My platter of Deviled Eggs

August 4th, 2009

When Kari of ArtsyMama said she was hosting a Blogging For Bliss party to celebrate the official release of Tara Frey’s new book, I honestly had no idea how an online party worked. I still don’t. So I RSVP’d and said I’m makin’ and bringin’ my deviled eggs. I don’t know who else is bringing snacky snacks, but you can visit all the RSVP’d guests on Kari’s sidebar under “BOOK RELEASE PARTY BLOGROLL”. Got to all of their blogs and DEMAND some party food.  I was hoping to have the B4B book from Lark to prize-off by the time I made this post - but it hasn’t arrived yet.  I guess that means another post, and another couple dozen deviled eggs to make.  I may even make Rice Krispy treats for that post.  Stay tuned.

There are 50 bloggers who contributed in Blogging for Bliss, so you KNOW it’s chalk full of great info. A must have book for all bloggers, especially a new blogger or someone jumping into blogland.  I’ve already recommended it to people who’ve asked me about blogging.  I LOVE THAT!  Blogging for Bliss to my rescue!  And thank you Queen of Cuteness Jenny for the adorable allsortsified B4B button!

I’m privileged and honored to be featured in Tara’s book.  The best part - is being featured along with some of my greatest friends…. like my flat mate page mate Happy. I love how Happy Loves Rosie and Happy Zombie were featured on adjoining pages. How happilicious! Now to convince my page mate to ship me her amazing Happy Shabby Vintage Caravan!  The way I look at it,  Happy and I are practically family now - I see no reason for her not to share her caravan with me (other then the Atlantic Ocean being a wee bit of an obstacle).

Mmmm… do I smell beans n weenies???

  3. The fabulous v and co allegedly said:

    give me some damned deviled eggs. i like these kind of parties because i can “eat” all i want, like gorge myself and it’s all calorie free. only it’s not as satisfying i have to give you that.



  4. The fabulous pam allegedly said:

  5. The fabulous Thimbleanna allegedly said:

    Holy Crap, did you say Rice Krispy Cookies??? You KNOW they’re my fav — that’s why you’re #1. Speaking of which, what’s this about a flatmate??? Can this be infidelity???

  15. The fabulous Kathi D allegedly said:

    I swear I am not making this up. Deviled eggs and Rice Krispies treats are on my Top Ten list of snack foods.

    I also enjoy cocktail weiners in BBQ sauce, in case you want to bring three things.



  16. The fabulous Jackie allegedly said:

    I just love deviled eggs, but there isn’t even a photo of one, hmmmm…… Congrats on being in the book, you certainly deserve it! Can’t wait to get my copy!
