I love entertaining and with this virtual mingle I'd like to invite you over to join me and my guest hosts for a bit of fun, story telling and hopefully a lot of laughter.
The Monthly Mingle runs from the 1st through to the 30/31st of the respective month. The theme and deadline to the Monthly Mingle will be announced on the last weekend of the prior month. This deadline is only the specific date the actual theme ends on and the date you should send me your entry by. It is not the date you must post your entry on your blogs.
This mingle should be fun and flexible. So, don't stress yourself! If you are cooking up something in your kitchen and think this could be an entry to the actual theme, then send it over.
Here’s how it works:
- Create a dish that fits the respective theme as described in each announcement
- Post about it on your blog during the relevant deadline (entries must be in English, please).
- Your creation must exclusively be prepared for the current Monthly Mingle theme and cannot be submitted to any other blog event.
- You must provide a link to this post and/or the announcement post and send the details to me or the guest host (see below).
Please check the Monthly Mingle Calendar below for details on who is currently hosting the Monthly Mingle.
I hope I have thought of everything. I know I am the typical fretting hostess, but enough of all the fretting and let's get on to the party!
Monday is still good three days away, Meeta. Don't do this to us. God, I can't bear the suspense...
ReplyDeleteI may even cook for this...that way, you know you'll have someone to make fun of :)
ReplyDeleteVaishali sweetie,
ReplyDelete;-) It is the suspense in all good things (movies, books etc.) that keep us coming back. I think we both living in Germany will have a good time with the theme!
Alex, I am shocked! ;-) I think I speak for all my fellow bloggers ... no one will make fun of anything you make. I will be honored if you take part. Monday I'll announce the theme!
I'm really looking forward to this :o) I'll definately be taking part!!!
ReplyDeleteI already noted your event post, the day you posted it- and no way I'm missing it :) I had thought about making this weekend breakfast blogging public, but was wondering about the response as my blog isn't one of the hottest visited ones yet- But if you think it can be done, it will be a wonderful idea...Do give me a few tips ;)
ReplyDeleteMeeta,
ReplyDeleteIt's Monday morning. Where's the theme? How do you want the Football to come? Oops, did I let out a secret? :)
Phew! After massive trouble with Blogger I have finally managed to post this. The Google Blogger forum was on fire the whole day. Apparently Blogger was having some serer trouble and bloggers all over the world were not able to post. But it seems to be OK now.
ReplyDeleteSo, Vaishali, here is the theme! To my first mingle Football's coming home! Look forward to having you here!
This is a fabulous idea. I must remember to take part.
ReplyDeleteFabulous blog btw :)
Looks like fun. I would love to participate, but have you decided yet what the August theme will be? Or is this post not being updated?
ReplyDeleteHi Erin,
ReplyDeleteThe August theme will be announced sometime on the weekend of the 16/17th. Right now "Grill it!" is the current theme and you have till the 15th to send in your entries.
hi meeta, i just sent you my MM entry for spring cakes...i am not sure if you received as the form kinda got hanged, can you pls confirm..thanks..waiting for the roundup:)
ReplyDeleteHi Meeta,
ReplyDeleteI just love your MM. I would like to be a host for the event. Please do let me know if you have any free slots. My mail id is bengalicuisine@gmail.com
Hi Meeta,
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to know about the MM that I am so excited to host next month. Please let me know, whether I should a theme or you'll suggest me one.
Hi I would love to host a event in Feb do let me know thanks
ReplyDeleteSuch a brilliant idea! I don't have a cooking blog anymore, but I'd love to do a fashion-themed version of this!
ReplyDeleteI have done my South African Mingle, I filled in the entry form, I hope it went through - didn't see any confirmation.
ReplyDeleteHi Meeta,
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous blog and such refreshing photography..
If you're repeating this in 2011, I'd love to host. Since my blog features slow-cooking, that would be my suggested theme but soups, stews and chillis would also work.
Best,
Jennie

ReplyDeletePlease do :)

Richa

Hi! Such a great idea - I entered the April Topless Tarts - just wondering when the May Mingle is going to go live?
ReplyDeleteWhenever possible, I will try to take part in that wonderful event.
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Rosa

ReplyDeleteI want to see everyone's dishes. I'm really excited.
ReplyDeleteHi Meeta. Will you be continuing Monthly Mingle in 2013? I had so much fun participating last year and would love to continue with it. Cheers, Kelsey
