FOOD NETWORK “Favorited” My Tweet! ✨

Every day I post the featured recipe and photo from Snapshotsincursive on Twitter (by the same name). Today’s Daily Special of “Eating My Way Through the Alphabet” was the Letter X. Therefore, X Marks the Spot: Xylocarp Coconut Bars was highlighted. Imagine my elation when I received notification that Food Network “favorited” my tweet! Friends, that means I’m still on their radar. They also “favorited” Letter Z for Zucchini Boats recently.

Sometimes a dragon is referred to as a Phoenix who rises out of the ashes. I’m going to go with that analogy because I believe every blogger can relate to being nameless at the onset of their journey. Being identified and recognized by those among us is an honor worth receiving. I acknowledge and thank my loyal friend, Lina, for her encouragement and favor. She is a multi-talented cook and author. Perhaps you should go visit her at   http://lins239.wordpress.com  where she entertains us with “Fiction in the Kitchen!”
