And speaking of prizes, check them out–signed copies of Gina’s book, Mario Batali’s Molto Italiano, and Joseph Bastianich’s Vino Italiano.<br /><br />Molto cool, no?<br /><br />Speaking of the contest, just like last year, you can participate either by submitting a recipe or by simply posting the announcement below. Our goal is to spread information about ovarian cancer and its symptoms to as many people as possible, so feel free to tweet, post on Facebook, or whatever you have to do to help us make enough noise to stop this silent killer.<br /><br /> CONTEST RULES<br /><br /> O Foods Contest for Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month<br /><br /> September is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month, and for the second year in a row, Sara of Ms Adventures in Italy and Michelle of Bleeding Espresso are hosting the O Foods Contest to raise awareness of this important health issue.<br /><br /> There are TWO WAYS to take part in the O Foods Contest:<br /><br /> ONE: Post a recipe to your blog using a food that starts or ends with the letter O (e.g., oatmeal, orange, okra, octopus, olive, onion, potato, tomato); include this entire text box in the post; and send your post url along with a photo (100 x 100) to ofoods[at]gmail[dot]com by 11:59 pm (Italy time) on Monday, September 28, 2009.<br /><br /> PRIZES for recipe posts:<br /><br /> * 1st: Signed copy of Dolce Italiano: Desserts from the Babbo Kitchen by Gina DePalma, Executive Pastry Chef of Babbo Ristorante in NYC, who is currently battling ovarian cancer, inspired this event, and will be choosing her favorite recipe for this prize;<br /><br /> * 2nd: Signed copy of Molto Italiano: 327 Simple Italian Recipes to Cook at Home by Mario Batali (winner chosen by Sara);<br /><br /> * 3rd: Signed copy of Vino Italiano: The Regional Italian Wines of Italy by Joseph Bastianich (winner chosen by Michelle).<br /><br /> OR<br /><br /> TWO: If you’re not into the recipe thing, simply post this entire text box in a post on your blog to help spread the word and send your post url to ofoods[at]gmail[dot]com by 11:59 pm (Italy time) on Monday, September 28, 2009.<br /><br /> Awareness posts PRIZE:<br /><br /> * One winner chosen at random will receive a Teal Toes tote bag filled with ovarian cancer awareness goodies that you can spread around amongst your friends and family.<br /><br /> ———<br /><br /> From the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund:<br /><br /> * Ovarian cancer is the leading cause of death from gynecologic cancers in the United States and is the fifth leading cause of cancer death among U.S. women; a woman’s lifetime risk of ovarian cancer is 1 in 67.<br /> * The symptoms of ovarian cancer are often vague and subtle, making it difficult to diagnose, but include bloating, pelvic and/or abdominal pain, difficulty eating or feeling full quickly; and urinary symptoms (urgency or frequency).<br /> * There is no effective screening test for ovarian cancer but there are tests which can detect ovarian cancer when patients are at high risk or have early symptoms.<br /> * In spite of this, patients are usually diagnosed in advanced stages and only 45% survive longer than five years. Only 19% of cases are caught before the cancer has spread beyond the ovary to the pelvic region.<br /> * When ovarian cancer is detected and treated early on, the five-year survival rate is greater than 92%.<br /><br /> And remember, you can also always donate to the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund at our page through FirstGiving!<br /> Please help spread the word about ovarian cancer.<br /> Together we can make enough noise to kill this silent killer.Chrissyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17550318860425264478noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1852304294805543793.post-30744059276027602332009-08-31T00:05:00.001-04:002009-08-31T00:05:50.833-04:00<a href="http://www.madsencycles.com/?src=lcs09"><img src="http://www.madsencycles.com/images/banners/MADSEN-240x400-woman-flowers.gif" border="0" alt="Madsen Cycles Cargo Bikes" /></a>Chrissyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17550318860425264478noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1852304294805543793.post-29058334533626621262009-03-23T14:28:00.002-04:002009-03-23T14:30:17.988-04:00Long time...Hello out there in blogland!

If only I lived in Florida or California!<br /></p><p><br /></p><p style="text-align: center;">NEW YORK (Sept. 18, 2008) – Everyone who visits a Walt Disney World Resort or Disneyland Resort theme park on their birthday in 2009 can get in free, as Disney Parks embraces a newly identified family travel trend called “celebration vacations.”</p><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><p style="text-align: center;">In this new national trend, American families are hitting the road to mark life’s special occasions – birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, reunions and more – with a “celebration vacation.” In 2009, Walt Disney World and Disneyland Resorts will lead this growing trend with new entertainment and services that allow guests to turn their personal milestones into magical Disney experiences.</p><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><p style="text-align: center;">And to kick it all off – a first-ever opportunity for guests to receive a free ticket to one of the Walt Disney World or Disneyland theme parks on their birthday in 2009.</p><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><p style="text-align: center;">“Birthdays are the one occasion that we all share every year,” said Jay Rasulo, chairman of Walt Disney Parks and Resorts, at an announcement event today in New York. “We thought a free birthday ticket would be the icing on the cake as we extend this new ‘celebration vacation’ trend to Disney Parks.”</p><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><p style="text-align: center;">Disney parks provide the perfect setting for this new style of vacation that celebrates the special occasions in life, Rasulo added.</p><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><p style="text-align: center;">Whether a guest is celebrating a birthday, an anniversary, Quinceañera or any special occasion, Disney parks already are filled with favorite characters, world-class attractions and entertainment, and legendary guest service – exactly the “something for everyone” that trend-watchers say families look for in a “celebration vacation.”</p><div style="text-align: center;"> </div><p style="text-align: center;">“The special moments in your life become truly magical when you celebrate at a Disney park,” Rasulo said. “Sharing a milestone at Disney connects families, friends and generations.”</p></blockquote>Chrissyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17550318860425264478noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1852304294805543793.post-5985200746775781352008-10-11T10:14:00.003-04:002008-10-11T10:17:13.465-04:0030 is the new 20?!?!Yesterday was my 30th birthday...
