First to post after Bug
I just want to let you know I am first the first to respond Bug. But ummm.... What now?
Welcome to the Dancing Beardalls!
Hello there! You've just stumbled across what is destined to be an internet sensation. You've already heard of the Trapp Family Singers, and the Osmond Family--I give you...the Beardall Family Bloggers? I feel it needs to be said that the name of this blog is a bit of false advertising. We, the Beardalls, are definitely NOT dancers. After much brainstorming, during which many names were suggested and cast aside (Those Bleepin' Beardalls, for example), William Holcomb Beard's painting "The Bear Dance" provided a winning source of inspiration. So, we apologize to any Beardalls out there who actually do dance and could have legitimately claimed the blog title. Congrats on getting the only dancing genes in the family, and hey, we are probably related!
This blog was created in part to remedy a common occurrence in the family: Sibling A calls Mom for a favorite recipe, inevitably writing it on a scrap of envelope or a sticky note (wait, maybe that is just me). During casual conversation between siblings, the topic of dinner menus usually comes up. When Sibling B finds out that Sibling A is having Mom's Famous Sloppy Joes, Sibling B usually thinks to themselves, "Hmm, that sounds rather delicious!" and requests the recipe from Sibling A. If Sibling A is me, they probably refer Sibling B to Mom so as to not have to actually type out the recipe and/or hunt down the title-less sticky note the recipe is written on...
...I forget where I was going with this. ANYWAY, the point of this blog is for all of us to post recipes, pictures, stories, you name it. It's sort of like other people's family cookbooks, only a little more techno. We are 21st Century, yo! If you have something really scrumptious for dinner, you can take a pic and post the recipe here, for all the rest of us to enjoy. Or if you have already planned out an entire week's worth of recipes, THAT IS EVEN BETTER! You can share it here, receive all the glory, and we will reap the rewards of your hard work.
Well, enough of my blabbering. Post your little hearts out!

P.S. Cater, I appoint you Official Family Editor, so that when I have terrible grammar, it is totally your fault.
