Introduction to Blogmania 2010 - the best freebie giveaway yet!

I am one of the lucky 175+ bloggers participating in Blogmania 2010.

Blogmania 2010, is a world-wide, web event being held September 15 & 16th.  There will be over 175 blogs offering giveaway prizes on those two days alone that already total nearly $40,000. You’re going to have the time of your life as you visit these blogs and sign up for a chance to win their giveaways and learn about new products.  Many of them will be offered internationally, as well.  We're over a month away from this awesome event so bookmark or pencil in the date into your calender as you will surely not want to miss this extravaganza giveaway.

Free $50 restaurant Gift Card with Wedding Registry sign up

Anyone getting married soon?  If so here's a free $50 restaurant gift card so you can take a break from the wedding plans.

Mark from a Simpler Wedding Registry contacted me to let you know that you can get a free $50 gift card to the restaurant of your choice when you use A Simpler Bridal Shower Registry for your wedding gift registry. See site for complete details.

What I like about this registry is that you are not locked down to one online store.  You can pick a whole array of stores online which means you can not only choose your staple items like kitchen knives but how about adding a mattress or airline gift cards to the mix.  Guests can then compare prices online and pick the best price for their budget.  You can also choose items that can't be found online too so guests are not completely locked into buying online.  I wish I had this registry when I was getting married.  Now Mark - a lot of my readers are Mom's - how about designing a baby registry using this great concept.

How does your garden grow update

We started our organic vegetable garden this year not only as a cost saving excercise by growing our own produce but also so that we can control what goes into our vegetables and therefore provide healthy organic food for our family.  This project has been very successful so far and we still have a few more months left of harvest.  In order to provide healthy food all year round I've started to can my harvest so that I can still get the fresh and healthy taste during the winter and spring months. 

Yesterday, I spent the afternoon canning my tomatoes.  I had a lot of ripe tomatoes ready for canning.

I ended up with 10 jars of tomatoes.  During the winter months we love to make meatballs, spaghetti bolognese and pasta fagioli so these tomatoes will be used to make the sauce.  I added some fresh oregano and basil too to give it a little Italian kick.

I also made another 6 jars of Mrs Wages Bread and Butter Pickles too as these have been going fast.

While I was on a roll in the kitchen yesterday I made another batch of eggplant parmesan as I had 2 eggplants that needed to be used.  These don't seem to last long once you pick them.  I just breaded them and cooked in olive oil and put them in the fridge.  Tonight after work, I'll add some tomatoes and mozzarella cheese and bake them in the oven and add a side dish of pasta. 

For my next batch I'm going to think a healthier version of eggplant parmesan as the breading and olive oil while very tasty seems a little unhealthy.

Whats cooking in your kitchen tonight?
