The Recipe Exchange Olympics

Okay so one of MeLissa's favorite bloggers is participating in The Knitting Olympics and that gave her the idea that we should do something for the recipe exchange. So, she devised the following events not only to increase our membership, but to get all of our members to participate! Here's a list of the events our members will be participating in over the next two weeks:

Event 1 - Recipe Groups Aren't Built in a Day - In this event, every member who gets another person to join the group gets a point. The person who gets the most points wins!

Event 2 - Snow Bunny Beverages - In this event, group members will be submitting their all-time favorite hot beverage recipe for Mark and MeLissa to judge.

Event 3 - Olympic Fare - In this event, group members will compete to earn the most points by posting unique recipes. Additional points will be awarded for posting recipes which exclude all of MeLissa's allergy foods (no small feat!).

All of our contests have officially begun and will run through 11:59p.m. Pacific Time on Feburary 26, 2006. If you're one of our friends (blogging buddies count!) and you'd like to get in on the action, click on the purple box on the left and sign up for the group!

Oh, by the way, we should mention that MeLissa plans to devise some sort of award for our Olympic Champions - she just doensn't know what yet so you'll have trust that you efforts will be worthwhile. :) Also, MeLissa is not participating in any of the events to keep things fair so the playing field is level! We hope you'll join us! Once the games are over, we'll post the winners here and in the recipe group!
