How do you find Eggbeater?
Are you looking for this when you find it?
This being...
You know, a blog about food, sometimes featuring recipes, reports on faraway places, tangents about life and love, friendship and loss, photos of strange details you would never pay any mind to, T shirt selling, rants about the restaurant industry, farm and farmer goings on, political call to arms, fantastic baking tips, admissions of ineptitude, lists, dog photos, squirrel break-ins, the occasional long winded posts on my quirky findings, dark humour, links to kooky sites, work advice, announcements of upcoming events of interest, class announcements-- mine and others, visual stimulation, insider dish, big city excitements and country scents, my shameless advertising of where I'm consulting and making delectables and the odd piece on something that fits no category.
I can understand if you get here looking for that fancy pedal in a drum kit called an eggbeater. Or if you're looking for the fantastic eggbeater pedal on a bicycle. If you want to know something about the eggbeater swimming stroke or the eggbeater dance, you may also click on this here Eggbeater by accident.
But what I want to know is, how did you find this here blog by typing this phrase into the long empty rectangle Google box:
biker jacket porn
or
sarcastic quotes on minding your own business
or
famous kitchens from movies
or
ordinary chubby girls
????
and p.s. Did I deliver?
I found you because another foodie blogger mentioned you. I have been a daily reader since. (You turned me on to braised leeks, BTW)

I started a baking business and was looking for blogs maintained by people in the industry.
Eventhough Eggbeater did not pop up in my Google searches, I landed here (so thankful that I did) from another food blog which contains your link.
I read your blog everyday.
I used to live in California. Now I live half way across the world in India, overdosing on mangoes!

I just discovered that if you search for food blogs and then "search within results" for baking, eggbeater pops us as the 2nd result.
Way to go.

Shuna, you're many things, but "ordinary" and "chubby" you aren't.

The eggbeater found me. Maybe that's because I was hanging out in a bowl of milk, eggs, and flour.

OMG .. we should so have a meme on best nonsequitur Google searches that refer to our blogs. I'm always amazed.
But to be honest, I don't remember how I found you. You were just ... there.

If I were at work right now, I would be eating a cup cake..

Shuna!
I seem to remember you landing on my computer out of the ether. I can't quite remember a time when I wasn't reading Eggbeater, faithfully.
By the way, I read this post just after I put up my own on this very same topic. As I wrote in the last line to my amended post: Shunas and Shaunas -- they think alike.

LOL! I should have kept a record of the odd Google search terms that led people to my site. The one that sticks in my mind was "stuffed African babes" - urrrgh, I feel so violated!! ;-)

I don't remember exactly how I found your blog. I think I searched for "guanciale", after reading an article somewhere about traditional ingredients for spaghetti carbonara.

Being the gigantic Thomas Keller fanboy that I am, I found this lovely blog one day by searching Google for any information on the French Laundry or him that I could find. A blog post popped up containing the searched for terms, and I have been coming here ever since.
