New Year’s Dinner Recipe & Photo Swap: The Results!!! 
This event has been great in so many ways, and I am glad we did it. It has been a fantastic way to portray the food traditions around the globe, to receive the New Year, and to learn a bit more about what our blogging friends do. They have opened the doors of their houses and lives through the computer monitor. Do not forget that. Many people talk about the "proliferation" of food blogs, yes it is true, but to tell you the truth I think it is fantastic because, as a friend pointed out a few days ago, there is not a better way to get interested in a culture than learning about their food.
We are planning on organizing similar events for other international holidays, and we will keep you posted about it with enough time for you to make plans and not miss the deadline to submit your entry. It is great to join the fun since the beginning, do not you think? Please e-mail me with your suggestions or post them here.
Now that finally we have counted, and counted again a few times more, the winners have been found. The winners are:

The Gilded Fork: “Rosca de Reyes Tropical al Cafe”
I have loved The Gilded Fork since it was Gastronomic Meditations! Now I am delighted to announce that I am officially part of the Gilded Fork's Test Kitchen Team!
It's a privilege to have the opportunity to work with Jennifer, Mark, Alder, Kelly, Eydie, and Monica.
This month's indulgent ingredients are Coffee and Chocolate, and my latest delicious recipe has been published: "Rosca de Reyes Tropical al Café" (Three Kings Tropical Bread with Coffee).
Rosca Rey de Reyes, or Rosca de los Reyes, is eaten in México, Puerto Rico, and Portugal on Twelfth Night (January 6th), celebrated in the Catholic religion as the day the Three Kings arrived in Bethlehem bearing gifts for Jesus of Nazareth. A tiny ceramic doll, coin, or bean may be hidden in the bread, and traditionally the person who finds it throws a party on Candlemass (February 2nd), or is in charge of preparing the “Rosca” for the following year.

What’s cooking in my kitchen?
There is a beautiful Thanksgiving poem waiting for you. Hope you like it!
I have always loved the writings by Mike (in Tokyo) Rogers. He has the distinction of being fired from every FM radio station in Tokyo - one of them three times! BUT, the best part is that he loves food. Do not miss his "Photographic trip to the grocery store", "Eating out in Tokyo for about $25 a day", "Japanese sandwiches are GO!", and two of my favorites articles: "So you want to be a sushi snob", and "The Future of Beef or 'Buddy Ever Eaten a Blowfish?". His new book "Schizophrenic in Japan: An American Ex-Pat's Guide to Japanese and American Society/Politics & Humor" is now on sale!
In the first photo I am showing off my new custom made plates I purchased in Ecuador. They follow the same technique used in Mexico to make "vidrio soplado", that are actually hand made, and hand painted glass pieces. Sin duda, a work of art. I prepared "Camarones al Ajillo", a traditional Panamanian dish that goes perfectly with steamed white rice.
Since we have access to wonderful seafood and fish..., I prepare them quite often. In the second photo, take a look at my "Mariscos a la Parrilla", or grilled seafood dish including shrimp, oysters, clams, corvina, salmon, and conch. As you can see, IF I have the pleasure to feed you,...you wont leave hungry!
Will be back with the recipes SOON!
Hugs,
Melissa
