Blog Day 2007
Another year, another blog day. I've been at this blogging thing since ages past, and I still find it fascinating. Why, you asked?
...because my favorite crazy bean guy at the market now takes his crazy to a blog too.
Rancho Gordo
...because Nathalie has lunch with oddly captivating people like Phil Oh and you can eavesdrop on the conversation.
Can I buy you lunch?
...because a perfect stranger like Dylan goes to Yangshuo and I get to tag along.
Eat, Drink, and Be Merry
...because even forum people – a forum founder no less – are now blogging.
At the Sign of the Pink Pig
...because even the pros are now blogging - and doing it in the proper spirit too.
François Simon
Dorie Greenspan
Rose Levy Beranbaum
Frank Bruni
Michael Ruhlman
Jay Rayner and the gang at the Observer Food Monthly
Andrea Ngyuen
...because some are trying hard to be the next food network stars, and the way they're going they might even succeed!
Wine Library TV
Ms.Glaze Pomme d'Amour
...because some bloggers clearly should be publishing magazines and not blogs
Food Beam
Rasa Malaysia
Matt Bites
...because everyone is blogging for good.
Baking and Book's fundraising for Hazon Foundation: Ariela's book raffle is drawing to a close in the next couple of days, and she's got some good books, like Simon Hopkinson's Roasted Chicken and Other Stories, up for grabs, not to mention Nigella's and Jamie's and more.

Hey Pim,
Just a shoutout to say that I recommended you for Blogday 2007! :) http://nekit0.livejournal.com/72352.html
You were one of my first food blog addictions a few years ago ^_^ and now... I also blog! (but only in Spanish for now, in English also would be too much work).
I totally love your reviews and recipes :)
Greetings,
nek0 from Spain

Oh my Pim...thanks so much! OK, magazine publishers out there, do you hear me? Chez Pim has endorsed me, are you? Wahahahaha.
Happy Blog Day and now teach me how to cook more Thai dishes please? ;)

Hi Pim!
Your love for blog is contagious. Thanks to you I got hooked on food blogs and eventually started my own blog.
And, now, reading comment from nek0 from Spain, I see I'm not the only one.
You should get some king of award for inspiring people to blog!
I wish you happy BlogDay!

love this post. thanks for bringing all these blogs to my attention. i knew some but not all. i always wonder how some of these things escape me however they always seem to. I also appreciate pointing out those bloggers that should have their own magazine. Those are some of my favorites and I am very much in agreement with you!

Hey Pim, I made Tom Yum Goong this past weekend using your recipe; PLUS, I got myself frozen fresh water prawns, Product of Thailand! I wanted to be as authentic as possible.
Thanks for the recipe...it was delicious. :)
