The first announcement/guidelines post is here. With the exception of the new location for posts (that location being this com), everything there still applies.


First One round-up is here.
Round Two isn't so much "round up" as available in/as the May 2012 Archive for this com.

Discussion Post - for folks who want to hash out ideas with each other or throw up suggestions for what they would like to Know More About - is here.


On September 21st (or as close to it as possible) please:
(A) Post your entry to this com - include "Cooking for People Who Don't #3" or words to that effect in the title, and tag it with "Round Three"
OR
(B) Post your entry to a blog of your choosing - include "'Cooking for People Who Don't' Blog Carnival" or words to that effect in the title - AND post a link to said entry to this com


Over the 22nd and 23rd, I'll put together a round-up post so that we've got links to everything in one place. Any entries to the carnival that are posted after my round-up post goes up: Please leave a link to your post (no matter where you've posted it) in the coments section of the round-up post.


Looking forward to this! :-D


TTFN,

Welcome to the discussion post for Round Three (Theme = Food Preservation)

Some Suggestions to Get You Thinking:

Discussion Post for Round One (Food Security) is here.
Discussion Post for Round Two (Half Home-Made) is here.

From Round Two's Discussion Post:
Prior participants are very much encouraged to crosspost their previous posts to this community.

At the moment (I think...?) you must still join to post and your first post will be moderated. This is basically to prevent spammers: as long as your post is about food it's going to go through, and thereafter you'll be automatically approved.


Have at it! :-D
