Welcome to the first Tuesday Twister Blog Carnival! The theme of this blog carnival is to share, through words and pictures, what’s twisting in our kitchens during the past week – with real foods, of course. At a minimum our foods should be real and whole, and optionally be naturally-raised, organic, local and/or seasonal. I cannot wait to see what’s been twisting in your kitchens!
Here’s how to participate:
- Publish a Tuesday Twister post on your blog. Include a link to this post: http://gnowfglins.com/2009/08/04/tuesday-twister-blog-carnival-2009-08-04/
- Come back here and add your name and the URL of your blog post in the MckLinky list (at end of this post).
- Next to your name, you have the option of putting a brief description in parentheses, such as: Wardeh @ GNOWFGLINS (coconut flour brownies – queso fresco – plum sauce)
- Leave a comment on this post – just for fun!
- Check out the other posts linked in the MckLinky list – let’s encourage and enjoy each other’s twister posts!
See here for answers to many questions and ideas for the Tuesday Twister Blog Carnival. If you don’t have a blog, please feel welcome to share what’s twisting in your kitchen in the comments below.
Adding the Tuesday Twister graphic to your blog:
If you wish to add the Tuesday Twister graphic to your blog post (optional), here’s how.
- Right click on the Tuesday Twister graphic, and choose “Save As” or “Save Image As.”
- Save it to your computer in the desired folder.
- Use your blog program to upload it and insert it into your post.
- (Optional) Link the image to this post: http://gnowfglins.com/2009/08/04/tuesday-twister-blog-carnival-2009-08-04/
Alternately, you may include the following image code in your post, which will not only pull the graphic from this website, but also link back to this post:

I’m looking forward to reading what everyone’s been cooking! I had more foods to post this week than I thought I would. It was a busy week in the kitchen.
Thanks for hosting us, Wardeh!

How come my post didn’t ping back (or whatever it’s called)? Did I do it wrong?
Marg, I’m not sure why it didn’t go through. But you can go back to your post and go like to edit it and then click “Update Post”. Then your blog will try to ping this post again.

I tried it but it didn’t work. I’m such a newbie. My post pinged back to your cold grain salad post so I don’t know why it didn’t here? Maybe it’s not my fault after all!
Marg – it did work, but it didn’t shop up yet because I had to approve it.
So you’re good to go! It did also ping the cold grain salad post earlier today, but you can see the one on this post now.

What a great idea, Wardeh, thanks!
Ren´s last blog post… Tuesday Twister
Great submissions, everyone! You’re really inspiring!
I wanted to get in this week, but I’m visiting my parents, so not trying much new. Next on my list: water kefir, canning tomatoes, lacto-fermented salsa in bulk (we liked the test run last week!) and….eating meals from the freezer to make room for summer produce! Oh – and dehydrating fresh peppers and zucchini for use in the winter. Thank goodness my friend keeps letting me borrow her dehydrator that she doesn’t use!
I facebooked about your carnival, too!

Hi, Jessy – at Real Food Goodness! Thanks for joining the carnival. I hope you’ll read the comments here because I am absolutely unable to post a comment at your blog, even though I’ve tried every browser in the house.
Here’s what I want to say about your beautiful contribution:
I’m jealous of your beautiful sourdough bread – I need to be getting into that but I’m chicken so far
My starter is going, but I am not. Thanks for participating in the twister – I’m so glad you did! Hope to see you next week, too, for round 2.
Katie – hey, thanks for sharing even during a busy time for you. I’m so happy you did! I look forward to what you’ll be sharing next week – good stuff! I need to try water kefir soon. I have some grains but haven’t got them going yet. So I’ll look forward to what you have to share. See you next week!
I just made the Tuesday deadline! I was enjoying reading this blog and the Such Treasures blog, and then saw this post. We had just made a fun recipe and I wanted to share it, too. I am excited about everyone’s entries!
