For the Love of Food

I have such exciting news for you all today!! I am literally days away from opening our new Taste&Create home to the world(wide web)!!!

Soon you will have a new site to go to just for this event, a place to log-in, submit your entries, sign-up for future events, etc! I am just so excited. The new address will most likely be http://tc.rezimo.com or http://tasteandcreate.rezimo.com. I haven’t decided yet, which do you like better?? I will let you know when it’s up and running…and I still have lots of testing to do before I let you all use it, so we will probably officially use it first in August.

In even more exciting news, I have finally found a direction for rezimo.com and have made it into a Tastespotting clone with some new features that are not offered on Tastespotting or Food Gawker. I have been working day and night on this project and am finishing testing. Check back at some time this week or check at www.rezimo.com to see if I’ve opened the site up. Right now there’s only a place holder.

But, more about this all later, we are here to see what everyone has come up with this month! I have been so busy doing a million things and catching up from the time being sick in the beginning of the month that I haven’t taken a head count to see if we are all in attendance this month. So, if your partner has not posted anything, or you yourself have not posted anything, please drop me a line!

On a more frustrating note – many of you did not follow the usual rules. I had to fine summed up phrases myself, partner’s blog names, etc. I don’t like going to bed at 2am… For those of you who did provide me with everything I asked for, I thank you profusely!

With that being said, I’d like to announce Taste&Create XII (that’s right, we turn one this month!!). The rules are here! Play fair.

On with the show!
