I wanted to make sure I sent out a big thank-you to everyone who directly emailed me with congratulations on the Times piece that ran earlier this week. It might me take me a few days to get back to you, but I promise I will. In the meantime, please know how much I appreciate the support — from new readers and especially from my longtime loyal circle of MVP commentors: Amanda, Bianca, Jan, Trish O, 654carroll, Paige, Cindy, to name a few. Happy weekend.

Jenny,
The NYT article brought me to your blog…and it is inspirational! Thanks and please don’t stop.
The never ending question, “What’s for dinner?”
And YOU have the answer. Yum!

I actually read most of the article with interest BEFORE I realized it was you! I have just started following your blog (in the past few months) and was so tickled to see you getting that press. Well done! (Oh, and I’ve already pre-ordered your book!). Love the site and thought the dinner journal was so cool!
I loved the article, too, and wish I could read that dinner diary!
Hi Jenny,
I was introduced to your blog by the Times piece, and am so grateful. To be honest, I’ve not followed a blog before and didn’t understand what the fuss of blogs was all about. I’ve since read nearly each day… and the archives.
Thank you for sharing lovely recipes and stories. We’re looking forward to having a family in the near future and it’s fun to read about ways to make things work.
Sincerely,
Christine Hamilton

love the website – a great idea with lots of useful hints – is the book the consolidated recipes in one space? Jessica Seinfeld’s got nothing on you ! xoxo
Hi Jenny
love your blog. And the NYT piece. Hope we can see the family.
