Such fun e-mail recipe exchanges are going around, and I love them. However, having, ahem, less than 20 friends, I could really only do it once without bothering everyone I know with like 5 recipe exchanges. So I wondered if you lovely bloggers and readers out there might like to participate in a virtual recipe exchange. Here’s the scoop:
1. Pick your current favorite recipe.
2. Post it, or a link to it, on your blog by next Thursday.
3. Comment here with a link to the post where your recipe lives.
4. Voila, we all get new recipes and perhaps some new readers too!
5. As a special added bonus, I will put all of your names into a hat next Thursday night (Pacific) and pick one, then send that person a handmade treat! So be sure that the e-mail address you include with your comment can reach you so I can find out where to send your gifty.
*If you don’t have a blog or feel like it fits in with your blog to post a recipe, feel free to just post the recipe or a link to the recipe in the comments here.
Yay! I hope you all join me. I’ll be trying out some new recipes this week (it is cold here and I’m craving soup, so I have little bookmarks on every soup recipe in my arsenal), so I’ll play too.
In other news:
*I’m super excited about Marta’s Back2School Swap! I love school supplies now I have an excuse to browse the more fun aisles of Office Depot (though of course I’ll also be making at least one of my swap contributions! it will be hard to pick just 3 items).
*There was an extremely low tide at the beach this weekend that revealed all kinds of amazing things at the tideline
*The mystery fruit tree outside our house at the beach has revealed itself as a plum!
Sadly all of the fruit is totally out of reach, and most of it seems to be split while still on the branch. But at least the birds are happy.
*Packing up my craft area is making me a little bit batty. I’m thinking of starting a few small, portable embroidery or crochet projects so I don’t suffer from really awful craft withdrawl! The upside is that I will very likely have little bags of scraps and crafty things I do not want to pack when it comes down to the wire– if this is so, I’ll give you all a chance to claim them once the deed is done!
