Hi, everyone. I am sorry for leaving you hanging. I did end up winning 2nd place at Best of Blogs Awards for Renaissance Culinaire.

I appreciated everyone pulling for my blog. You guys were awesome! Everyone stepped up and wanted to help. That is why I love social networking & blogging.

The reason I have been behind is Me and my family are going through tough times right now. I can't even begin to tell you all the details. Just keep me in your thoughts.

I have started twittering to help combat the stress. So if you are as much of a twittering fool as I am - come follow me: http://twitter.com/Amber_ or get my blog updates via tweet at http://twitter.com/RenCulinaire .

Thanks!
