Week 1- TAG or REPORT -RZ Summer Vacation (archived)

[LindasBusyKitchen]

Bear with me in completing the rest of my tour recipes, as my dad was rushed to the hospital with pneumonia and a broken hip recently, and we are with him around the clock in ICU, so I may be a little delayed in finishing these, but rest assured they will be made as soon as I can find the energy and time. Right now I am pretty exhausted.

I hope he gets on the mend soon!
There is still a lot of time before any tags are even due, and if you need an extension, that's not a problem.

The Magic Bus has just departed for MANILA, Phillipines for the World Cuisine Tour.

We've rolled the bus onto a freighter.
Hope you didn't miss the boat! ;)
If you did, try swimming real fast and jump on board the boat, but when you do, please don't rock it...

Poor Sue...she was trying to create some atmosphere with the cuisine tours, but it seems like some of you are put off by too many words.

Let me see if I can break it down into simple terms:

There are daily cuisine tours from different parts of the world, or food festivals in the U.S.A. & Canada. Join in on as many or few as you like. You just need to sign-up for a bus tour before it leaves.

You can sign-up for a bus tour by either:

1) Tagging a recipe posted on recipezazz that fits into the daily cuisine and cooking and reviewing it.
2) Posting a new recipe to recipezazz that you want to make and mark "tried and true" which will complete the tag. To use this option you just have to provide a title of the recipe you will be posting to join the tour.

Sue has also added threads that you can advertise your recipes or recipebooks on to make it easier for us to browse recipes to tag, but you can pick any from the site, or from recipes you've been wanting to make and post.

Thanks Engrossed!

The Vacation threads are divided by type

1. The Main Vacation thread. Here you will find all the rules and links to other relevant threads, nd a place to offer suggestions for the game.

2. The Weekly Destination and Sign up thread: One for each week. This is where you put down the tags you want to make.

3. The weekly recipe drive: One for each week. This is where you advertise your recipes as well as can easily find recipes to tag, although you can tag any appropriate recipe on Zazz, and if it is not on Zazz, you can tag it yourself, as long as you post the recipe and mark it tried and true (the same effect as having reviewed it).

4. The Destination thread is not related to the tagging but is for entertaining you and showing you the places you are visiting through pictures and images. It is your "virtual tour/vacation" because you might like to imagine yourself there.

When the week closes for tagging recipes, the Recipe Drive threads will be moved to archives. In other words, week one tagging officially ends Friday. Saturday, the "Week 1 Recipe Drive" will be locked and moved to archive.

When tags are completed in each weekly Destinations, that thread will be archived, but not before then. In other words, the Week 1 Destinations will be archived when everyone finishes their tags and so forth.

IF----at any time you cannot find where to post something or find something, please please please message me personally or post it in the MAIN VACATION thread. Someone will be along to help you and you will not miss a deadline---you may find I am flexible on that subject. Just no popping up a month from now and saying you need to do the LONDON tour. But you know what I mean.

I moved your post here for you, Bergy.

Couldn't find a link to report completion of two recipes but the Magic bus driver said that ir would be okay to get off here and post them

My morocco stop had me complete
Derf's http://www.recipezazz.com/recipe/morocc ... illet-5903 Moroccan Chicken and Veggie Skillet - very worthwhile stop -

Then on to Stockholm for this Asparagus feast Mmm
Dreamer_in_Ontario's http://www.recipezazz.com/recipe/barbeq ... ragus-7392 Barbequed Asparagus.
It was fun watching them harvest the asparagus!









Lets see where the magic bus will take me next!
