Default Shameless Self-Promotion: I have a new blog

Hi Everyone,

I know that this falls under the category of shameless self-promotion, but I'm certainly not above it!

I wanted to let you know that I'm launching a new blog today, right now in fact! My main blog is Almost Frugal, where I discuss personal finance and frugality from the perspective of an Ikea addicted American expat in France. I'm not a personal finance guru, nor a frugal queen; Almost Frugal is about learning on the journey.

Today I'm launching Almost Frugal Food, where I get to talk about food, culture, recipes and more as coming from the same place: I'm not an expert but I'm willing to share and learn.

I would love it if you would come and visit and share in the community! There is a weekly recipe exchange and next month I'll be having a contest in which I give away some regional food products from France (yum!).

Thanks,
kelly

+1 for using the Thesis theme.

+1 for being a food blog. (Who doesn't LOVE food blogs??)

i guess self-promotion is very practical, and honest. at least we could get directly to you for comments

I may just have to go poke about when I get the chance for some free time. Self promotion is a wonderful thing. I know I will be doing the same once I get my new domains set up.

Thanks everyone! I'm having a lot of fun getting to talk about food in a specific environment; I always felt that I was taking away a bit too much from frugality whenever I posted recipes on Almost Frugal.

@Greg, Thesis rocks! In fact, it's even better than good French, red wine, that's how much it rocks!
