Best of 2009

2009 was a big year for me, and an even bigger year for Biscuits and Such.  I got married, I started a small business, I won $500, I became a twitter aficionado.  b&s had its 100th recipe, hit its 1 year mark, and has had a steady increase in visitors, praise, and pie love.  All around, I’d call 2009 a success.  I thought I’d get a little nostalgic on you today and share some of my favorite things from this past year, something to remind me of where I’ve set the bar for 2010.
