Makes You Think

I'm honoured to have been tagged by Beccy  at  Peppermint Tea  for a Thinking Blog Award .  I now get to nominate the five blogs that have made me think. In  no particular order they are:

1. Becks and Posh  I've always been a label reader when I shop but Sam has made me  push myself just a little bit harder to question where my food comes from and to eat local as often as I can.
2. I'm Mad and I Eat  She's not really mad in the insane sense you know,  just a bit  of politics mixed into her food posts. Cookie Crumb is  into the eat local thing too.
3.Nordljus  Keiko's blog was one of my early blog discoveries.  She has an eye for capturing photos from angles most of us wouldn't consider. She constantly inspires me with her attention to detail when she cooks and her artful way with her photography.
4.Jam Faced I've been reading the  writings of Monkey Gland since his first post. He is serious about his food, has a great sense of humour and isn't afraid of talking about what happens when you eat bad food.
5.A Blithe Palate  Cath doesn't get to post as often now she has baby Puggle to take care of, but a few of her most memorable posts cover love , death,  fathers  and a visit to the British Museum.

I've nominated you for this award consider yourself tagged only if you want to accept the challenge.
1. If you wish, write a post with links to 5 blogs that make you think.
2. Link to this post so that people can easily find the exact origin of the meme.
3. Optional: Proudly display the Thinking Blogger Award with a link to the post that you wrote. (I'm not displaying the logo because I have absolutely no idea how to.)

I am honoured to be in the list with some of my favourite people, funny to think I was actually hanging out with both Cookiecrumb and Jam Faced less than a month ago. And I have also met Keiko. Now, if only I could meet you...

What Sam said!!!
No, seriously, I'm flattered beyond words that you picked me, and I have huge respect for the others on your list, so that's saying something. (Wait. I thought I was beyond words.)

Beccy - and thanks for the tag.
Sandy - I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.
Sam - Air NZ transits SF enroute to London now so maybe.
Cookie - I'm sure you'd never be beyond word.
MG - Your ode to your Dad was pretty special too.
