(almost) Wordless Wednesday: Win a Signed Copy of Pioneer Woman Cooks

Would you like to win a signed copy of Pioneer Woman's bestselling cookbook, The Pioneer Woman Cooks: Recipes from an Accidental Country Girl? I have one - well, actually two, but one for now - burning a metaphorical hole in my pocket. (My metaphorical pockets are very large.)

Just think, if you had a copy you could make those Mocha Brownies. Right now.

See? I knew you wanted one.

I know that it is all the rage to make people jump through hoops for these things with entries via tweets and spamming your followers retweets and the like...the Facebook Likes to be exact. I am so not into that.This is going to be simple.

If you'd like to win the signed copy of The Pioneer Woman Cooks just answer this question in comments: thick frosting or insanely thick frosting? That would be Me (left) or Ree (right). There's no right answer and your response will not impact your chances of winning. I'm just curious.

Details: Contest closes at noon next Monday August 30, 2010. A winner will be drawn at random from the comments. One entry per person please. Leave a real email address (it's not published if you put it in the email field) but otherwise I have no way to contact you if you win.

Comments are moderated and I am going to be at IFBC this weekend so please be patient, yours will be posted when I get a chance to deal with them.

Thanks and good luck!

Wordless Wednesday: Aprons That Make Me Smile

 

This apron remind me of my grandmother, Mimi, who favored aprons with a bit of panache, her own mix of cheek and frills. As a child, this meant fun dressup worthy aprons when I went to her house to cook, which I did quite often, She would also have loved this black hostess number. Because, seriously, black hostess aprons . How Mad Men is that?

Check out all of tarazara's Vintage Inspired Aprons on etsy.

Dear FTC: re: blogger disclosure  ~  Tara is a friend of mine, but nothing of value has changed hands in relationship to this post. She has, however, given me many things of value over the years: advice, well-placed humor, support, an occasional virtual smack upside the head, and mostly friendship...but since it has pretty much all taken place online, I assume the NSA already knows all about that.

Wordless Wednesday: New Furlings

We call this one Hissy-face because he does this totally adorable fierce hiss-in-your-face. We are only glad he does not know we are mocking him when we say he's terribly fewocious! There will be better photos as soon as they emerge from the roasting pan. Seriously, a roasting pan; Like they don't now we have to fatten them up first.
