It's Learning About Cooking, Ya'll. Seriously!

Hey, ya'll!!! No, I haven't gone off the deep end! We've simply gone looking for non-"schooly" learning in blogs around the world! This could be the start of something grand!

Announcing February's Blog-o'-the-month! Gourmet Gadget Gal is a blog celebrating food and the comfort and ongoing learning that a love of food and its design can bring to your life. Call it a whim, call it madness, but GGG was nominated for January and win it did. This is a timely reminder that there's more to life and to living it than educational research and dialog, but if you look closer (and we do encourage you to do so), there's lots of learning and teaching going on in blogger Jane Gaither's ongoing efforts to share her passion for cuisine!

Would you like to see a theme explored here? Email scott@scottmerrick.net with the theme or anything else you would like to suggest to make the Bloggers Hut mo' bettah.

During the month of February in the Bloggers Hut, we will be choosing which educational blog we want in the RSS feed for the entire month of March. This month I'm making it up as I type it. Be happy. Don't worry!

Here are my nominees (I can't _wait_ to see what they are!) and the color to click to vote for your fave:
