WHB#95: Roundup update edit

Can you believe that in nine more weeks we will all celebrate two years of continuous blogging friendship through Weekend Herb Blogging? Kalyn is cooking some ideas on how to celebrate the two year anniversary.

I'm not the only one who's been thinking about the upcoming anniversary. Haalo from Cook (almost) Anything At Least Once had an idea of asking people to post about their favorite vegetable this year. I like that idea a lot, and what a great collection of vegetable recipes that would be! We have ten weeks to decide how we'll be celebrating, so let me know in the comments if you have thoughts about this. (From Kalyn's WHB#94 Recap)

100x100whblogging012Since this is my first time hosting a Weekend Herb Blogging event, I am very happy because of your support and all the escumptious entries you sent during the past week. We received thirty seven entries from all over the world, what makes the blogosphere the perfect place to meet without having to stamp our passport. A few days ago I noticed that some of the emails sent to me with the WHB post's information, ended up in the "spam" folder. If I am not wrong, I rescued ten of them! I really hope that I didn't miss anyone, but if I did...please re-send your e-mail asap and I will include it in the recap.

Right now I am writing from the beautiful city of Philadelphia where I have been for the last 5 days for the United States Personal Chef Association Conference. I have met so many interesting chefs and bloggers, including: Mark Tafoya (Remarkable Palate & Culinary Podcast Network), Betsy (Ovens to Betsy), and Vickie (The Moveable Feast). In a few days I will write a complete report of the conference with some photos and a video. I will also include step by step photos of a couple of recipes I prepared yesterday in the workshop I taught: "Creative Freezable Meals From the Tropics."

In a few hours I'll be taking a plane to go back home. Once there I'll finish the recap of the entries we recieved and will post no later than tonight. So stay tuned!

Once again, thank you for your patience!

Melissa

Oh Melissa, it sounds like you’re having such a wonderful time.  Thirty seven entries is a lot!  (If I have kept track properly I think the record is 41, for a weekly event!)  We will wait very patiently, so no worries!  Just post it when you get done and everyone will be happy to come and read it then.

I wish I had know you would get to meet Mark so I could have sent my regards.  He interviewed me once during the whole *Cheese Sandwich* drama nearly two years ago.  He seemed like such a nice guy.  Meeting other food bloggers is always so fun.

Yes, I am still thinking about just how to properly celebrate for two years, so if anyone has ideas I’d love to hear them.  The two year anniversary is on October 14, if anyone wants to mark their calendar.  (It would have been a week sooner, but we skipped a week last year at Christmas!)

What a great party you are giving. Seems to become an exploding event. I hope you don´t get burning fingers during round up and yes I´m looking forward reading all the entries.
And I´ll bookmark October 14, not to miss it. smile

Sounds like you’ve been up to a lot. I couldn’t tell from the formatting of this post whether the underlined “Thirty-Seven Entries” was supposed to be a link that took me to this week’s review of the entries. If so, the link isn’t working. Looking forward to reading!

Melissa, I truly loved your class and the food was so good.  I was so excited about one special stinky ingredient, that I bought some.  I went with my friend Julie to Little Italy and there in a little tiny spice and tea shop, there it was.  They had it wrapped in plastic and sealed inside a glass jar.  When I said the name, Devil’s @#$, he knew what I was talking about.  It was just too funny.  So now I have some and I am going to learn to cook with it!  You were such an inspiration!  The next thing I am going to get are the banana leaves.  I am on a roll.  It was so nice to meet you in person, and you English was perfect!!

Best wishes, Claudia

La Receta del Dia: Keki de Coco y Miel (de Panama)

...Bueno, bueno...ha llegado la hora en que finalmente les presento una receta que me piden muy a menudo mis lectores: "Keki de coco y Miel", muy similar al que tradicionalmente se vende en las panaderias y dulcerias de Panama (...quizas hasta mejor!). Todos (o casi todos) los que hemos tenido la …
