happy anniversary to us

That's right: One year ago today, Gruel for Dinner was born. One year ago today your bl*g mistress made not just her first but her first three posts here (someone was apparently quite bored on March 7, 2009). In the intervening 365 days, the readership of GFD has doubled from six to twelve people; I've made many pots of gruel; the yachtsman has made me fat on cake; and J Quizzle has made lots of comments, god bless him. To celebrate our first birthday, I'll be making not just one but three posts here this week. There will be gruel. There will be a free giveaway. And the most exciting Yachtsman Recommends segment to date. So set your bookmarks, clear you cache, and get ready to accept your cookies [whatever that means; the yachtsman wrote this part], 'cause it's year two of GFD.

Thanks for reading, bitches.
