This week, Thin Crust, Deep Dish turned one year old. If this were kindergarten, we would have brought in frosted cupcakes for the class. Regrettably, this is not kindergarten. We know this because: a) We haven't seen nap time in years, and b) No five-year-olds have asked Adriana to marry them lately (we'll tell you all about that some other time). Still, we wanted to celebrate with you. And so we've baked you cupcakes. Now, do not try to eat the screen. These cupcakes are actually, physically located in Brooklyn right now, though in spirit, they're in your tummy. Celebrating. If you want them to be actually, physically in your tummy, you can find the recipe here. Just bake them in buttered muffin tins, and only for 40 minutes.
Some of you have been here for Thin Crust, Deep Dish's entire life (hi, parents!), while some of you are just now visiting for the first time. And so we're inviting your participation. One of the things we hope for this blog in its second year of life is that more of you readers will join the conversation through comments. If you're reading this, please leave a comment telling us a bit about yourself. (ALERT ALERT! Our comments weren't working earlier, so if your comment disappears after you try to leave it, please send us an e-mail over at the right where it says Contact Us. We don't want to miss out on any more of your fabulous input. Meanwhile, we're trying to fix comment issues.) Please also tell us what you would like to see more of here on Thin Crust, Deep Dish. We'll then pick one commenter at random from a mixing bowl, and you will receive a gift of one of these: Fat, Ratio, or Super Natural Cooking. Each of these is a book we love, with an author we respect deeply. Think of it as a reverse birthday gift from us to you.
While we're chatting like this, there's something else we'd like to mention. You may have noticed some of the little design tweaks we've been making lately here at the blog. Well, there are more coming. We're in the process of changing things around to make this an even more fun space to be. As things change, feel free to drop us a line and let us know what works for you and what doesn't. After all, we like our guests to be comfy.
Thanks for being here to celebrate with us. Happy birthday, little blog.

ReplyDeleteI loved the picture of the cupcake with the smoking candle. Happy Birthday to TCDD!
ReplyDeleteI love this blog! I can't wait to have time to actually try your recipes (silly law school...)!! A, I show all my school friends your recipes and pictures, and they think you are both a master baker/cooker as well as a fabulous food photographer! :)
ReplyDeleteHuzzah! Congrats gals, I am digging into the archive today to look into the sourkraut, yum! Ooh and count me in for the drawing as I am wearing out my Joy of Cooking and looking for new ideas.
ReplyDeleteHappy bday! I don't read this often enough, but Kylie and Adrianna, your talent for writing, cooking, baking, and photography are so wonderful... here's to a second great year for TCDD!
ReplyDeleteLove,Cindy
I would just like to say, it's been a thrill and an honor watching you two girls cooking amazing treats together in my kitchen since you were tiny little 7th graders. I can't wait to watch your continuing culinary co-evolution!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday!
Much love,
Mom
P.S. Do family members get to be in the drawing?
Well, I've been reading TCDD for as long as I've been Adriana's classmate :) and I enjoy it so much! The photos and recipes are top-notch (having personally tasted a couple of them as they were created...) and it's clear that you both have a huge heart for what you do! Keep up the great work and happy birthday!!

ReplyDeleteKylie & Adriana,
ReplyDeleteI am so proud of you. This is an awesome blog. I love the recipes, photos, reviews, etc. I will dive more into the blog and try some of those recipes out. I seem to have trouble posting so I hope this works. I miss the sweet aromas from my kitchen that used to wake me from my slumber at 1:00 AM when you girls would bake with Rach. I look forward to following the blog. Happy B'day. Great job. Love you, Doreen
Look at all your fans! you're sooo popular :) and rightfully so. Your site is amazing and gets better with every post. Love you both...~TP
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your one year blogging anniversary, Kylie and Adriana. What a great way to share your friendship and love of cooking with others. I always love to look at the pictures you post -- they are so beautiful. In fact, one night I was so inspired after seeing your photos and reading one of your entries, that I came home straight from work and spent the next six hours cooking!!
ReplyDeleteI also shared your blog with my new New York roommate, who coincidentally also blogs about food for a website called Foodzie: www.foodzie.com/blog. You might enjoy it. Small world the two of my roommates are food bloggers :o)
Here's to another great year of blogging!
Lots of love,
Elle
Happy 1st birthday, "Thin Crust, Deep Dish," and many more!
ReplyDeleteRock on!!

Happy Birthday TCDD! I hope the next year continues to bring us more of the same passionate posts and amazing photographs.
ReplyDeleteMike G.
Happy birthday, little blog! I like reading this even though I don't usually have the skill/ambition to attempt most of your recipes. Hope to see both of you sometime soon. :)
ReplyDeleteLaura
I can personally attest to the fact that at least half of these recipes are wonderfully delicious. And I'm more than confident that the other 50% are equally tastey. This blog is not only fun to read, but fun to eat. Yum.
ReplyDeleteYou two are amazing, I am so proud of you both. I love this blog and would not miss a single posting. It's been so fun to watch your growth throughout the year. Your photographic skills have really blossomed, and I love your writing and recipes. I too, can remember many a night when I lay in my bed while you and Adriana wafted culinary delights through out the house.
ReplyDeleteLove you, Baby,
Mommie
you two are woooooonnnderful! and i am so impressed about how this blog captures the wonder that is adriana and kylie. i really love the writing, photography, reflections, etc. you both inspire me to enjoy the little things, the thin crust and deep dish of life!
ReplyDeletekeep it coming!

Ok, so this is the THIRD time I've tried to post a comment... let's hope it works! Kylie, this is Hannah Snyder Chen... formerly without the Chen... from Studio East. Oh yes, way back when. I found TCDD through some random facebook stalking, and absolutely love it. This has been my year of culinary discovery - meaning, I've realized I actually do enjoy cooking (not just baking) as long as I have a recipe! This has been some great inspiration, and I love seeing what you guys come up with. So, thanks for the great recipes, tips, and photos! (And I can't wait to make the pumpkin woopie pies!)
