One year ago today, I posted on this little blog for the first time. It has been a really fun year! I have really enjoyed having a place to share my mild rhubarb obsession, my adventures in local, seasonal cooking, and my random thoughts! I have also loved reading your comments, and getting to know new people through their blogs. This world of food blogging is a vast and very inspiring place to be.
Oh, and guess who else's birthday it is?

Yup! Bono. Bono and the Coppertop Kitchen were born on the same day. How 'bout that?
To celebrate one year of blogging, I'd like to give you a gift! One lucky reader will receive a Rosemary Honey Bear from Bron's Bee Company (one of my favorite local apiaries), and some homemade (by me!) Lavender Honey Granola. All you have to do to enter is leave a comment on this post! Here are some ideas, if your brain isn't quite up to something out of the blue right now:
- Introduce yourself! Whether you've been subscribing since day one, or you only just found my blog today, say hi! I'd love to know who you are.
- Make a request! Is there something you'd like me to make or try? I'm all ears!
- Tell me your favorite seasonal food, and what you like to do with it.

The contest will be open until next Thursday, May 17, and the winner will be announced on Friday, May 18! Good luck!!

And the winner is... CONSERVAMOM! Thanks to everyone who commented! Conservamom, I will be in contact soon to arrange delivery of your prize!! Have a great weekend!
