Recently Karen from Back Road Journal passed along a challenge to me. Thanks Karen for thinking of me, I´m honoured! I was also a little stumped as I haven´t been blogging for all that long and I had to pick out posts to show you in certain categories.
The rules are that I should have published a link related to the categories I´ll mention below, and that I should pass the challenge on to at least 5 other bloggers (well, that bit it easy, there are so many wonderful blogs I am following!).
Ok, so here goes.
The most beautiful post. This was tough, I´m not an expert photographer, but I chose my Cherry and Watermelon Granizada, as the colours evoke summer in a glass for me.
The most popular post. Well, I was surprised, as it was one of the most simple things that I make but it got a huge number of hits. It was my Salsa Verde Spanish Style. Hopefully people are shaking it over everything from Cape Town to Texas!
The most controversial post. Nothing really sprang to mind, but looking back, I did get a few surprised “looks” at my Slow Cooked Pig´s Trotters!
The most helpful post has to be my Sun Dried Tomatoes. Again, so simple, but people seemed to like the simplicity of making these tasty little treats of sun dried gorgeousness.
The post that was surprisingly successful was The Vegetable Garden – 1 Month on. I love that people ask me for advice. I don´t have a huge amount of experience, but am happy to share any knowledge that I have.
The post that did not get the attention that it deserved. I suppose a lot of the early ones when I had less people viewing, but I think it was my Pork Ribs in Barbecue Sauce. Nearly everyone likes a BBQ rib…right?!
The post that I am most proud of. Really tough, as I post on a variety of subjects, but it probably has to be my very first post. Not so much for the superb writing (joke!) but it´s because it´s where my Spanish story really started. Plucking up the courage to come to Spain alone which then led me on an amazing journey to where I am now. And having the courage to start to write (and finish) my book. And even though I don´t yet have a publisher, I´m proud of the fact that I did it.
Finally, these are the folk I´d like to pass the challenge on to. I admire all their blogs, I love the variety of subjects I can read about, and I hope you get a chance to pop over to their blogs to see what they are up to. I´m looking forward to reading their responses too.
A final huge challenge for me was actually posting this – 3 goes before WordPress decided to let me do it….grrrrrr!
