New milestone - 75.000 page views

Why do you always have to take pictures of me, when I am sleeping, human ?

What an amazing number of page views - 75.000 page views - into to life here in my little kitchen and even smaller garden/park and tiny kitchen garden.

Friends keep asking me, why do you actually blog ? For me it is a way to stress off from work just like gardening, as you actually here can see, that something is happering like, when you are working in your garden. The trick for me is to say, when I have spend a certain amount of time in my garden or blogging, when it is more than OK to stop, letting everything rest and do something else or nothing at all, if you feel like this.

Within another short periode of time of only 7 months my blog about activities in my kitchen and garden has been having another 25.000 page views, so it has reached a new mile stone of 75.000 page view since the very beginning a little closer to 3 years ago.

Three blog posts, which have been written here in 2013 have actually made it into the overall Top 10 list, which is quiet amazing. The most amazing is actually the post on "Paleo (Stone-age diet) chocolate", which made into the overall Top 10 (being a number 7) within a time frame of 1 week !!!! So a bunch of Stone-age people must have made it into the virtual world - welcome :-) The two post from 2013 on the overall Top 10 list is "The ultimate strawberry cake - Strawberry cake version 5.0" and paleo related post "Stone-age bread".

1. TUC cake

3. Dinner at"Mad hos Mads, Horsens

7. Paleo (stone-age diet) chocolade cake
