I have to admit I’m having fun with this blog community stuff.  There’s a huge range of approaches to food, and people are writing about it all over the world.

I’ve recently been included in 2 ‘carnivals’, which are groupings of blog entries that pertain to a topic.  One is the Carnival of the Recipes: BBQ Edition, and the other is Carnival of the Grill.  In fact, I’ll be hosting the next Carnival of the Grill.  Submissions have to be in by September 5, 2006 (the day after Labor Day in the US).  Please send stuff in to give me lots to choose from!

I also decided to start up a Carnival of my own: The Carnival of Food Photography!  Instead of concentrating on a type of cooking like grilling or barbecuing, I want to focus on great pictures of food, with varying topics.  (get the pun… focus… photos…).

The first Carnival of Food Photography will have a submission deadline of September 10th… and the topic is:

(drumroll)

Grill Marks!

So, while there’s no stipulation as to the type of cooking or what’s being cooked, I want to see some GREAT grill mark photos.  These can be from indoor cooking as well as outdoor, but, when we have grilled items, those grill marks really get a lot of oohs and aahs!  So let’s see your best!

If you have any topics for the carnival you’d like to see, let me know.  I already have some in mind, but I’m open to suggestions!
