Versatile Blogger

So I feel like a complete dunce.  Back in August, Rate the Plate Utah gave me a Versatile Blogger award, and I completely forgot to follow through with it.  Thank you, Diners of RtPU!  And may I ask your forgiveness for my untimely response to your recognition. :)

The rules after accepting the Versatile Blogger award are as follows:

1. Thank the person who gave you the award and link back to them in your post.
2. Share seven things about yourself.
3. Pass this award along to 15 recently discovered blogs.

Step 1.  Done.

Step 2.  

1. We're a family of four with two boys (almost three years and almost five months).
2. We have an aquarium with five fish: Thing 1, Thing 2, Super Why, Peeta, and Katniss.  (Gru and Sid died within a week after we bought them because one or more of the other fish nipped off their fins.)
3. Number two may have clued you in to what my favorite books are right now: The Hunger Games series.  I read all three books twice in a row in two weeks and would have started reading them again if I hadn't known how much teasing I'd get from my husband.
4. Half of the huge shelf above our washer and dryer is devoted to (and overflowing with) cookbooks, and a Costco-sized plastic storage tote in the garage is full of cooking magazines.
5. My husband is in his third year of dental school and only has four more semesters after this one finishes in December (hurray!).
6. We love to try new foods.  Even our two-year old is willing to eat at least a little bit of everything we give him (and most of the time he likes it).  His absolute favorite meal?  Shrimp Curry.
7. Our last name is a type of fish, which is where the title of this blog came from. :)
