DMBLGIT July 2010: Second Prize

I woke up this morning, and still in bed, I checked my mails in my phone....and there was Asha, from Fork, Spoon and Knife, announcing me my Sushi/Ceviche: a Japanese/Peruvian Fusion had won the second prize (shared with Gracie, of Meringue Desserts) in DMBLGIT July Issue. 
Wow !!! and this announcement triggered a lot of memories....that I shared with my pillow! (nobody was up in my family). I remembered one cold November Saturday morning (I started my blog in December 2009) when I asked my husband if I could have my Christmas present in advance..."What?" my husband said, being to early for him to start understanding my "philosophical" problems..."Yes" I said, "I need a better camera because I am going to start writing a blog".
"And why do you want a better camera, if you are not a photographer, and probably you won't know how to use a better camera?" Et oui..., sometimes my husband's sense of logical thinking is exasperating...(to put it mildly!) "But I will learn" and  I started talking about all the difficult things I had learnt in life (and there I'm sure my husband finds ME exasperating! LOL) 
And I laughed, and maybe my pillow too!! and so my husband woke up, and I proudly told him about the prize...and he asked me "How many dollars did you win?" and I said it was "for the honor", to which he answered: "Cristina, don't wake me up on a Sunday morning unless you have won a prize in dollars!!!" (didn't I tell you his logic is exasperating?)
Well, since I am not a material girl, like Madonna, I feel honoured and happy at this recognition; I would like to thank Andrew, from Spittoon Extra, for creating this contest, Asha for her time for organizing this July edition, the judges, for their work (and choosing me!), but mainly the other participants, and the other bloggers....
No blogger would exist if the others werent't there....
From the bottom of my heart, thanks a lot!!, great people from the world !!!!
