Happy Blog Day -- August 31, 2006!
On Blog Day, participating bloggers are supposed to spotlight five blogs that they have recently discovered (Read more about it here). This way, the highlighted bloggers receive exposure and a cross-cultural exchange is enhanced. Most important of all, Blog Day encourages us to extend our regular blog reading routine to look at other blogs that we normally wouldn’t.
Within the past year, I’ve discovered so many new blogs. If you don’t believe me, check out my link section, which has quietly gone out of control. It seems like I discover a new blog every other week. The five blogs I’ve listed below are not nearly enough. Check out my link section for more blogs, which may be new to you.
Here are my five highlighted blogs:
1 - Cook (almost) Anything At least Once:
I love this blog. The photos are gorgeous and the posts are very informative. Latest interesting recipes from this blog include Leche Frita (Fried Milk) and Walnut Butter Cookies! Yum!
2- Gattina:
Here’s another blog with creative foods, beautifully prepared and dreamy photos. It’s inspiring.
3- Tapioca Flour:
This blog is by Valentina, who also writes Trembom in English (and a few other blogs). There! I snuck in an extra blog! ;-) I’m interested in Brazilian cuisine and Tapioca Flour is all about that.
4 - AkshayaPatra
This blog features “Recipes from India and Around the World.” Everything there is enticing and new to me. There are more beautiful pics to see there! I want to eat each meal prepared there.
5- Raven Ridge Gardens
Christine’s blog features wonderful photos of a beautiful garden of flowers and nature. In addition she also has a cooking blog called Christine Cooks. Yay! I got to add an extra blog as a two-for-one deal. ;-)
Oh, no! I’ve reached five blogs already? I’m still going to list a few more blogs below:
Discovered this week!
Pia & Co.
Blogs I’ve been reading for a while but feel they deserve a special mention:
Küchenlatein
Na Zdravi
Yogurt Land
Up A Creek Without a PatL
The Flying Apple
Blog from OUR Kitchen
Kafka Na Praia
I guess I should stop here, huh? ;-)

OH thank you Paz, you are so sweet.
Needless to mention that your blog always is among my favorites too... Have a great day and I would love to share one of the last warm evenings with you on my terrace here in Vienna, chatting and laughing... angelika
Thanks for the tag Paz. And my garden blog will love you for this. It sits there all by its lonesome most of the time. I'll have to get some new posts on it soon! ;)
Thanks so much, Paz, that's really nice of you. I am going to check this BlogDay think out tomorrow and participate!
Just tried to leave a comment and something happened ...
Anyway, what I was trying to say, Paz, was thanks so much for including me. That was very nice of you. I will check out BlogDay tomorrow morning.
Ciao.
Oh Thank you so much Paz! That's really sweet of you! My Blog Day post will be up tomorrow..
Thanks Paz for reminding me, now I'm off to write my list!
Thank you for mentioning me, although I write almost in German!
Sweet Paz, thank you so much for mentioning Tapioca which is a little plant growing ever so slightly.I am really moved by your sweetness.
Hi Paz
Just a short note to let you know that I have featured you as one of my five blogs on Blog day
Dianne
Thank you Paz for the mention - it really is lovely of you to do this!
I love that phrase "quietly gone out of control" hahahahaha
And I know what you mean about "Cook (almost) Anything At least Once". It's one of my favourites too. I'm not at all familiar with the others. I'm afraid to look though. My list of blogs that I like to check regularly is pretty much as out of control as yours. So out of control that I keep forgetting to post in my own. :^]

Hi Angelika! It would be wonderful to make it down to Vienna!
Hi Christine: I love that garden! ;-)
Hi Anna Maria: My pleasure!
Hi Chandrika: You're welcome!
Hi Ilva: Can't wait to see your list!
Hi Ulrike: My pleasure!
Hi Valentina: Thank you!
Hi Dianna: Your back from your honeymoon!? Thank you! I'm honored to be placed on your list!
Hi Haalo: Thanks for your blog!
Hi Elizabeth: Your blog was also another I wanted to list for Blog Day!
Have a Happy Blog Day, everyone!
Paz
Quietly out of control...yes, I think that's me.
You certainly are way ahead of me as usual Meeta, I'm always finding new blogs but you've got a bunch here I've not been to. I think it will be dangerous but I'll be checking them soon.
Hi Paz! I'll go and check out your list now...
Cheers!
Thank you for including me Paz! It was really sweet!
Awww Paz, you are so sweet to mention my blog, thank you so much!! I have enjoyed your blog so much and it makes me want to live in NYC (preferably next door to you!) Thank you for being such a great friend!
Paz, you are such a good pal. Thanks so much for honorable mention on your oh-so-popular blog. I'm honored!
Hi Paz,
Just to let you know - you are one of my chosen 5.
Happy BlogDay!
Hi Paz,
I've finished my Blog Day 2006 post and have linked to you numerous times on both of my blogs. Do you know why those links don't appear on your blog?
I'm so tech-challenged when is comes to figuring this stuff out!
Thanks again for picking me.
Hey there, Tanna: Would you believe I also have bookmarked blogs, which aren't listed on the side? *sigh*
Hi Mae: Have fun!
Hi Karen: My pleasure!
Hey Dianka: That would great to be neighbors. But you may change your mind after meeting one of my dogs. ;-)
Hi Pat: Popular? LOL! I don't think so. I'm honored to know you.
Hello Aja and welcome! Thanks so much for adding me to your list. I'm really honored.
Hey Christine: Thanks for the special mention on your blog! Cool! I'm not sure why the links haven't shown up. I think maybe it takes a while for Blogger connections to pick up? I'm just guessing. Let's see what happens. ;-)
Best to all,
Paz
Happy blog Day dearest Paz! Un abrazo,
M
Hi Paz!
I have recommended your blog for Blog Day 2006 at my blog.
Dear Melissa: Same to you! Mil Besos!
Hi again, Chandrika: You are so kind and I'm honored. Thanks!
Paz
Hi Paz, just want to let you know that you are on my list as well. Can't wait for the weekend for abundant time to explore some of the listed blogs!
Have a great weekend.
Thanks for bringing Blog Day to my attention, it's been great fun exploring all these new blogs!
Oh, wow! Anna Maria! Thanks for the honor! Yes, over the weekend, I'll have a lot of new blogs to check out! ;-)))
Hi there, Ellie: You're welcome. I agree, it fun! ;-)
Paz
I guess I will have to read Na Zdravi since you love it so much you listed it twice. :)
Hello Peabody: Welcome! LOL! I hadn't realized I'd done that. But yeah, I do love it! Hmmm... This will give me an opportunity to substitute the repetition with another blog. ;-)
Best,
Paz
Thank you, Paz!! And what a good kickstart to make me actually post in mine instead of just reading others.
I too have blogs bookmarked that are not on my sidebar....
-Elizabeth
Hi again, Elizabeth: I think you post adequately in your blog. Everytime I go there, I find a new post. Way to go!
Paz
