For the Love of Food

All submissions for the May Round-Up of Taste&Create are finally in!

I’d like to announce T&C X – we’re getting close to our one year anniversary!! As you all know, the ruled can always be found here: http://forfood.rezimo.com/?page_id=581 . And, instead of commenting on the round-up posts to sign-up, you can continue to email me directly at: tasteandcreate@rezimo.com . Otherwise, you guys know the rest!

Looks like we had an excellent turn-out this time! All 34 participants turned in their post!  Three of us even had 2 partners! You have just made my day
I’d like to thank you for making my job easier. Thank you all!

As I have spoken of in the past, my husband (and IT guy) has finally come up with a better entry system so that we don’t have to do all this emailing and so that people are always paired with someone new each event. There are tons of features I’d like to add over time, but for now, I’d be content to cut my Taste&Create round-up blogging time from 6 hours to 1 or 2!! Yes, it takes me that long to put this post together sometimes!!! So, I have some tests to run on what he put together while I was on vacation, so next month there may be a new entry system for us to try out!!!
