Dear loyal readers,
I don’t usually post over the weekends, since I figure you are busy out doing things that don’t involve looking at a computer screen. So think of this as more of a letter, than a blog post. And like most letters you receive these days, this one is asking you to do something. (remember the olden days when ‘letters’ weren’t just bills and annoying catalogues?)
In this case, I’m asking you to vote for me.
Saveur has started accepting nominations for the Best Food Blog Awards of 2012.
Here’s how you can help:
1. Go to this page and enter my blog’s URL (http://www.eminchilli.com/) in the URL section.
2. Choose a category. You can pick three. The ones that seem to work for my blog are :
- Best Culinary Travel Blog
- Best Regional Cuisine Blog
- Best Restaurant Dining Coverage
3. Add a brief explanation of why you’re nominating Elizabeth Minchilli in Rome. (I guess it’s probably best if you don’t just say ‘because Elizabeth asked me’.)
4. Enter your name.
5. Enter your email (sorry!)
6. Now, just un-check those three little boxes so you don’t receive unwanted emails.
7. Hit ‘submit’ and you’ve done your duty.
Thanks so much, in advance, for taking the time to do this.
Now you can go back to not checking your email or twitter account or facebook for at least the next 30 minutes.
I won’t post again until Monday morning.
Promise.
Have a great weekend,
Elizabeth
You deserve the award, Elizabeth!
Thank you Rosaria!
Done and happy to have done it. This is what I wrote: I visit Rome often. When I am here in DC, I can be in Rome when I read Elizabeth’s blog. She is passionate, artful, smart, and personable. She cares about what she’s doing. I have been taken back to Rome most afternoons around 2 pm EST when her post arrives in my mailbox. I try to save it for when I can sit down and be in my favorite Roman neighborhood- Monti where I know she has been writing away.
Helen, you’re going to make me cry! Thank you so much!!!
Yay! Done! Happy to vote for you any time you want. 🙂

I love your blog! I stop by all the time, and should leave comments more often. Thank you!
I was very happy to do this. I love your blog.

All done and hoping to raise a glass and celebrate when I hear that you’ve WON!!!!

Vote is cast! Thanks for bringing Italy to my desk on so many mornings. Love your blog and can’t wait to return to Rome to follow some of your recommendations ……. a bowl of pasta, a dazzling cocktail , artichokes….it all sounds so good.
