Thank you SO much for featuring my list! Love your site!

  you’re most welcome. I LOVED reading it 🙂
  
Robyn July 12, 2013

how do you gather your bites around the net? is it through instagram?

- Tracy July 12, 2013
  
  Hi! I get a “ping” on WordPress whenever someone links back to the original recipe in their blog post. It’s super hard for me to track Instagram stuff because instagram only shows me a certain amount of likes in my feed and they get lost in space!
  
  - Robyn July 12, 2013
    
    ah i see! i tweeted you and megabite to let you guys know i blogged about your strawberry infused vodka this week, so i was just curious to see how you gathered the bites 🙂

Great links, as always. The “I Will Unfollow” post is a good reminder on how to appreciate the success of others rather than see it as preventing your own.

I definitely have written on a list to check other lists. I also love to organize my grocery list into departments–I start with the very back of the store and work my way to the front. It makes me crazy to criss-cross back and forth, all over a store. LISTS FOREVER!

- Tracy July 12, 2013
  
  I do the grocery shopping by aisle too!!
  
Tieghan July 12, 2013

I need those cinnamon sugar ice cream bowls!!

Shauna July 12, 2013

I feel like Dustin Hoffman became the new Ryan Gosling with that one. Love that man.

Martine July 12, 2013

Your kale slaw was a big hit at my 4th of July BBQ!

Madeline July 12, 2013

#4 is quite beautiful…thank you for sharing.

Lindsey July 12, 2013

I can’t with that Ryan Gosling video. Not a massive Ryan Gosling fan, but his reaction to that dish towel is priceless.

It’s like the sun.
I can’t look directly at it.

- Tracy July 12, 2013
  
  Right??!! I loved it!!
  
Amy /// The Anxious Hippie July 12, 2013

I’m a latte. Soooo boring. Also, is that list about list makers STOLEN FROM MY BRAIN? That’s me, to a tee. But you know that. xoxo

- Tracy July 12, 2013
  
  This is why we are friends!
  
Debilee July 12, 2013

Love your lists!

Dave July 12, 2013

Thank you for the article on culinary schools. I am ending my career and have been working in kitchens to explore the career. Since I already have both an undergraduate and graduate degree, the possibility of having to return to school to prove myself was not favorable. Unfortunately I have found that even though I have 30 years, off and on in commercial kitchens, I have had noses turned up by culinary educated chefs.

Thank you also for your podcast, as a dude, I find both you and Joy not only entertaining but also inspirational.

Keep up the outstanding job !!

Leah July 12, 2013

I had a really good laugh at the Ryan Gosling dish towel!

Also, you have lovely feet! I hope that’s not creepy…. hahah

Hannah July 12, 2013

I about died over Dustin Hoffman when I saw that video. I loved him before but he is totally my hero now. It was a beautiful yet sad thing to watch. I showed my husband but I don’t think he quite ‘got’ it to be honest.

I love a good list. I am always making them….the problem is that I ended up with too many of them. There was even a book I read as a kid called ‘The Listmaker’ which was so good I would probably enjoy it just as much now but I always think of it as I write my many lists.

Billy July 12, 2013

Thanks for the link love! I’m an iced coffee, just in case you had to know that.

Stephanie C. July 12, 2013

I’d just like to put out there a big like for the “My bites around the net”. Love looking through them every Friday to see all the adaptations.

Kim July 12, 2013

Sanitas are the BEST!!

Stephanie @ henry happened July 12, 2013

Ok, first, I love your sandals – chic AND comfy?! I have to get a pair! And second, thank you so much for including a link to my necklace roundup – so excited to discover your blog! 🙂

Heidi - Apples Under My Bed July 12, 2013

Ace list here. I really loved reading 32 things learned in 22 years. & also success after 30 – it gives me hope too! & I mean I’m not even 30 yet but sometimes I feel such (I guess internal) pressure to be successful soon. But really, you gotta live to know things…and then you can grow and give. Anyway…

Kayli Schattner July 12, 2013

Wow! Loved this list- the way you word your content is so awesome, I love it!

Katy @ Katy's Kitchen July 12, 2013

I’ve become quite accustomed to scrolling through your Friday lists. I don’t always comment, but I do always read. It’s such a nice assortment of yummy recipes, thought provoking articles, and articles to make you smile and laugh. Love it Tracy, keep up the good work!

Lucia July 13, 2013

I’m definitely an obsessive list maker. And, now that I think about it, I’ll make one right now.

Maria July 13, 2013

We need to get Caleb and Cooper together for an ice cream bowl party! Thanks for sharing! xo

Julie July 13, 2013

Thanks for including my version of your waffles in this post… Those malted waffles are my favorite.

Any thoughts on an excellent iPhone list-making app? I’ve been trying to find one for the last few days and haven’t found one I enjoy yet!

Kaitlyn July 15, 2013
