The Geeky Gourmet Says Farewell.

Running The Geeky Gourmet has been one of the highlights of my year. I have poured my time, effort, joy, frustration, and love into this blog. I started it with no knowledge of photography, blogging, or the majority of the cooking techniques I've written about. I've met many other food bloggers who have encouraged and supported me throughout this year and all of you have a special place in my heart. I've discovered talents I did not know existed through this project, and I owe a huge thank you to every friend who commented on my Facebook, to every blogger in another state or part of the world who bothered to pay attention to what I was writing about and tell me to continue doing it.

It is with great sadness that I say this; but I cannot continue to post to this blog. I have been going through a lot these past couple months in my personal life and it is too hard to give my readers the consistant and quality content that they deserve. I am working towards a stability in my life, and I feel as though I get a little closer everyday but I am not there yet.

I have plans to start another food blog, this one will be exponentially better in content and design. I will be working on it little by little in what spare time I have, and with a little luck I should have it up and running within the next year.

I will still be available to bake for events and lessons and I will be happy to answer any cooking related questions at my personal email: tripsfantastic@gmail.com.

Thank you guys for a great year, and see you soon.

All my love,

Kristi Hamilton

  2. Hey K, will you please let me know about your new blog when you start posting to it regularly? I'd like to see your new 'vision' for blogging.
    I hope you get your personal stuff together too. You can do it. Just take one day at a time, and try to make good, unselfish decisions for yourself and the people you love. I, at least, think this is the key to 'stability'. It has been for me so far...
    Hope all goes well, K, and hope to see you back in another form soon.
