Soup to Nuts!

Kilroy, from The Gonzo Papers, asked me many months ago to host a course for his progressive Blogging Dinner...a Carnival with five different courses.

In the middle of moving at the time, I promised I would host a course later...and here I am.

I'm hosting the First Course...the one that whets one's appetite for the rest to follow. I think my entry will be short, perhaps, with a hint of spice.

Here is Kilroy's announcement, with links to follow in order to enter:

The Soup To Nuts Progressive Dinner Blog Carnival Is Coming Back This Summer

{Enter}

Blogospherians {A Kilroy_60 original} in the know, those who value the social aspects of blogging above all, participate regularly in carnivals. There's no better way to promote your site and to connect with other bloggers.

The latest, greatest innovation is the:

Soup To Nuts
Progressive Dinner Blog Carnival

The way a progressive dinner works is...

you start out at one house or restaurant to have hors d'oeuvres and cocktails, then move on to a different one for appetizers, and continue moving from place to place all the way through dessert.

Soup To Nuts combines the power of blog carnivals with the adventure of a progressive dinner, while adding a dash of whimsy.

You can enter as many as five posts in the Soup To Nuts PROGRESSIVE DINNER Blog Carnival. If you wish, you can enter a single submission; or two or three or four or five.

How does it work that you can submit multiple posts to one carnival; and why would you?

---(-)-> You could say, Soup to Nuts is FIVE CARNIVALS in one. All five are connected, to make one megacarnival. <-(-)--- Remember, there are five different host blogs involved. If you submit five posts, every one of the host blogs will have a link to your site. Entries are being accepted NOW. Don't be one of the people who come to enter late; to find they have no seat at the table. {Enter}

Dinner is being served 31 July

No entries will be accepted after 11:59 pm, Friday, 25 July

Entries are being accepted NOW

The Rules...

---(-)-> Only English language posts will be accepted.
---(-)-> It's a FREE FOR ALL! - meaning you can submit posts on any subject, no matter when they were written.
---(-)-> No posts with titles that include profanity or pictures of a sexual nature.
---(-)-> Posts will not be accepted from blogs that publish primarily adult-oriented material; that means no sex blogs.
---(-)-> Please do not submit the same post for more than one course

Have any questions? Let me know!

It's the first time I have hosted a carnival...but some of the courses are fabulous.

Since I am hosting the First Course, I imagine I'll serve something light...a taste of scrumptious ideas for the courses that follow.

Think about entering. Perhaps you'll come up with a frothy dessert, or a savoury First Course!
