We have a volunteer foodblogger starting up...tomorrow! 

 

I know I have commented in the past that you lot are such good guessers that I needed to keep the guessing-game period short. Well, a matter of a few hours is short. Very short. Rest assured, this is shorter than I'd have set it, but Life has gotten in the way of good timing. This is the first time I've been near a keyboard so I could post a teaser photo after receiving it. Honest!

To add to the compression, the forums will be going down at 11pm (CDT) tonight for an hour or three during the software upgrade (you HAVE read the banner announcement above, haven't you?) so there isn't much time left. I'll post one teaser photo now, and another in about an hour if I can stay up that long. (It's been a long, long day here at Chez Smithy.)

 

Guess away. Tomorrow morning, all will be revealed unless someone identifies our blogger in the meantime. :)

Panaderia Canadiense?  Probably misspelled her name....

 

xD

 

So much for too little time! You win the no-prize!

 

Here are the rest of the teaser photos.

This last, to me, is quintessential Panaderia Canadiense:

She'll open the foodblog tomorrow morning. Enjoy the anticipation, everyone!

I've actually done three, according to the index. I'd completely forgotten about 2011!

 

Me, too. O.o
