If you’re interested in helping the earthquake victims of Chile and are unsure of where to make a donation, you might want to consider the international disaster relief agency ShelterBox.  They deliver emergency shelter (a ten- person tent, blankets, water purification, storage equipment, a stove, cooking utensils, basic tools, children’s activity pack and other vital items) to people affected by disaster worldwide.         

 

I first mentioned ShelterBox after the quake in Haiti.   They’ve helped many people there and are now helping the earthquake victims of Chile.  You can read about it here and here.

Recently, I received some awards from very nice food bloggers.  Thanks for making me feel honored and special.

 

Kat from Our Adventures in Japan passed on the Sunshine Award to me.  

According to Kat, "The Sunshine Award is awarded to bloggers whose positivity and creativity inspire others in the blogging world." The rules once this award is received are as follows:

1. Post the logo on blog.
2. Pass the award on to 12 fellow bloggers.
3. Link the nominees
4. Let nominees know they have won this award by commenting on their blog.
5. Share the love and link to the person you received this award from.

 

Sophie of Sophie FoodieFiles passed on the Happy 101 Award. 

 

I’d like to pass both these awards to EVERYONE who stops by here and always leaves a comment.  That means all of YOU.   Thank you for your presence on my blog and your kind comments.  Kat and Sophie, thanks again, for thinking about me.

 

Best,

Paz

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 



A Few Awards

November 30, 2008 | Filed Under Awards | 22 Comments 

Some really super nice food bloggers have passed a few awards to me.  Two gave me the awards a few months ago (Okay, okay last year – I never got a chance to acknowledge them publically.) and others recently passed along the awards to me this week.  Thank you, thank you, thank you!  I’m honored by your kindness.

 NICE MATTERS

 

Thank you, Tanna (My Kitchen in Half Cups)!

 

ROCKIN’ GIRL BLOGGER

Thank you, Sra (When My Soup Came Alive)!

 

A PERFECT BLEND OF FRIENDSHIP

Thank you, Mikky (My Finds…)!

 

SUPERIOR SCRIBBLER

Thank you, Olga (Mango & Tomato)!

 

Now, it’s my turn to pass these awards along.  The Superior Scribbler has specific rules on how to pass the award out.  I’m sure the other awards also have rules to follow to pass the awards out.  However, I’m going to do things a little differently. 

I’d like to pass the award to the following:

1-  My guest bloggers who generously helped me out while I was recuperating from surgery during the summer — Mischief Mari of Cha no ma-ri, Layla of Laylita’s Recipes, Simona of Bricole, Ilva of Lucullian Delights, Elizabeth of The House in Marrakesh and About New York, Sra of When My Soup Came Alive, Kalyn of Kalyn’s Kitchen, Haalo of Cook (almost) Anything at Least Once, Lydia of The Perfect Pantry, Rebecca of From Argentina with Love, Christine of Christine Cooks, Amy of The Heart of a Seed, and Jasmine of Confessions of a Cardamom Addict.

2-  Everyone listed in my Links section.

3-  Everyone who has stopped here (So if you’re reading this right now, that means YOU!).

Of course, you are under no obligation to accept this award or pass it on.  I’m simply doing this in the spirit of frienship and fun.  I appreciate you and your blogs.

Oh, and if anyone is interested, here are the original rules to pass along the Superior Scribbler Award: 
1. Post the award on your blog
2. Link to me for giving it to you
3. Link the originating post here
4. Pass it on to five deserving people
5. Post these rules for your recipients

Best to all,

Paz
