I started my Year in Review in Pictures in 2009 (2010<\/a>‘s review, 2009<\/a>‘s review) as a complement to my text-heavy Year in Review full of tools, sites, and statistics I started in 2006 – I’ll be posting that later this week.<\/p>\n

In January<\/strong>, I started to share some pictures from a great trip to Thailand<\/a> I had just completed:<\/p>\n

\"Thai<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In February<\/strong>, the international holiday I founded, World Nutella Day, celebrated its 5th anniversary<\/a> and I made one of my favorite recipes for the event so far – Flourless Nutella Chocolate Cake<\/a>\u00a0which was appropriate also since I published some information about gluten-free food and restaurants in Italy<\/a>, too.<\/p>\n

\"Flourless<\/a><\/p>\n

In March<\/strong>, I shared more photos of street food from my trip to Thailand<\/a>, and one of my favorite treats in Rome, the maritozzo<\/a>, before heading to the US for work<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Fried<\/a><\/p>\n

In April<\/strong>, I shared a teaser of the Fernet Branca factory in Milan<\/a>, and I reflected on food photography and what I choose to put in front of my lens<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Thai<\/a><\/p>\n

In May<\/strong>, I shared more of me with you when I publicly shared my Mother’s Day card for my Mom<\/a>, and I told you about my struggle with my weight and health<\/a> which led me to open a new healthy living site, Food Blogger on a Diet<\/a><\/strong> (you can keep up with things there, but I can let you know here that things are going very, very well with my health). I was also featured on one of my favorite series about travel: Pret a Voyager’s Boarding Pass<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/object><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In June<\/strong>, I shared some pictures from a past fun evening with other food bloggers at one of the best restaurants in the world, Alinea<\/a>, and I had a new culinary evening with my favorite bloggers in Rome and one of my favorite wines, at the Franciacorta aperitivo at vinoroma.<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Porchetta,<\/a><\/p>\n

In July<\/strong>, I started a long trip back to the States for work and more, and put together a little primer for people new to my site with Ms. Adventures in Italy in 7 links. <\/a><\/p>\n

\"Boat<\/a><\/p>\n

In August<\/strong>, I presented at both BlogHer<\/a> and WordCamp San Francisco<\/a> in the States before heading back to Italy to enjoy the last rays of summer in Puglia with one of my favorite dishes, pepata di cozze.<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Pepata<\/a><\/p>\n

In September<\/strong>, I relived summer through my pictures and a video from my trip to Kauai (on a helicopter)<\/a> and reminiscing about all the foods and sights of summer I love in Italy.<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Two<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Pane<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/object><\/p>\n

In October<\/strong>, I wished myself a Happy Birthday as I do every year with a semi-healthy personal cake<\/a>, and had a lot of guests visit, and travel for work and pleasure. I also started posting some photos taken with my mobile on my “mobile blog<\/a>” – most of which are then Tweeted on Twitter<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"No<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In November<\/strong>, travel continued and I reflected on writing raw after a trip to Venice<\/a>, and I was really excited to publish my ebook on Amazon about How to Order an Italian Coffee in Italy<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Sunshine<\/a><\/p>\n

\"How<\/a><\/p>\n

In December<\/strong>, I went to Paris for LeWeb where I nervously presented<\/a>, and then spent the rest of the month trying to recoup from all the previous months’ travel and busy-ness prior to leaving for Kenya for Christmas (pics to come). I revisited Barcelona and the impact experience and people have had on my travel outlook and photography<\/a>, too.<\/p>\n
