Thank you, everyone, for your thoughtful comments. It seems that more people like the idea of having hosts. As long as I keep getting volunteers, I’m happy to have folks host the recipes. Thank you for continuing to encourage folks to buy the book. Just some information for you all – we have almost 500 bakers who signed up (and continue to sign up) but only about 75 who bake along any given week. We ask that you bake at least once a month to be considered to host. People who haven’t hosted have dibs over those who have. Only 10-12 people volunteer to host any given month. Anyway….
Hosts!
December 4 – Gingerbread Baby Cakes on pages 247-248 hosted by Karen of Karen’s Kitchen Stories
December 18 – Finnish Pulla on page 106 hosted by Erin of The Daily Morsel
Thanks for stepping up! And please e-mail me a photo a day or two early if you can.
I was just wondering also about when you can’t keep up but want to come back. Are you welcome back? and is it only hosting that you can do? I feel like a failure!
I meant can’t do hosting.
No failures here, Trish! You bake when you can and blog when you can. You are always welcome. The only hosting requirement is that you bake and post at least once a month.
Thanks… I will give it another go!
oh good. i only just saw these last two posts. i am glad we are sticking to hosts, too. it’s nice that way.
I’m glad we’re sticking with hosts. I always try to link back to them. It’s nice to give my readers the option to try a recipe or two.
I didn’t know that you had so few people volunteer to host. I’ll be sure to volunteer in January. Thanks for everything you do!
is there a chance of getting the recipes that are coming up for the next month posted on the recipe schedule page also? it would save the trouble of looking through old posts for them.
Thanks! I am looking forward to it. Such an honor. =)
Can you fix the link to Karen’s blog? It can’t find her blog…
Hi, I’m Karen. Here’s the blog. http://karenskitchenstories.blogspot.com/ I’m on the west coast so my post will be up at midnight PST.
