I couldn't let 2009 come to a close without thanking everyone who has stopped by this little blog to check out what I've been cooking this year. I also couldn't resist the opportunity to take a little trip down memory lane...
June 1st, 2009
The blog, Girl Gone Gourmet, is born.
This was the original banner... kinda cute, no?

My First Comment and the Realization that People Might Actually be Reading my Blog (gulp).

August 2009
August brought a lot of excitement...
1. Girl Gone Gourmet joins Foodbuzz
My first Foodbuzz Profile Pic... I was a little shy.
Foodbuzz introduced me to so many wonderful food bloggers-- they inspire me every day.
2. I got my SUPER AWESOME camera...
My pictures went from looking like this...
To looking like this...
3. I made the Foodbuzz Top 9 for the First Time

My 100th Post...
I never thought I would make it past 10 posts, so making it to 100 was definitely a milestone!
And now, with 2009 coming to a close, I want to leave you with the countdown of my Top 5 posts of the year based on the total number of views...
And the #1 post of 2009 is... (insert drumroll sound here)
(yum)
Without readers there would be no Top 9, no Top Posts of 2009, and no wonderful comments to read every day, so THANK YOU for stopping by. You've helped make 2009 a great year for me and for that I raise my glass in honor of you...
Then sing, young hearts that are full of cheer,
With never a thought of sorrow;
The old goes out, but the glad young year
Comes merrily in tomorrow.
--Emily Miller
Wishing you and yours all the best in 2010!
