This week I am celebrating 4 years of What’s For Lunch, Honey? It’s been a wonderful roller coaster ride and I’ve had so much fun through it all. Incredible 4 years of food, photography, recipes and friends – what a ball I’ve had.
I’m on my 609th post! Imagine the time I spent working on each – wow! But it’s these 609 posts that have found a way for me to express myself and share my thoughts, feelings and work with you. Through this channel I have been able to reach out and touch you.
This space has given me a few cherished friendships over the years and that is what means the most to me. Never did I think way back in February of 2006 when I wrote my first post (jaw dropping I know) that I would find a calling that would change my outlook on cooking and photography so radically. But it did. I’ve come a long way – and I want to still go on further. I hope you will join me and motivate me as you have the past four years. I could not do it without you all! Thanks for all your support.
Wouldn’t it be great to be able to toast with some bubbly? But we can and we shall. The party is on and I would like you all to join me celebrating 4 years of WFLH with a glass off classy Champagne.
I’d like you to go get your favorite bubbly, champagne would be best, but also prosecco or sparkling wine would work, pour yourself a glass, raise a toast to me, drink it and then think about how you could use the rest in a recipe.
What I am looking for in this session of the Monthly Mingle is your creations using champagne (or prosecco or sparkling wine). For those who do not like alcohol you can use the non-alcoholic version. Make a dessert, use it in a cake or make a sauce for your meat dish – it’s entirely up to you how you plan to use it – but I want champagne in it!
Here’s how it works:
- Create a dish that fits the Champagne theme as described above.
- Post about it on your blog from now till 16 March 2010 (entries must be in English, please).
- Your creation should be prepared for the current Monthly Mingle theme and only shared with a maximum of 2 other blog events. Let's try and keep the creations as fresh as the ingredients you use.
- You must provide a link to this post and/or the official Monthly Mingle page.
- Once you’ve posted your dish, please fill the Monthly Mingle form to send me your entries.
You can easily access the form via the submission button on the sidebar under the Monthly Mingle “Come Mingle With Me" section or via the official Monthly Mingle page.
If you have any questions, queries or issues drop me an email at:
blogmeeta[AT]gmail[DOT]com.
Never miss a mingle! Keep tabs as the Monthly Mingle travels around the world via the MM Calendar.
Here’s to a bubbly mingle – chin chin!

ReplyDeleteHi Meeta,
ReplyDeleteFirstly, Congrats on being 4!
Regarding the monthly mingle on Champagne, is it a mandate to have Champagne as an ingredient in dish? Or should it be a dish that can compliment Champagne?
looking forward to seeing what you are all going to be making!
ReplyDeleteMD - yes you need to have champagne (or prosecco or sparkling wine) in the dish itself. can't wait to see what you will create!
congratulations meeta - those mingles seem to come around quickly but they are always great topics and this is inspirational - will have a think about it as would love to share some bubbly with you
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Meeta. You're an inspiration to many. May your blog continue to encourage and give you joy..... Lots of love
