Sometimes you get Happy Little Messages in your in box.
Sometimes they are from a close friend just saying they were thinking about you. Awwwww, aren't those so nice?
Sometimes you get a notification from a solicitor in Africa informing you that some kin you were not even aware of has left you a fortune! Wow... a fortune. All you need to do is cover a few legal costs and take care of the estate fees via a cashiers check and the grand fortune is yours!
Well I'll let you in on a secret. That is not a Happy Little Message. Nope, that's a delete and move on message. Trust me. Delete and move on every time. No exceptions.
But sometimes the Happy Little Messages are legit. Take this one from Christine Quinlan of Food & Wine. Yep, the magazine!
Hi Greg,
I cover kitchens for FOOD & WINE magazine and am putting together a piece that will feature 2 or 3 fantastic bloggers' home kitchens for an upcoming issue. Would love to include yours if you're willing. Let me know what you think. I look forward to hearing from you.
Best,
Chris Quinlan

Happy Little Message indeed. In fact just see what it led to! And I didn't even have to send them a cashiers check.

SERIOUS FUN FOOD

How awesome, congratulations!! I can't wait to check it out. I love the features that step into parts of people's homes, like their refrigerators and closets and stuff. This should be an excellent piece.
Stunningly Beautful

You make beautiful food in an inspired setting :)

Your kitchen
I've been ogling your kitchen for a while. I try to piece it together in my mind when i catch a glimpse. It is so beautiful! When i'm rich can I commission you to design mine?
What a Pleasure
Now I feel even more honored and grateful to have had the pleasure of meeting you and experienced your fine kitchen (and home) first hand. Thanks again for a great party.
Good Company!
Hey Greg! My kitchen is the "Suburban Chic" one in that feature. Happy to be in such good company and get introduced to your blog. Your kitchen is amazing! Love your appliances.
loved seeing your kitchen
loved seeing your kitchen Greg! and those black cabinets are an inspiration - pretty darn awesome!!
How can you work in a slum like that? ;)
As I've told you a dozen times, you kitchen rocks. I want a grown up vent hood.
To DIE FOR
That is what your kitchen is! I have a lovely one, too... but yours is better! I love the stained glass over the sink. Congratulations on this wonderful opportunity. What could be better, really - except - I hope YOU got a lovely little cashiers check for this!

Congratulations Greg. You do have a "to die for" kind of kitchen. Just that grouping of fish platters is enough to make anyone drool. Then the two refrigerators.....I could go on and on. It's fabulous news and I'm so pleased for you.

Congrats on the Food and Wine article! After seeing your video for PFB, I was in love with your kitchen - simply amazing and a cooks dream. You must be SO happy setting foot in there everyday. I have to agree 110% with Jun. Happy Holidays!!!
I Love That Window!
Greg, what an accomplishment, you have certainly arrived my friend! Not that any of us ever doubted you would. Not only are you the consummate blogger, but you have created a kitchen worthy of one of the best food magazines in the world!
It does make such a difference when you have a place to work and do your magic that actually inspires and nurtures. You have created such a space!
All the best!

Congrats!
It is so fun to get a peek inside your kitchen! Love those fish plates - beautiful. Well deserved that you got featured in Food and Wine magazine. Big congrats my friend :) XO
I Knew That :-)
Again congrats Greg. It was so much fun to turn around the page of the magazine and show my husband the feature and proudly announce "I follow his blog"!!!!! Kinda made me feel famous too.
That's Prodigious Greg:D
Food and Wine sensed your style from the pages of Sippity Sup. Good for you Greg!!
Wow!
Wow Greg, this is fabulous and a little message in an in-box that would make anyone of us proud! Stunning! Congratulations!

i'm so proud and happy for you all at the same time... you deserve all "good" that comes your way and more~ how fun is this? your home is amazing, full of style- comfortable and not overdone, so welcoming. i especially love all the personal touches that made it feel like a real home. so when am i coming over for dinner? geez i'll even cook...with you of course.
Wonderful!!!
Well DESERVED. You are a GREAT food blogger and did an amazing job with wonderful detail in your kitchen. I hope to see it in person :) If I'm lucky I'll get to be invited again.
Wow
Most bloggers have ordinary kitchens, even tiny kitchens, but yours is stunning -- just like you!
Congratulations
Our next home is going to be custom built, can I have you come out and give me some much needed astethic advice! ;)
Congratulations on all amazing publicity, I STILL think you should of won the Foodbuzz award!!!!!
Bravo
So well deserved. Your kitchen is GAWGEOUS...Can't wait to pick up the issue!
Yes, you do have to sift
Yes, you do have to sift through those messages to find the gems. Congratulations -- I'm only sorry it wasn't a 2 or 3 page spread so I could see more. I tweeted the online article saying "I wished I could spend the rest of my life in your kitchen"!
Holy Cow!
I saw those double refrigerators and my heart stopped beating for a good five seconds. Abso-freakin-lutely AMAZING! How do you ever leave your kitchen? I would live there, sleep there...gosh. I'll stop now before it gets out of control. :-p
And of course, GRATZ on the fabulous news. How awesome for you! :-p
I was jealous already...
...of your kitchen I mean :) And I think I might even be more excited than you are about your kitchen being featured in F & W. You go Greg!
Nice!
I am so glad I got to see it up close before the crowds and buses make it too hard to get near following such publicity! I love the expression 'serious appliances'. I long for such.
Trevor.
Congrats!
Wow congrats on getting into food and wine! Your kitchen is absolutely stunning!
Sweet ass kitchen!

I love it!
You have a gorgeous kitchen - totally worthy to be featured in this article! :)
Fun, fun, fun! You have a
Fun, fun, fun! You have a gorgeous kitchen!
Congratulations!
That is just The Best, Greg! It's not enough to have a swanky kitchen. There are plenty of people out there who have Commandment-breakingly wonderful kitchens who have not Clue 1 what to do in there except to show the caterer where he/she'll be working that evening. How great that you can play your kitchen like a virtuoso! So happy for such deserved recognition.
WOW
beautiful kitchen!!! congratulations :)
How awesome it that!
How awesome it that!
Loved Your F&W Feature!
My mouth dropped at those images of your kitchen! Wow...I want a kitchen like that (it'll never happen). I'd also like a happy message similar to the one you received to be featured in a premier food magazine....freakin' fantastic - congratulations! I enjoyed the feature in my very own issue of F&W.
On another note, it was great to see you last week at the luncheon, Greg. Thank you for taking some group shots with my camera for me. Happy Holidays to you! Hope to see you around next year at another event. :)
You're sitting on my dining room table!!
I just received my issue in the mail and there you are!!! You will be the center piece of my dining room table for a few days! We'll be able to say "we knew him when!"
Congrats friend!!
Oh, and totally envious of the plum stove!! To die for!!

GASP! That is awesome. Not only is your kitchen really cool but now you are famous. Ok, you are also pretty cute as well and always make me laugh. I was going to send this to your email but I knew it couldn't match F &W's email so I just posted it as a stupid comment.
How exciting!
Congrats indeed! I'll have to pick up a copy next time I head out to the bookstore. Hey, one more excuse to go, right?
Congrats on your success with the blog and feature. First time commenting and it seems to me you're doing an amazing job. Looking forward to reading more.
