OSI : Vote For The Florida Pie

A little behind on getting the features up, I’m really sorry about that. Had a few things come up! Y’all let me know who you want featured for their Florida Pie (and hopefully we’ll hear about a few new blogs this time!)

New Members: Week of May 11th

My apologies, I thought I had posted this already *blush*

Please give a baked and frosted welcome to…

Julie of Someone’s in the Kitchen

Jacque of Daisy Lane Cakes

Carla of Chocolate Moosey

Samira of Making Life Sweeter

I will be out of pocket…

Just a quick note to say that I will be slow on response this whole week and into next. I am having surgery on Friday and will be preparing this week. Nothing overly serious, so don’t be worried. I wanted you to be aware because I will be slow on the email response.

Thanks ladies and gents, bake on…

Alternate recipe for May 20, 2008

Hey ladies and gents… I know a lot of you may not have the correct pan for next weeks recipe. The alternate option is to go back and make one of the past recipes. We have covered quite a bit, and there are many in the back log that you may not have been a member for. Find one you like and bake it up!

Recipe for May 20, 2008

Tara of Smells Like Home has chosen…

Traditional Madeleines on pages 166-168.

Next weeks selection will come from Madam Chow of Madam Chow’s Kitchen.

Our Secret Ingredients : Ricotta And Polenta Cake

Scrumptious Photography

Kim’s pics left me without any idea what to say. This pic doesn’t look like some random blog, it looks like the sort of thing you’d find as the centerfold in a gourmet magazine! It’s the kind of thing that makes you grab a copy of the book in the impulse aisle because you need to know how to make that cake tonight!

She makes everything look like the sort of food you wish you could afford.

Fool For Food

Why is Claudia so great? Not only is her food tempting (can y’all stand how cute that one little apricot right in the middle is?), but she gives those of us who are linguistically challenged translations! That’s right, two posts when half the time I can’t manage one in my own language. Was cute mentioned?

The Way The Cookie Crumbles

They can’t be real can they? Have you ever seen more adorable food? You wouldn’t think that a recipe that sounded like this one did could turn out so tea party perfect! They make me want them, and I didn’t even like the sound of them in the first place.  Go Bridget, it’s your tart, go Bridget! 

The little tarts even look stylish before they’re baked. She really went for the win with her different types of fruit.

How-to: subscribe to all the TWD blogs

Let me take a moment to revel in my first staff post… aaaaahhhhhhh

Ok now on to business. I know that some members have expressed an interest in trying to streamline reading TWD blogs. If you are like me and try to hit up every blog every week, its very time consuming to read each blog since we have members from different time zones, who like to post at different times during Tuesdays, post late, or skip the particular week etc etc.

Myself (Clara from I♥food4thought) and fellow TWDer, Shari from Whisk: a food blog, have been working on her blogroll idea for the last 2 weeks to make it as easy as possible for all techie levels to understand. Let’s all pause and give Shari a *golf clap* right now. Do iiiiiiiiit. LOL

Now without further ado…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Don’t wanna miss any content from all the Tuesdays with Dorie bakers?

To subscribe to all the current TWD blogs—

1. Click the link. (http://www.bloglines.com/public/TWD-blogroll)

2. In Bloglines, click Export Subscriptions. (It’s below the long list of TWD members.)

3. Save the attached file somewhere on your desktop.

4. In your reader, import the subscriptions. (Since there are different readers, you’ll have to follow the instructions provided by your reader on how to import subscriptions.)

If you want to import to bloglines:
1. Log into your bloglines acct
2. Edit
3. Import subscriptions

If you want to import to google reader:
1. Log into your GR acct
2. Manage subscriptions (left column, scroll towards the bottom)
3. Import/export tab
* Just an FYI, if you import to GR all your TWD subscriptions will be mixed in with your current subscriptions. Since I have multiple gmail accts, to keep TWD separate, I use a different gmail acct/google reader and import to that one instead of my main one *or* another idea would be going through them one-by-one and putting into a TWD folder that you can create yourself.

EDIT: Shari via comments says she’s now separated the TWD blogs export link into its own folder so that should avoid mixing with your current subscriptions when you import to your reader! w00t! Shari rocks

At this time we only have problems with adding Helen Brain since there seems to be no feed available. Helen, I think you’ll have to fix that on your end.

We tried to check the TWD bloglines list many times but if we have missed your blog, please let us know and we’ll add you ASAP!

Also… Don’t worry! We haven’t forgotten about our new members! Shari has graciously offered to provide a bloglines export link at the end of the week that I will post within the new members post so that you will be able to add new members before the Tuesday posting day. Another *golf clap* for Shari!

Any questions and/or suggestions, please feel free to comment! We’d love to hear what you think!

Additional helpful information after the cut.

Allright y’all, make with the nominations for who you love as far as the Peanut Butter Torte! Get out there and uncover blogs you think the rest of us *need* to know about!
