Participate in Features of Fae’s Twist & Tango
♥
♦ Revisions to ’Look, I made it!‘ Feature
May 15, 2013
When I read about ‘Look, I made it!’ in the morning, I thought ‘I want to be the first one’… So, after going through Fae’s recipes again, I decided to make the ‘Baklava Cake’ but with a ‘twist & tango’, I baked it as Baklava Cupcakes. ~~ Tea With Erika
December 12, 2013 - Background: ‘Look, I made it!’ is a feature in which you would make one of Fae’s recipes and have it featured on Fae’s Twist & Tango’s Blog and Facebook.
Since starting the feature on May 15, 2013, with pleasure, I’ve had 11 participants. Also, I made three of your recipes. Beginning in 2014, I’d like to make the following new revisions to the feature:
♪ There will no longer be a ‘Look, I made it!’ post generated on Fae’s Twist & Tango.
♪ However, adding a thumbnail photo of your creation↗ (with links to your blog, if any) on the related Fae’s post will continue!
♪ A photo of your Fae’s recipe creation will be posted on photo-album on Fae’s Twist & Tango Facebook named ‘Look, I made it!- Fans’ Photos’ (with links to your blog, if any), which will also show-up on FB ’Timeline’ when added.
♪ You do not need to generate a post to participate. All I need is one photo e-mailed to me (or if you have generated a post, I’ll take it from there, with your permission).
♪ You do not need to be a blogger to participate! Just e-mail your photo to my Facebook ’Message’ with your name and a very brief one-liner about it.
♪
♦ Are you interested in doing a Guest Post?
An entire post which features you and ‘your’ recipe, photographs, travels or areas of interest, as a Guest Post. A link back to your Blog (if not a Blogger, you have something to brag to your friends about!) and being featured on Fae’s Twist & Tango Facebook (also with links)!
♪
‘Look, I made it!’ & ’Guest Post’ features are not competitions and there is no expiration date at this time. Every request is appreciated, respected and posted (within reason). This is my way of creating a venue for Non-Bloggers and simultaneously generating traffic for my Fellow Bloggers, while we are all having fun. It is my pleasure to provide this service.
You may participate in both categories multiple times!
Please reach me through → CONTACT.
Looking forward to your exciting responses.

Welcome, and please explore the magazine!

Fae, I just noticed how many comments you have on this post!!! this is out of control
so happy for you!!! oh my god hahahah
Fae – Site looks great. The festive picture of Girl’s Day makes me long for Japan (although, I’ve only been there at the airport, passing through a couple of times). I love the tradition there. Japan has been on my list of places to go, and now that we have non-stop flights from BOS to NRT on the Dreamliner, I’m saving my air miles like crazy!
What a wonderful tradition! We need one too!
Yes we do! I’m in Arizona visiting my son…
we’ll return tomorrow 
I REALLY LOVE YOUR BLOG! CONGRATS!!
Thank you!
This is such a great idea. I really admire your generosity!
Thank you!

