Stylish Love for Hungry Jenny

Who needs a Valentine when someone out there thinks you're Stylish?

The lovely Daniel of Harris and Herring passed me this Stylish Blogger Award - go and check out his blog for interesting recipes and stories surrounding his family and friends (it's great stuff) - after reading this post of course ;-)

These blog awards are great - it's just a nice feeling to realise that there are people out there listening to what you've got to say. It's also a great opportunity to point to your own favourite bloggers to encourage others to look them up. In this case, there are 4 steps to pass on the blog award love.

Step 1: Make a post linking back to the person who gave you the award.
Step 2: Share 7 random things about yourself.
Step 3: Award 15 recently discovered bloggers with this award.
Step 4: Contact these bloggers and tell them they’ve won the award.

Fifteen? By golly, that's alot. I've just listed 5 (in no particular order) because I can't honestly say that I've 'recently discovered' fifteen! And hopefully it shows the ones that I have passed the award on to that I do think they are rather special :-)

1. Nick aka Peanut Butter Boy
I can't remember how I came across Nick's blog now, but it was his colourful bio page that pulled me in and has kept me reading. Go to his 'About' page and you'll see what I mean!

2. Danny of Food Bloggers Unite
I recently came across Danny's food photography/blogging tips site whilst looking around for some photography lighting techniques, and have been bookmarking loads of his posts since! It's a really well-written and clear site with some awesome photos too.

3. Tricia of Saving Room For Dessert
When I heard a whispering that 2011 was going to be the year of the pie, I googled it and stumbled across Tricia's blog - she has vowed to make a pie each weekend, an adventure which immediately caught my attention! And I'm forever jealous of Tricia's ability to produce beautiful lattice-topped pies :-P

4. Hannah of Honey & Jam
A young and really talented photographer with stunning photos of not just her yummy baking, but other gorgeous settings as well, like this 'Teatime' photo - I was trying to remember a blog I used to follow that had 'Wordless Wednesdays', but came across Hannah's website instead!

5. Aaron John Cabuang of AJ's Cooking Secrets
I came across Aaron's blog during the Project Food Blog competition on Foodbuzz. The rap that he made up for the third round made me laugh out loud! I also love that he has an ongoing list of goals and wishlist on his site.

And now for seven random things about me...

1. I sporadically practise headstands on my bedroom floor.
2. I love any excuse to get fancy-dressed up.
3. I plan to see and own every dance film there is.
4. One of my ears is higher than the other - so when I wear glasses, they always look lopsided.
5. The thought of trying to make a full Sunday roast scares me.
6. I have a weakness for tacky (and often neon) jewellery.
7. In school plays, I was given the best parts - a Dutch puppet in Pinocchio, a Jitterbug in the Wizard of Oz, a seagull in James and the Giant Peach - and half a broomstick in The Sorceror's Apprentice.

Were they random enough for you?
