The 4th of July in the USA would not be complete with out a superb red, white, and blue dessert! Just look at "I Savor The Weekend's" Patriot Trifle . . . Beautiful!
Concetta from Concetta's Cafe is at it again with a tangy-sweet, perfect Lemon Glazed Party Cake. I'd love a slice of this right now with a cup of iced tea!

Oh Roz! Thank you so very much for featuring my Osso Buco! I'm really flattered. Hope your followers like it.
ReplyDeleteThank you too for becoming a follower. I really appreciate it. This week has been a bit of a write-off for me as far as cooking and blogging goes. It's school holidays here at the moment and our computer died on Tues. It meant we had to buy a new one pretty much straight away and then I had problems with the internet connection and downloading software. It never ends. If I don't get around to cooking/baking anything of interest this week, I'll certainly check back with you next week.
Can't wait to look through this week's submissions.
Thanks again Roz!

Hi Roz :-)
ReplyDeleteFirst off, Thank-you and Your Welcome! (about the comment you left on our strawberry muffins posting).
Secondly, I did link it up, and added your link to who I was linking it up to.
Thirdly, I have now added your link-up party to what will be our next edition of our 'round-up' of such events. We posted the last one on June 15th. Here is how your 'party' will read when the next list is posted -
~ "Fresh Food Friday('s) and Seasonal Saturday('s)" (now combined), are hosted by Roz, at 'la bell vita' (http://bellavita-bellasblog.blogspot.com). "the focus... is on food recipes and gardening posts only, in the hopes of focusing on the 'farm-to-table' movement taking place ..."
And fourthly, after browsing through several pages of your blog, we too would like to "follow" your blog, but we were unsuccessful in our attempt to find a way to do so. Do you have a way for people to sign up to get your postings via email, that I missed?
So-o glad that you found us so that we could find you! :-> !!!
