Welcome surfhut. . .

. . .to the Ldotter blogroll. She was fortunate enough to be bestowed with the coveted front page link at Lucianne.com because of her moving tribute to her father and his Caesar Salad recipe. I'd like to offer my heartfelt congratulations and a big bunch of gratitude to her for sharing the recipe, and more importantly, the obvious love that inspired her to post it. It's the personal touches that make the blogosphere worth turning to everyday, whether or not the news is slow.

I also love the basic theme of surfhut's blog -- a sort of collection of recipes set in the context of historical events. Very neat, very informative, and today, undeniably moving. I have a friend who has been tinkering with the idea of starting a food-related blog, now that she's graduated from the Culinary Institute of America. Maybe now that there's an example to use as a guide, I'll be able to add yet another food-related Ldotter blog.

Cheers, congrats and many thanks to surfhut!
