Thank You!!

Thank you so much Charlotte at Canning Jars Etc. for passing this award to me!  Your blog is a must-read for anyone interested in putting food by. It's well-researched, seasonal, and really informative!  Thanks again!

To get this award I have to first list 7 things about myself that you might find interesting.  Here goes:

1. My longtime companion is from England, and I'd like to think I'm channeling his father who was an avid gardner but sadly passed away a number of years ago. 
   
2. I'm a research scientist at the University of Pittsburgh's Lupus Center of Excellence.
   
3. I have a much-beloved 15-year-old tuxedo cat named Chester.
4. I love to cook and read cooking blogs.
5. I aspire to have 3 backyard chickens (hens) next year.
6. I love British humor.
7. I used to be a classical musician in my younger life--I played the viola and piano.

  Next I need to nominate 7 Kreativ Bloggers.  I nominate:

1. The Humans at Seven Trees Farm
   
2. Farmgirl Susan at In My Kitchen Garden
3. Anais at Little Homestead in the City
4. Kelli at Sugar Creek Farm
5. Amy at Eggs on Sunday
