I received an email from my sister, Andrea, who has been an enthusiastic supporter of my various creative ventures dating all the way back to when my pal Sanford and I launched a curbside “Indian Chewing Gum” stand outside our house sometime back in the late 70s, in which we soaked the chewy pith of the inside of a dried wild mustard stalk — “Indian chewing gum” — in either of two flavors, fruit punch or maple syrup, and tried to sell the soggy mess to the rare passerby.
I believe Andrea may have been the only person who purchased one.
She had received an email to nominate blogs for the 2015 Saveur Blog Awards. Her email, to me and several other family members, was as follows:
“I nominated Sean. Dude, you should do a quick post about this Saveur nomination thing! You’ve got so many followers who would want to nominate you! DONT BE SHY, this could be a really lucky break!!”
So fair enough — here it is, my gentle attempt at self promotion. If you would like to nominate Skinny Girls & Mayonnaise for a Saveur 2015 Blog Award, click here. Only takes a few seconds.
If not, I encourage you to go check out said sister Andrea’s very funny blog detailing her life as an “accidental Texan”.
And in the meantime, wherever you may be, enjoy!

Dude, I appreciate the promotion but you didn’t give my blog address which is theaccidentaltexan.me
Good for you for the gentle self promotion!!

Ahhhh, I spoke too soon!! You had a link! Even better and way more techy!

How do you put that link in there, anyway?

You highlight the part you want to link to, and then you click the little chain icon in the edit bar, and it’ll ask you for the URL.
