ITB: Christmas 09 Roundup (and being under ice)

What a strange winter.  Last thing I remember, there was a summit about global warming, then I opened my presents, and next thing *BAM* – Britain is covered under a sheet of snow and ice.  I can barely get my car out of the street, let alone think about what to cook next. What happened there, then?

Britain Under Ice

In amongst all of the snow slush, I’ve somehow managed to salvage the entries for Christmas 2009′s Seasonal Food Blogging Event “In The Bag“.  For this even I challenged food bloggers to come up with a dish using the ingredients of cranberries, clementines or mandarines, and nuts.  We’re not exactly bursting at the seams with entries, but what we have are corkers; check them out below.

This month (January) sees In The Bag return to Julia at A Slice of Cherry Pie. What will she have in store? Only one way to find out, details soon…

    Thank you for the Round up Scott. Even after a toddler you are finding time to blog and cook! That itself is amazing. Hugs to baby Mia.

    Hi Scott. Sorry I did not enter – I find mandarins and cranberries too acidic so I give them a miss.

    But the pictures from your entrants look stunning.

    Liked your intro: One moment, Copenhagen and the next, Britain under ice.

    I heard a Radio 2 DJ say: “Bring back global warming.”

    Climate change is not about Britain becoming a pleasantly warm country! It is about unusual weather patterns and extreme weather….

    Ah no worries. with a toddler and the lingering snowy weather I understand.

    That Frozen Britain image is going to be a memorable one. I too used it on my blog.

    Thank you so much for hosting, and a Happy New Year to you and your readers.

  4. Life has a way of slipping by, beofre you know it we will be in the heat of the summer and then it will be Christmas again. Excellent job with the round-up!!!
