The Big 1-0-0

I can hardly believe I have made it to my 100th post, and before the new year too!

I am so honored to have some loyal readers...and not just my family...

Thank you to everyone who is keeping up with my crazy journey.  For those of you who are new to my blog or may have only started following recently, I wanted to take this time to highlight my favorite 10 posts.  So here goes...

1) My very first Nutrition, Food, Travel and More Post: Start of a New Adventure

2) Here are all 3 parts of my post on a huge food festival that takes place here and lasts for 10 days.  It is known as Praia Fest and all of these main land Portugal restauants set up full service restaurant at the marina.  Part 1 Part 2 Part 3

3) Some pictures from around the island.  It is so beautiful here.  This is just a post with some random shots from around here.

4) If you are madly curious about who I am...READ THIS!

5) In our village we have an organic market.  Not only can you buy produce here, but some restaurants will also purchase their salads for serving on their menus.

6) This island is well known for it's crazy street bull fighting.  This is a post from the fight that ran in front of our house and the party we had for the occassion.

7) Ever done lateral thinking puzzles.  They are too much fun.  Click here to give these a shot.  Don't forget to grab a pencil and some paper.

8) If you're up for a lesson on food labels check out this post in the % daily value.

9) Would you eat at a restaurant that has a whale sculpture hanging out of the wall?  We did and it was GREAT!

10) Ok, ok, it is so hard to pick just 10, but last on my list is...a post about Monte Brasil, which is a large nature reserve/park in Angra.

Now that I have shared some of my posts in review (kill 2 birds with one stone as 2009 is almost...over!), I wanted to ask for everyone's thoughts on my blog.  I have recently changes my template, which most of you shared you really enjoy this new look.  I am wondering what kinds of things you would like to see me post about over the next year.  My blog title is nutrition, food, travel and more, and so I try to get a little of everything in there.  So, my questions to you:

1) In the area of nutrition...since I am a registered dietitian...what kinds of topics would you be interested in learning more about.  My areas of expertise are weight management and diabetes, but I have experience in just about every aspect.  I also teach undergraduate nutrition, so no topic is off limits.  Feel free to ask here, or you can email me at melinda_seff@yahoo.com.

2) In the area of food, I usually show restaurants, but I also show foods I prepare in the home.  Anything you would like to see more of?

3) In the area of travel, most of what I share now is the travel around the island, which is still new to us.  I hope to travel more during 2010.  Are there any things you have specific interest in learning about around this island?

4) Ok, for the more part...what more would you like to know?  What else would you like to see on my blog?

Again, thanks so much for your comments so far and for reading about my life over here.  I have really enjoyed making my first 100 posts and I hope I have many more to come.
