Seems there are a lot of retrospective post out there at this time of year, featuring favourite experiences or popular posts. Being that I haven’t posted yet this year (because I’ve been busy with lots of exciting projects, including the sold out Death Row Meal Club, Taco Edition), I thought this would be a fun jump off point for a year of exciting content on CommunityFoodist.com. Thanks as always for reading, and for your support I do this for you guys.

So, Im going to do a few things here. Firstly, is a recap of the most popular posts in the history of this site, and lets go with a top 10. Shall we?

1. Eat. Drink. Learn. Rest. Repeat. - one of the best culinary events in Ontario. This post has had more than 3.5 times more hits than any article on here. Wow. 
2. Picnic - my first visit to the fundraiser for Slow Food, held by Evergreen Canada at Brickworks. I understand that they will not be doing this event again, and will be instead looking at new models of fundraising and different events. Looking foward to seeing what happens with this. 
3. Welcome to the Neighbourhood Fanny - this reminds me I need to pay another visit to Fanny, soon. It has been a while, and recently Geoff Hopgood was consulting with them on their menu. Interested to try the food again. 
4. Savouring Stratford – A Day Spent Foraging in the Country - a great day, put together with the help of our friend Suresh
5. Jarcake - I was reading about 2012 food trends and this was on the list, food in jars. Seems I was ahead of the curve :) 
6. Chocolate Schmeared Pomegranate Shortbread - absolutely adore these cookies, and thought about making them again during the holidays but didnt get to it. Might make some this week. 
7. The Elvis Brownie - stay tuned for something along these lines coming soon. Been working on a recipe for about a month now. 
8. Olde Hunters Feast - legen----dary.
9. Dialoguing - talking about how we choose to live. 
10. Making the Farm to Fork Connection - Oh, sigh, how I love the farm and my farm family. 

What about some of the top posts from just 2011? The top 4 posts were a part of the top 10 above, so I will list a top 5 beyond those entries. 

Welcome to the Neighbourhood Fanny, Jarcake, The Elvis Brownie, Olde Hunters Feast

4. Meaty Pie - Venison and Berkshire pork, together at last.

Does anyone have a favourite post that you have enjoyed over the last couple of years? I would love to hear about it.
