From the Tropics with Love: August 6 - 12 WHB #95 edit

Dsc06651 What an Honor! We are hosting the WHB #95

August 6 - August 12  WHB #95
Send your entries to cookingdiva@
gmail.com 

It doesn't get much better in the culinary blog world than to host a WHB! Kalyn has done a marvelous work holding everything in place for TWO years (can you believe how time flies?), and at the same time making this event so enjoyable for all of us participants, hosts and lurkers?

Though tough, my built-in calculator is not always accurate (you know...the age and the too-much-candy factor sometimes affect us in strange ways!). I guess I have joined the party at least four times in the last two years! And, to tell you the truth, I think only the fact that we come back and participate, even after a few months of absence, means a lot.

Now, honoring the creator of this event, lets learn about it through her own words:

For a long time I avoided having official "rules" for Weekend Herb Blogging, in keeping with the whimsical way the event began. However, now the event is quite popular, and since other people are sharing in the hosting duties, I've decided to establish rules to keep Weekend Herb Blogging unique among food blog events.

These are the rules I've decided upon:

1. Entries submitted for Weekend Herb Blogging need to be posts written specifically for this event and the post cannot be entered in other food blog events. (Exceptions to this rule would be an event like Does My Blog Look Good in This, where the photo used for WHB was submitted later.)
2. Entries can be recipes and/or informative posts featuring any herb, plant, vegetable, or flower. When possible, bloggers are encouraged to add details from other sources so others can learn about the featured plant or ingredient.

3. Entries should contain the words Weekend Herb Blogging with a link to the host for that week. (Use of the Weekend Herb Blogging logo and a Tecnorati tag for Weekend Herb Blogging is always nice, but completely optional.)   

  4. Entries can be written any time during the week, but should be submitted to the host for that week by midafternoon on Sunday (Utah time) to be included in the Recap for that week. Please put WHB in the subject line of your e-mail to identify it for the host. At the discretion of the host, posts submitted too late will be held over for the following week.
 
  5.  (added 7-30-07)  To make it manageable for the hosts, each participant is limited to one entry per week.
 
  NEW, starting October 2006, you can check Who's Hosting Weekend Herb Blogging to see who the host will be a month in advance.
 
  Thanks to all the great herb bloggers around the world for your continued support of the event. I'm looking forward to learning more and more about new plants from many of you for a long time to come.

Now that you know...just send your scrumptious entries:

Melissa, I can hardly believe it’s been two years myself.  I just figure as long as people keep signing up to host, we’ll keep going.  Seems to be no shortage of interesting herbs, plants, veggies, or flowers to write about!  Thanks for hosting and for reminding people about the rules.

Holiday Sweetness: “The Sweet Tooth from the Tropics”

Now, ...every time I close my eyes, the spirit of the "holiday baking fairy" arrives with all those magical, almost baked perfumes. Oh, how vivid and fragrant those cookies, cakes, breads, puddings, brownies and cocadas are. Once the holiday baking fairy arrives, the best way to handle the situation is …