明けましておめでとぅ💐
ママミユキ, 明けましておめでとうございます, 今年もよろしくお願いします (ことしもよろしくおねがいします)!
Fae your website has grown and grown and your hard work shines through. I am not surprised you have been awarded so many awards they are all truly justified. I thank you for your comments and look forward to your new posts in 2014.
Maria, You are a Darling Lady, I am proud to have met. You have always visited me with your kind words and wisdom. I too, am looking forward to your new posts in 2014. It is almost the New Year where you are. wish you a New Year with health, happiness, joy and love!
Fae.
I definitely understand the changes you’re making Fae. You’ve been a hero in terms of accepting and passing on awards, I found the process unmanageable within the first year of food blogging… you’ve pretty much doubled that
Hm, guest posts? I might consider that! It’s always been a pleasure sharing the blogging journey with you Fae, love everything that you do. Here’s to another wonderful year of blogging friendship! Hugs xx
Thank you so much Laura! Wow, it would be an honor for you to Guest Post on my blog. Looking forward to the day that you are ready to contact me. Yeah!!!
Love the new look and layout, Fae! Very clean, sophisticated, and pleasingly-modern looking. I’m getting to feel antsy myself about the look of my blog. I want change! I’m forever fickle!
XOXO, Angie.
Oh I was just scrolling through your homepage, and everything looks so wonderful and delicious!! I will definitely be coming back soon to check out some of those recipes!
I love the new look of your blog!
Hi, I nominated you for the Versatile Bloggers Award. http://kouzounaskitchen.com/2013/11/10/kouzounas-kitchen-awards/
Hello and Welcome Krystina! We just met and you have bestowed me with an award! Thank you very much, and congratulations for yours!
Your recipes all look delicious. I can’t wait to try them
Thanks for liking my BuildingMyBento posts about airline meals and history, Fae! What have been some of your memorable (in a good/bad way) airline meals?
I like how you have food and recipes from all over the world. Also, I noticed that you have Iranian polo too (http://collaterallettuce.com/2013/11/04/mutton-pilaf/);)
Hello and Welcome Jonathan!
JAL served the best airline meals I had. I mentioned one of my experiences in my post, >> Student of Japanese Rice.
))) I visited your polo post. I found it fascinating that they call it polo too. Do you know why?
- Bad airline meals… many.
- Yes, we Iranians love our ‘polos’!
- We visited China in April 2010. We only saw Beijing (and vicinity) Shanghai, Xian and Hong Kong. It was one of most educational destination of out travel. Definitely, we will go back again. So much to see. Wow!
Thanks for stopping by. I am starting up a holiday blog Northern Lights. and wondering if you have any ideas on allowing guest posts ?? http://northpoledesign.wordpress.com/
Hi Jeanin, Thank you for your interest. I just sent you an e-mail, please look for it.
Fae.

Hi Fae,
Congratulations! I just nominated you for the Versatile Blogger Award. Follow http://lindalitebeing.wordpress.com/2013/05/06/versatile-blogger-award/ for the details.
enjoy dear!
peace, linda
Dear Linda, Thank you very much for thinking of me. I appreciate for the nomination for the Versatile Blogger Award.
Hey Fae, you changed the look of your blog. It is very nice. Also your May 1st post is great. I have a pond with Koi in it. Thanks for sharing!! Randall
Hi Fae, what you say is so true and sad, the U.S. does not celebrate Children the way other countries do. I visit family in Italy often and it always amazes me how the whole family embraces the children, they are their treasures. Thank you for the history about Japan. Have a wonderful evening.
what a great idea, children’s day!
Japanese children should have been very happy to have gift twice a year
BTW, in my country, 1-June is International Children’s Day.
I am going to show this to my girls this morning because my oldest daughter is learning about Japan and the importance of koi fish there. I helped the class make koi fish as a volunteer. What a great idea to celebrate kids — they are the future!
Ahhh I miss kodomo no hi
Ever since I’ve been in NYU I’ve always missed the festivities and seeing the koi flying gaily in the sky
Arigatou for this Fae!
I’m loving your new look Fae!! My favourite colours are green and purple! Just my thought exactly for the New Year! Yes, freshness is on our minds! Looking forward to all the beautiful goodness you have in store for us. With much love always, Sharon
[...] lovely Fae’s gorgeous Iranian style baklava and baklava cake. Why must you torture us so, Fae? [...]
Happy New Year!
Happy Naw-Rúz Fae! (Can I say it that way?) Just in case, Happy New Year!
Hi Fae! I love the new look of your site. So bright and fun and easy to navigate. Looking forward to keeping in touch. Take care, BAM
Hi Fae, love the heart on your front page!!
Fruit tarts – my favourite!
I love the way you leave your footprint (stars) when you are reading my blog. Charming. I’ll have to remember to do that when I am visiting other sites. Usually I just leave one comment. Thanks for your interest…
Thank you for taking time to visit my blog, I look forward to reading your posts and delicious recipes, Tracey
Happy New Year Fae! We look forward to following your blog in 2013. Wishing you and Michael many adventures and much happiness. Sincerely, Maureen & Eric

Happy new year!
Thank you very much, Tuttacronaca! I appreciate your kindness.
Fae.
Vinny’s a bit of a storyteller, too! He also considers himself a world citizen as there are 9 nationalities in his background, including native american. His recipes reflect a little of everything, as yours do. Life’s good!
Happy holidays to you and your family too!
Seasons greetings to you as well! Always love your blog!!

Darling Veena,
- Congratulations on your ‘Blog of the Year 2012′.
