Windy City!!!!

Greetings from the Windy City!! Well, right now, it is Wet City for sure! If I didn't know any better, I might think it could be winter. Sleet, snow, wind, and rain, oh my!!!

Despite that, it has been a whirlwind since arriving yesterday. For some strange reason my inbound flight was delayed. We kept being told that possibly a VIP was in the Chicago area. I thought maybe it was Bruce Springfield or something like that, but not quite.

When my flight finally touched down I was greeted with a rather iconic, colorful aircraft. That aircraft, was none other than Air Force One!! That's  right, we were delayed because the President was in his home town. I thought maybe he wanted to make sure my welcome was extra special. Okay, we can all dream can't we?

Today marks my first full day in Chicago and right now I am planning on where to eat and what I will do today. Make no mistake, the weather won't stop me. It may slow me down, but we forget ahead.

So, until then, stay tuned as I am just getting started here! Can't wait to share it with you all!

My first blogiversary!!

Can you believe it?! Patrick's Table is a year old!! Woo hoo! I've been sharing my cooking fun, follies, and adventures for a whole year. It seems a bit surreal to think back over the last year. However, it was a great year and I learned so much. I look forward to so much more!

Also, I personally wanted to thank each and every one of you that has taken time, any amount of time, to read, follow, and enjoy what I have shared on here. You make this blog possible and you give me the courage to follow my passions. So, thank you!! 

In honor of this anniversary, I thought I would do a little contest. The winner of this contest will receive a batch of my all purpose seasoning mix, which I will make and send to you. Sound good?

Okay, here we go!

Pick either categorie and write me an email, which you can find in my bio, or reach out to me on social media.

1) Share your favorite experience relating to the content of my blog.

2) Tell me about something you have learned in the last year about food that has changed the way you cook in the kitchen.

I will select my favorite and that will be the winner! :) I will accept submissions until 4/21/16 and will announce the winner in the following week.

I can't wait to read some amazing submissions!
