GIVEAWAY! ENTER HERE!

Did I tell y'all our "big" computer broke? I have had my "little" netbook all week... so I have had no access to tons of stuff. Wah. I also have had a stack of bananas from the yard and fed the kids, the turtles, the lizards and still have more to go. Which reminded me of when I worked in a raw bar-that was part of a restaurant built on the back porch of a house that was built in the 1800'some of my jobs was doing appetizers, salads and desserts. I used to have to shuck dozens of oysters, devein tons of shrimp, bake rolls and muffins..and. the leftovers at the end of the night went out feed the assorted fish in the intra coastal.Oh yes... the banana cake- aw that was so good. So I am trying to recreate the cake by memory today. We'll see how it goes. It wasn't overly banana-y not at all like a banana bread, and it was a nice caramel color and the frosting was a light cream cheese-fluffy though..not heavy. Hmmm, I hope I can do it! Ok! GIVEAWAY!

Hi Michelle

Firstly, welcome to the Foodie Blogroll - I love being part of it and discovering new blog every day. Answers to your giveaway questions:

1) If you are going to a blog about other things than just food, stick to the Domestic Mama. But I must admit I love the name "Village Cook" - it sounds enticing.

2) My favorite regional American cuisine is Southwestern - we don't get much of it here in Canada and when we do it's not done well. I have fond memories of a trip to Santa Fe years ago and LOVING the food.

1. I think that I like the name "Domestic Mama" better, it sound like something we can all relate to. Make's you recipes sound easy and home-y.

2. My favorite regional cuisine is Mexican (is that regional?). Well, anyhow it is wonderful, full of different flavors. Ceviche, Pozole, Menudo, Carne en su Jugo, Flan, Mole, Bionicos just to name a few of my favorite!

Hi Michelle.
1. I have to agree that the Domestic Mama can encompass more topics but the Village Cook is a great name also. I think you may be leaning toward the Village Cook and if so, go for it!
2. I love Mexican and Asian food! More importantly, as most of us these days, easy and quick are always the keywords!
Thanks and have a great day!

Hi!

1.) First of all I definitely agree with the first commenter Heather to keep your name Domestic Mama since you sometimes talk about un-food related things. I like it and it suits you!

2.) Thai and Mexican are my favorite food's to eat as well as cook!

Welcome to the foodie blog roll. Great site. Keep up the good work!

I agree. The Domestic Mama is what we know you by. And as others have said, it doesn't pigeonhole you into a one dimensional blog.

Regional food: I live in the South (originally from the midwest) and I just love "greens", Southern fried chicken and pulled pork barbecue. I would love to live in New England so I could eat some fresh Maine lobster or have a creamy clam chowder with a side of "fiddleheads". But then again, Midwestern beef is pretty darn tasty, too. That's what I love about being a foodie...you love it all! LOL! And as I mentioned before my favorite International cuisine is Greek and Middle Eastern (I am eating hummus as I type!)

Good luck with the contest, Michelle!
Hello :) So, first question: I like the name Domestic Mama, please keep it! And 2, I love southern food, even though I rarely get to eat it 'cause I'm a born and raised Californian. Of course, I also love California-cuisine (lots of fresh produce, a mix of Italian and Mexican styles).
Just found your blog on The Foodie Blogroll. Nice!

1. I like Domestic Mama

2. Hard question but I will say Italian if that is what I had to eat everyday.

Just found your blog and am really enjoying it!

1. What drew me to your blog was the name - domestic mama. I think because I could relate to it. My vote is to definately keep The Domestic Mama.

2. I live in New England and love NE cuisine, especially in the fall. Local apples, pumpkins, cheeses, are all wonderful to cook and bake with. And the seafood is fantastic. So my favorite regional cuisine is North East, specifically New England cuisine.

I think you should stick with Domestic Mama. It's unique and it makes you relatable to us moms out there who try to keep some of the old fashioned traditions alive by having family dinners and making meals from scratch rather than buying so much processed food.

I would really love to see some recipes for Indian cuisine! I love spicy food and I think that would be a neat segment for you to do!

1) I love The Domestic Mama, it helps to encompass the fact that some days you have more then just Foodie posts, it also ties into Mamakeith!

2) As for regional foods I am beginning to develop a passion for Greek food, although I could never pass up a Japanese steakhouse!
