Flash back to October 8, 2005. I'm a relatively new food blogger with my first point-and-shoot digital camera, and Weekend Dog Blogging and Weekend Cat Blogging are popular events in the food blogging world. I don't have a dog or a cat, so I post a photo of a bucket of basil on my blog and call it Weekend Herb Blogging. Truly it was a joke, but somehow other bloggers caught the vision. Indira joined in week two, by week three, Ilva was asking in the comments about posting herb recipes, and week four there was a complete recap including Farmgirl's gorgeous oregano. Gradually each week more and more people started writing about herbs, plants, vegetables, or flowers, and Weekend Herb Blogging was born. Fast forward to October 2007 and this week we're celebrating the two year anniversary of the food blogging event that started as a joke.
