I have a high metabolism…so high that people thought I was anorexic until I turned 40. Every doctor visit included the statement, “You could benefit from gaining some weight.”

After the big birthday, the doctor said, “You could benefit from losing some weight.”

I never was at the perfect weight; I was either underweight or overweight.

I have the same problem with this blog. When I was nominated for the Liebster Award I found I did not qualify. I’m too big.

“Hi from Grow. Cook. Eat. Share.! I’ve enjoyed checking out your blog lately! So much so, that I’ve nominated you for the Liebster Award. Check it out:

When I read this rule I came to a screeching halt! At the time, I had over 500 followers and I am not eligible for the award. I’m too big.

I will take the time to answer the questions from Grow.Cook.Eat.Share.com

 

The 10 Questions for my nominees….

 

1. What is your favorite thing about blogging? Someone is listening to me! You know how your family tends to ignore what you say? Now I have an outlet.

6. What has been your most successful experience in cooking or farming? Turning the garden over to my husband. I will make a farmer out of him yet!

 

7. What has been your most epic fail to do with cooking or farming? Trying to start plants from seeds. All of our windows block certain UV rays and the plants don’t have a chance.
