About us

Alli and Chris Horst

smorgasblurb1

Alli grew up in the midwest, where smorgasbords took place whenever enough leftovers accumulated. Chris was born and raised in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania–Amish country–where smorgasbord restaurants, featuring wonderful Pennsylvania Dutch foods, are scattered throughout the countryside.

The thing which makes smorgasbords great is that just about any food, hot or cold, spicy or bland, can make it into the buffet. That’s the way we feel about our blog, Smorgasblurb. It’s a little bit of everything. A little serious, a little funny. Our thoughts from our professional lives in economic development and urban education and ponderings on our favorite things, including our current home. Smorgasblurb. Something for everyone, hopefully.

    I can’t wait to explore your site and add your blog to my google reader :-)
    Great job! Great name for it!

  2. Chris, how can I add this to my RSS feed?

    • Laura, thanks for the question and for your interest in subscribing. We added a new link for RSS on the blog home page. Thanks for the heads-up.

  3. I will be an avid follower, stopping by often to help myself to the grub…deep and meaty or light and frothy! Can’t wait! Love you guys and SO happy for you, Chris, that you married SO well! Listening to the Phils win on the radio, knowing your voice is probably one of the lone cheers I hear in the background! :)

  4. Thanks for the invitation to dig into the smorgasboard of your lives and enjoy all of the tasty morsels. What a great way to keep connected. Thanks for the dinner invitation!
    We love you and think of you often and when we do we pray for you!
