On March 28th I announced the Cook for me! contest, and right now is the deadline. Well, I got 1 entry, so far. Am thinking to myself, "Do they not love me?" Well, that's not possible. I'm the most loved of all! Then I thought, "Maybe they don't care." I'm not buying that either, you care. What else in your life could possibly be more important that me?

Taxes !!!

So, let's reset and take this contest to April 25th, a Friday. OR, if anyone has a better idea for a contest giveaway, I'm all ears. Oh dear, a cross between Hee Haw and something else just popped in to my mind. Eeek!

We'll let the dust settle and regroup, what you gots?

Biggles

A hearty Thank You! to Ten Speed Press for sending this book our way.

Note 4/15/2008: Here are the entries!

Jennifer Jeffrey, whom I know very well, recently wrote an article about her love for cooking for others. And, not so whiz-bang excited to do the same for herself. And that's, okay.

The way I see it, I'm going to give you the supreme pleasure of cooking for me! If you're interested, come along and show me your best.

Oh man, it's finally here. Over the months a handful of food bloggers from around the world have been working with Owen and his new publishing company, A Press for Change. Owen asked us to join in his first book and submit a handful of our best posts. We did and the book has finally arrived from the printer!
Over the past few years you've seen food blogging absolutely explode. I went from a handful of places to visit, to a list so long it takes me several days just to see what's going on, if not longer. Slowly but surely, over time we got in to magazines, newspapers, online 'zines and now a real book. That was the easy part (sorry Owen), now we have to all pitch in and make it a success. This means each and everyone one of you needs to buy a copy, at least one. If this first issue can make a go of it, more are sure to follow. It will validate each and everyone of us who've worked so hard over the months and years. What do you get for your money? Check out the Intro to the book here.

You go, make Biggles proud.
