LiveSTRONG With A Taste Of Yellow - 2008

Ta daaaaaaaaaaaaa.  LiveSTRONG Day 2008 has been announced. This year it is on  May 13th.

Here in the food and wine blogging community we will be supporting  LiveSTRONG Day with our A Taste of Yellow event. Remember last year when 149 bloggers participated?  149 fabulous bloggers made yellow food to show their  support for LiveSTRONG Day 2007 . Some chose to share their own cancer experiences and some told stories of their support for their friends or family experiencing cancer.

Please join me again as we remember those loved ones who are no longer with us, support those still fighting and celebrate with those who have won the fight.

I've added a second element to this years event which I really hope you will join.  A photo competition. You know you all love to play with your camera as much as you play with your food.

To enter the photo competition you will need the Lance Armstrong yellow wrist band. They are available to purchase on line  here at the LiveSTRONG store .   To be considered in the judging  the yellow wristband must appear in the photograph of the recipe you are are submitting to A Taste Of Yellow. If not entering the photo competition just post a photo to accompany your post and recipe.

There will be rules because there is a prize. The publishers of  photographer Lou Manna have kindly donated a copy of his book Digital Food Photography  to go the winner.

RULES FOR LIVESTRONG DAY 2008

2. Participants make and post any recipe they chose. Recipe must contain an element of yellow food.

That time again already? Wow! How time flies. I loved participating last year and I will this year, too! I wish I would say I didn't know anyone who was touched my cancer this year, but unfortunately 3 in the last month - 3! Ugh.

[beccy]

[chrisb]

You have my support.

[MommaMc]

[R khooks]

Wow! Time certainly does fly. Will start racking my brains for a recipe. Looks like the competition is going to be stiff this year ;-)

[joey]

Glad you are doing this again this year! Have a couple of yellow dishes already in mind :)

[Kalyn]

Such a great event. I will definitely enter this year.

[Patricia Scarpin]

I loved being a part of this beautiful even last year and I can't wait to do it again, Barbara!

[Lisa]

I will be trying this year, if nothing else than to draw attention to this great cause!

[Rossella]

Great! Of course I'll participate.

[Rosa]

Cheers,

Rosa

[Asha]

I just came to know about this Barbara. I will make something for this event, may not be for photo competition though!:))

[Erin]

My brain is already turning away coming up with the perfect yellow entry. I just started a food blog a few weeks ago and can't wait to start participating in food blogging events. No better way to start than with this great cause!

[Deeba]

Count me in too...All I gotta do is find a Livestrong band here in India...the rest is in my hands! Will keep my eyes peeled. What a great idea. Cheers Deeba

[Johnny Zone]

[Isa]

I'm in! I already know what recipe I'm making! Thanks for this great chance!

[barbara]

Thanks everyone. I look forward to receiving your entries.

[Jeanne]

Oh count me in! This is such a great event and it will be a pleasure taking part again. I lost a friend to Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma in the last year and anything that raises awareness or advances the search for a cure is a worthwhile cause to support.

[laura]

Wahoo- I'm in!! Am off to the store for inspiration...

[Tracy]

I am so excited for this event. It is a brilliant idea. I am brainstorming ideas right now.

[Deeba]

[Cristie]

Thanks so much for sponsoring this event. Last year on April 12 my mom died of colon cancer. She LOVED lemons, so baking something with yellow lemons is a wonderful way to honor the anniversary of her death. But I am curious, is there a special significance to the color yellow for this LiveStrong Day?

[ranji]

I so very much want to participate for this event.Can i enter an old post for this event or should it be a fresh one?And do we need the wrist band for participating in this LiveSTRONG Day with our A Taste of Yellow event.Plz let me know.Thank u

[Harini]
