Happy 10th Birthday to I’m Turning 60… and its readers!!
Ten years!!! Wow!!! We’ve reached a milestone!!
I want to thank each of you for visiting, whether it's been on a daily, weekly or occasional basis during the past ten years!
Also, a big 'Thank you!' to those who've told their friends to visit!
The past ten years have been full of changes - some good, some bad - and I want to thank you for sharing the years with me.
I especially want to thank those who have commented.
I really appreciate it when you tell me that your family enjoyed a recipe, or when you ask if I have a recipe for a particular dish.
I’m Turning 60… continues to be more popular than its older ’sibling’ blog
Really!!
I’m Turning 60… - with 1,068 posts - has had over 818,900 visitors since July, 2010, when Blogger started keeping track of both blogs.
That's more visitors than its ‘elder sibling’ blog, Winnipeg is Better Than Chocolate, which has 2,769 posts, and has received a little over 433,800 visitors.
That's less than half the number of posts with almost twice as many visitors!

Okay… enough with tallying the reader numbers.
Let’s get back to the recipes which deserve the credit for all these visits!
I recently took a look at how this blog’s posts have been doing.
There have been a few changes in the order of popularity from last year’s favourites.
Here are the current all-time top ten posts:
Anna Sultana's Ross il-Forn - Baked Rice, Maltese Style
Carmela Soprano's Peppers and Eggs Sandwiches
Carmela Soprano's Peppers and Eggs Sandwiches
Italian Easter Pie with Ricotta and Meat
The monthly top ten choices usually go through more changes, especially during holiday seasons. During the past month these have been the top posts:
Please, if you haven’t already, do try a few of the recipes on these lists.
Anna Sultana's Imqarrun il-forn (Baked Macaroni, Maltese Style) has been viewed - and, hopefully, enjoyed - 12,712 times as of today.
I also get a kick out of seeing how you search for my blog, such as:

I'm always amazed at learning where you live.
I expected visitors from the United States, Canada, Australia and the United Kingdom since many Maltese immigrated to these countries, especially after World War II.
I’m surprised to see that Turkey is one of the top five countries, while the United Kingdom is a little lower on the list.
During the years there have also been visitors from Italy, Finland, Poland, Spain,
the Netherlands, Macedonia, Mexico, Afghanistan, Thailand, Slovakia, Ireland,
Denmark, Bangladesh, Sweden, Israel, Moldova, Malaysia, Singapore, Kuwait,
Greece, Kenya, Vietnam, Czech Republic, Brazil, Bermuda, Namibia, Cyprus, India,
Philippines, Japan, South Korea, Norway, New Zealand, Madagascar, Armenia,
South Africa, Romania, Iceland, Indonesia, Kyrgyzstan, Tanzania, Argentina,
United Arab Emirate, Belgium, Tunisia, Taiwan, Paraguay, Columbia, China, Jamaica,
Portugal, Bahamas, Kazakhstan, French Guiana, Côte d’Ivoire, Bangladesh, Egypt,
Kenya, Oman, Hungary, Belarus, Switzerland and Romania.
It is a small world after all!!
Now the top ten countries and their visitors are:
United States………….. 401,946
Canada………….……….…. 69,547
Australia………….………… 45,539
Malta……………...…………. 42,296
