In case you missed it last week, where's the beef recently entered a new millennium, with the publication of our one-thousandth post. To mark the occasion, everyone is invited to join us for drinks, snacks and good-times at Grumpy's Green this Sunday from 3pm onwards.
As long-time readers will know, Cindy and I are both nerds and it is in that nerdy spirit that I offer up some blog-stats over our first 1000 posts.

hurrah I made it to the nerd list - love these lists and feel I now have a reputation to defend with my frequent comments!
ReplyDeleteGreat to see an excellent Melbourne vegan blog, with restaurant reviews!
ReplyDeleteI've linked to you guys on my blog (vegienoob.blogspot.com), you don't have to link back to me, but it would be awesome if you decided to :)
Wow that is a great achievement. Hope for 1000 more.
ReplyDeleteTotally bummed I can't make your celebratory drinks as I have to fly up to Canberra for work that afternoon :-(
ReplyDeleteBut there is every reason to celebrate, as you are most certainly one of the best blogs out there (...and one of my personal favourites too!).
So have a drink or three for me, and here's to 1000 posts!
PS. Gee..we've certainly had a long online relationship, huh? We're almost family :-)
Thanks, Claire! We appreciate the link love. ;-)
ReplyDeleteJohanna, we'd be very happy to have you visit as often in our second millennium. :-D
Hi Kate! Thanks for the link. We've got you in our Melbourne blog list, so you'll get a link up top whenever you make a new post. :-) And just to clarify - we are vegetarian, not entirely vegan.
Thanks, Mark!
Thanks for the kind words, Mellie! We appreciate your support and have thoroughly enjoyed seeing your blog evolve over these past 4 (!) years.
Hey guys, so sorry we didn't make it - our first day of looking after a 3 year old wiped us out! Hope you had a fantastic time and congrats again, xR
ReplyDeleteHappy 1000th post! What a milestone indeed. Congrats and keep up the great blogging.
ReplyDeletei love your new "tweaks," especially the illustrations! i've always admired how your blog is so easy to navigate through. you make every post so enjoyable to read, keep them coming! :)
ReplyDeleteNo worries, Miss T! Hope you were having fun pre-wipe-out too. :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Adrian!
