You are cordially invited to participate in a weekly potluck party, "Foodie Friday," every Friday at Designs by Gollum.
A few guidelines:
Q: What IS "Foodie Friday," exactly?
A: Think "Pink Saturday," "Outdoor Wednesday," or "Tablescape Thursday"...but with food. It is a virtual "cookbook," filled with some of the best food around blogland.
Q: What type of food should I bring to our potluck?
A: Anything you want! From appetizers to desserts, and everything in between. You can blog about a single cupcake, a cup of tea ... or a whole meal. It's not about quantity..it's about having fun in the kitchen.
Sometimes, though, we will be doing "themes," and I will announce them in plenty of time. Themes will be optional. If you'd rather not participate in a themed potluck, no problem--post whatever tickles your food fancy.
Q: Should I include the recipe?
A: That's optional (see next Q&A).
Q: Must my food be homemade?
A: No!!!!
Q: Can I use pictures of food that I've posted previously on my blog or that I've linked to other food blogs?
A: Absolutely.(I hope you do-I've seen foodie awesomeness & more on your blogs.)
Q: How do I participate?
A: 1. Create your post, adding the "Foodie Friday" logo, and a link to the host blog, http://www.designsbygollum.blogspot.com, so your Readers can find other Potluck Parties.
2. Cut-and-paste your blog entry (the permalink) to Mr. Linky.
3. Have fun at the Potluck Party!
Fun is when you start out making ladybug bread, and it turns into
Dogpigs...
Fun is when your mama says your soup is ewwwwwy, but eats it anyway.
Somehow (more than decorating), memories, and friendships, are made in the kitchen...maybe because it is one of Man's Basic needs? Here lately, it sure is one of mine. :-)
See you this Friday at the Potluck!

Count me in Gollum, I will display your Foodie Friday logo on my blog :-) Happy Sunday, Kathy.
girl you know i am already there~
I would love to be a part of your Foodie Friday! :-D
I'll be there - count me in! Don't forget to stop by and sign up for my 100th post give-a-way! ~ Robyn
I'm gonna try...not sure on photos of food....yikes!
Gollum, I saw this link on Diane's blog, and as long as I can continue in my mode of being the auto-chef, I'm good to go! I will post your link on my sidebar. I admit to being kinda intimidated, though. My photos of food can at times be a bit, well... scary. ;-)
XO,
Sheila :-)
Wow...After being away awhile I was just about to post something about our 'foodie' Valentine's Day! Will wait until Friday and hope that I can figure out Mr. Linkey! Nancy
I'm so glad you all will be cooking with me this Friday.
I'll serve virtual margaritas, or something wicked, and we'll have a food-fest blast. :-)
If I only had time to blog!!!!! This sounds wonderful and I can't wait to find new recipes and ideas for cooking! Once that youngest one of mine goes off to college I might actually do a blog. In the meantime, I sure do enjoy blogland as an observer!

Oh the pressure! Tablescaping I can handle...now I actually have to put food on the plates?!? Can it be faux food?!? LOL...
Seriously, it sounds like fun and I'm game (how much did my hubby pay you to organize this?)! Decorating and doll making are my passions, cooking ,not so much... A funny story about that, my poor husband came home one night, walked in the kitchen and noticed that the oven was on and he could see that there was a cookie sheet in there. He rubbed his hands together with excitement (because I never bake)and said, "Oh good, you're making cookies!". I said,"nope, I'm just cooking heads!" ( my father christmas's). So, needless to say, he will be very excited to hear that I might be motivated to use that big square thing in the kitchen with the circles on top that get hot!
Sounds like fun! I'll give it a go.
We're at the lake, as of about an hour ago. Believe it or not, I do more cooking here in this tiny kitchen, than I do at home.
Okay Michael, for somebody who was going to diet, you've sure had food on your mind a lot lately! That's all I can think about when I'm on a diet! My food is not usually as pretty as yours, but I do want to try to participate! I'm sure going to live vicariously through everybody else's food photos though. Great idea! laurie
Hi Gollum! So if I find a really amazing little restaurant with fabulous food, it's OK to use it?? Because the chances of seeing my cooking on a post are slim to none!! lol Have a good week!!...Debbie
Debbie,
You bring Kroger cookies, and I'll supply the martinis.
:-)
Gollum this sounds like fun. I'll try to join in when I can. Have to admit we don't cook alot around here. Hubby just doesn't eat a whole lot.. I'm wondering. Does popcorn count? I eat alot of popcorn..lol. I'll certainly enjoy seeing others posts.. hugs ~lynne~
I have sort of put myself in a box with my blog...all my post are about decorating. But I will so enjoy reading these, great ideal. thanks
Sounds like:
Foodie
Friday
Fun
Though not a blogger myself, this is a great idea Michael. Bon Appetite ladies!!!!
Oh my dear Gollum... Finally something I can participate in... Even if my kitchen is tiny in the motorhome I do make some killer meals... I love cooking & baking so count me in... I can't wait. I will be adding the button to my post...
HUGS,
Donna
Sounds like fun :-) I usually eat pizza on Fridays, but have been doing "Flashback Friday" and digging up food and flowers from my past for that day's post. So I think I can pull this off without too much extra effort. Thanks for the open invite! It's much appreciated and very hospitable.
Oooh~You bet, count me in!
What a great idea. :)
xo~m.
Just coming by to let you know I've dedicated today's post to you! :O)
I can't participate since I don't have a blog....BUT, will certainly enjoy seeing what everyone contributes and will be drooling all over my computer, no doubt:):) Hugs, Pinky
What a wonderful idea! You are such a busy lady! Now to take on this too! I do admire all the work you put into your home, tablescapes, and cooking! Oh and the farm too! I had a baby goat, and have two baby chicks hatched out so far, it Mama Hen,(Diamond) stays sitting on the other eggs! New chicks are just so sweet.
Oh, boy, Gollum...this is right up my alley. I can't decorate and i sure as heck am not crafty but I can hold my own with cooking, especially baking. I can't wait for this on Friday.
I will add your button to my sidebar so others around the world can get into this....how fun!
Excuse me now...I have to ponder what to post on Friday.

I am looking forward to participating and getting lots of new recipes and ideas. This is going to be fun! Mary
I'm just a plain old cook, but I'm going to jump right in here. Thank you so much for doing this.I'm also going to add you to my blog list, I hear so much about you and I think I'm missing out on something. :)
Hugs,
Chris
Sounds great! Let's see what I have!
Super new here... Where's Mister Linky for Foodie Friday? Can someone help?
Carolyn
Just found this, so I missed the first one. Does there have to be a picture to go along with it, or can it be a memory or recipe or something else written?
PDX, no rules for FF. A food memory would be GREAT.
