Just plugging a couple of posts on my other blogs…

I have a guest post on Found Not Lost, Jillian Gile who is a guest blogger at My Dog Ate My Blog. She writes for us, 10 Tips for Running a Successful Book Club. She has some really great and sound ideas if you are running a book club or if you’re setting up a new one.

On my cooking blog, I posted a step by step recipe on HOW TO MAKE SAUSAGE GRAVY. It was the highlight of our Weekend Leftover Brunch that I wrote about last night.

There is a saying in the south that hungry is a mighty fine sauce. I personally had never heard the saying in my part of the South before, but there must be something to it. Filipino cooking is sauce driven. We always have to have some kind of dipping sauce with just about every meal. My girls love the little dishes used for these sauces and we try to collect as many of them as we can. We always manage to put them to good use too!

One of our favorite sauce to make especially in the summer months is salsa. But if you’ve ever made salsa, you know how much work it takes to do all the chopping. We’ve gotten so we just blend everything in the food processor and it works out just fine. I’ve even taken to using the blended concoction to flavor certain dishes.

Check out this week’s food quote meme for links to recipes that use tomato salsa.

 
 
 
 
There is a new meme called Food Quotes that I have been participating in and having lots of fun with. All you have to do is match a food related quote with a photo and post it on your blog every Wednesday. Actually, the posting date is flexible. It doesn’t have to be posted exactly on Wednesdays, but the host posts hers on Wednesdays and you have until the following Wednesday to add your link to her widget. If you’d like to join in the fun, visit The Healthy Lifestyle blog for directions.

The photos above are the first three I did using Photobucket’s poster application. Just click on the links to see the bigger version and visit my food blog.

It’s salad season! The days are longer, hotter and sunnier and I’m loving it! Several salad posts are in our kitchen and more in the line up. If you like the bitterness of greens, you may want to check out these two salads’ raw and cooked versions of Turnip Greens.
