IttyBittyFoodies sabotaged on Babble.com Top 100 Food Mom’s Blog list

It has come to my attention that someone has put a fake name Cheryl Colett (with just one ‘L’ in the last name) and linked it to a fake R rated site in the Babble.com Top 100 Mom Food Blogs for 2011. Thank you to a kind person who wrote to tell me about this. I don’t pretend to understand why someone did this, I’m upset that someone would go through those lengths over a blog nomination. What happened to fair game and common decency?  The worse thing is that people have voted thinking it was my site. If you have voted, can you please check that you voted for Cheryl CoLLett (with two ‘L’s in the last name). The right listing has a description of IttyBittyFoodies in it. Here’s Babble’s link. I’m sorry for the inconvenience and if you have forwarded my previous post, please let others know.

Have a good night.

Tom Fleming’s Crossroads Diner

View from the waiting room

The Confession - I’m going to come right out and say it, we have not fallen in love with Crossroads Diner’s cinnamon buns. Ok now that it’s off my chest, more about it later. It is noon on a Saturday and there are at least 10 tables infront of us. Ugh it’s a 30-45 minute wait. Thank goodness there are children’s books to keep Pikelet & Lollo occupied in the waiting area. If spotting chef Abraham Salum of Salum and the gorgeous new Komali waiting patiently like the rest of us pedestrians is any indication of what’s to come, then wait we shall. 

Belly full of whale cakes – easy salmon cakes with green beans & bacon

Pikelet & Lollo eat salmon cakes because of the book “Big Blue Whale” by Nicola Davies. They call them ‘whale cakes’ and eat loads because thought of having stinky ‘whale’ breath is an attractive trait when you are five and three years old.

“When it breathes out, it makes a great misty puff as high as a house. This is the whale’s blow, and you can see it from far away. You can hear it, too – a great PROOUFF. And if you are close enough, you can smell it, as the whale’s breath is stale and fishy.”
