogurt machine and hotplate now that’s interesting engineering. I’m guessing a chemical or materials type engineer. LED colors have different temperatures but I don’t think they freeze. Maybe I need to learn more about LEDs which will be showing up more and more in our life.
Mixie – Sublime? I need a new KitchenAid so it’s good to know you’re happy with that one. And I think I need a gnocchi lesson from you.
(Jen – hope you are having fun skiing!)
Fun feature! I was able to overlook the fact that it’s from a Yankees fan…. 🙂
I feel like we are the same person. I have a little boy named Charlie who would be the kid peeing his pants over the fire truck sighting and I’m married to an engineer who would really love to get his hands on my kitchen aid to “make it better”. I so get you. 🙂
