An Unexpected Honor!

While my columns in the Berkshire Eagle always appear in the printed edition on a Wednesday, the online version usually goes up the day before, on Tuesday. So I try to remember to take a look online, and today there was a piece listing the 10 most popular recipes that have appeared in the Berkshire Eagle in 2021. I clicked on it and was blown away to find that four of my columns made it into the top 10! Not only that, my columns also held the #1, #2, and #3 spots! Links to today’s top 10 list, as well as to my blog postings that feature the recipes that made the list, are as follows:

The Top 10 List

#7 – Corn Pudding

#3 – Tommy’s Soup

#2 – Choucroute Turnovers

#1 – Beef Stew

It’s been such a tough year, and as we turn the page on the calendar to 2022 in just over two weeks, we will be reminded that we have been living with this pandemic coming up on two years now. I certainly cannot list all the stresses and struggles and losses everyone has endured, and it’s tough to know that we still have a long road ahead through this most challenging of times.

And yet, despite all the challenges, writing this column for the Eagle has been a bright spot for me, now for just over a year, and I am feeling thrilled that people like my recipes! It always brings me joy to hear what recipes people have made, and also to learn what adaptations they have tried.

And so, I am looking forward to more delicious food and interesting ideas I can share with my readers in 2022!
