Admittedly, I do it all the time and I just made up a word for it: it's called over-enthusiasm. I'm not even going to try and defend myself. I plead guilty and hope the food blog police won't come and get me.

I didn't even dare looking at the chicken recipes archives to read the posts I wrote because I remember at least two times when I said the recipe was my new favorite. And I'm pretty sure there's a lot more.
