Thanks for so many years (since 2004 in my case) of reading pleasure!

10 years, MM! I’ve been reading your blog for the past 10 years. No wonder I was starstruck when I finally saw you in person at the Cebu airport last February 27. :) I just had to approach you and introduce myself as one of your readers. If you will recall, I kept on glancing at you the whole time we were waiting for our flight (which was delayed) and your Chief-of-Stuff (I assume that was him?) always seemed to catch my eye. He probably thought I was stalking you or something. Haha.

Thank you for the 4,000 posts that have fueled my love for food and travel, inspired me and had me in stitches. I have probably read all of them.

Oh, by the way, your frozen lechon saved the breastmilk I was bringing home from that brief Cebu trip. My ice packs had already melted and I was afraid that the flight would be further delayed. I switched the ice packs with the frozen lechon and the milk made it home safe. :)

I realized that I have been following and reading your blog I think since 2005-2006. I based it on where I was working when I discovered your blog :) Cheers to all!

Congratulations to Sister!

Speaking of Sister’s jams, I used the Spicy Smokey Seville to glaze my Easter ham. I had previously only used it to augment my morning (and sometimes evening) toast (and it’s delicious that way, too), but inspiration hit and I’m glad it did! Delicious!

I’m thinking of swirling some into brownie batter next. Smokey chipotle peppers and seville oranges–they sound like perfect matches for chocolate!

Joining the chorus of congratulations and thank-yous. You’ve definitely inspired me, for one, on so many counts, not just in being an eater and a cook-er (tho probably more the former) but also the passion and integrity that goes into all those other aspects of a full life: being a philanthropist, an employer, a businessperson, a parent, a citizen. Always looking forward to more from you! :)

Congratulations on your 4000th post! People keep coming back because your posts are insightful and entertaining. I personally visit your blog whenever I have a question about local food products and ingredients that doesn’t seem to be sufficiently answered by a simple Google search. Sometimes I find the answers in your posts; other times I find the answers in the comment sections. :)

4,000 posts is most definitely something to celebrate! This may be mostly a food blog but I truly enjoy your rants/raves as well ;p Been reading your blog since college, and I even attended one of the first EBs in Gourdos BGC. Thank you, Marketman!
