Apple Crisp … still nostalgic about London & FBC!

LONDON BRIDGED…FOOD BLOGGER CONNECT ’09
“We cannot live only for ourselves. A thousand fibers connect us with our fellow men.” Herman Melville ‘Connect’ … To join or fasten together. We connected. At every level … friend, food, blogger, emotions … we finally met! Am back from Food Blogger Connect in London, and reliving warm memories, connections, amazing friendships & a feeling of happiness … some sadness too. Did time have to fly by so soon? It’s difficult to express in words what we all experienced, maybe pictures will help explain. Was impossible to imagine virtual hugs turning into reality, but it happened? We built bridges and connected the ‘dots’! Phew, crossing the almost non-existent line…

Lavender Mascarpone Cake … as delicious as it sounds
“Birthdays are nature’s way of telling us to eat more cake.” Author Unknown I changed my blog header 2 days ago with pictures of my birthday cake. How ambitious of me when I thought I’d post the recipe alongside. 2 days have zipped by & I am still struggling with my thoughts. Time, or the lack of it, is to blame, but I got a couple of emails this morning conveying how ‘torturous’ it was not to find the recipe posted and just pictures! Then my dear tweetbuddy Yogalili tweeted… @vindee waiting as patient as a spider for the lavender cake post…… & again… @vindee Get thee to thy master’s…

THE BLOGGERAID COOKBOOK … a cookbook with a heart!
Bloggers Uniting to Aid in the Alleviation of Hunger… We’ve been at it for a while. It all began with 2 wonderful, large hearted and fabulous ladies who joined forces in aid of world hunger. Val @ More Than Burnt Toast & Giz @ Equal Opportunity Kitchen began weaving a dream, an almost impossible dream, but hey, they did it! They focused on expanding their message and how to help others in need, in this worldwide crisis of world hunger. Val & Giz launched BloggerAid, and united a band of bloggers from across the globe, inspiring us to create & contribute original recipes for a cookbook. ~ ~ Now finally,…
