It was the summer of 2006 and some of my girlfriends and I were sitting around chatting when the topic of blogging came up. Among the six of us, not a single one of us had ever blogged. We just did not understand the point of blogging, and who has time for silly stuff like that anyway? Fast forward to November 26th, 2006… the day that I wrote my very first blog entry here at Dine and Dish.  I wrote in a post a few days ago about why I initially started the blog. Since that day, my reasons for continuing to blog have stayed the same… to stay connected, to have an outlet to express myself, and for the pure enjoyment of it.
