This is something we’ve been working on that I’m very excited about: the brand spankin’ new Food Bloggers Network!
It’s a community driven site where members submit their favorite posts from food blogs, and vote on them! (Think “Digg” for food bloggers).
I hope you’ll join in and share your delicious food blog posts with us!
Bryan Alvarez of Shoots. Eats. Leaves. has posted his round-up of October’s Lasang Pinoy. This was a particularly special event, being Lasang Pinoy’s Anniversary Edition and featuring the theme Cooking for Heroes. Not the immensely popular television show, no, but Filipino heroes- like Jose Rizal, Andres Bonifacio, even the People of People Power!
Will it make you hungry? Yes. But what I love about this round is how interesting all of the write-ups were. Make yourself a cup of tea and go read them.
I hope it’s not too early to mention that I’ll be hosting January 2008′s Lasang Pinoy: Crockpot Cooking! To join in the fun, I suggest you sign up for the Lasang Pinoy mailing list.
It doesn’t sound very sexy, but I’m loving Open Source Food, a new “social network for food lovers”. Lots of gorgeous food photos and delicious sounding recipes abound, but my favorite section has good to be the Tips area, where I got tips on poaching eggs and taking better food pics.
Go check out Open Source Food, or go directly to my page there.
It’s one of the things I love most about the web: a link here, a click there, a pop-up here, a splog there, and suddenly- you strike gold. It could be a photograph that captures your imagination, a social networking site that connects you to an old friend you miss, a search engine that makes you feel really lucky, or a blog entry that just makes you smile.
It was the latter that led me to first discover Burnt Lumpia, with his entry titled I Think I Shall Name Him… Kal!, wherein he- an American Pinoy named Marvin- searches for and finds a kalamansi tree to call his own:
“Pssst!” I heard him say to me as I walked past.
“Pssssssst!” I heard the familiar call again.
“Pssssssssssst! Hoy!”
And there he was, a lone Filipino hidden behind Meyer Lemons and Valencia Oranges. I had found the one and only Kalamansi tree in the nursery. Woohoo!
Since then, Burnt Lumpia has been one of my daily blog visits. His latest post, An American Pinoy in Paris, features, among other things, some mouthwatering gelato and- my all-time favorite, and what has to beone of the greatest inventions of man- french macarons. Mmmm.
This is my first post in a new category for this blog, Delicious Food Blogs. You can expect more features on other food blogs I love coming soon.

I’m a sinigang nut, and can have it every day. This version, made with fish in miso broth, is what I’m craving right now.
The list of Asian women foodbloggers is growing, much to my happiness.
