See’s Candies Giveaway Winner

February 20, 2009

It’s time to announce the winner of See’s Candies Giveaway! Thank you to everyone who left such endearing comments.  You’re clever turns of phrase and witty humor made picking a winner incredible difficult for the kind folks at See’s Candies. At first the comments were all so wonderful, that the people at See’s were stammering at the task of choosing the “worthiest” comment for a winner.  But they tightened their belts, pulled out the hankies, buckled down and chose a winner for this giveaway.

In the torturous style of beauty pageants around the world, rather than just saying who won, »

Tamarind Crab and Secrets of the Red Lantern Cookbook giveaway!

January 23, 2009
Tamarind Crab

 

It’s not often that I can get excited about a cookbook enough to want to snuggle with it on the couch and to read it cover to cover.  Most of the time, I’ll scan through a cookbook and bookmark particular interesting recipes that jump off the page. But I found one book that not only had me hooked from the very first page, but had me laughing, crying and stomach growling at the same time. If anyone saw me, they’d think that I was an emotional, starving wreck who just got dumped by her boyfriend. Thank goodness I only »

So after much discussion and inventory count of our Vietnamese cinnamon stash, we’ve decided to give »

We’re that obsessively addicted and devoted to this amazing spice. So enamored with it that we brought back a whole suitcase full of it back from Vietnam. Luckily the US customs search dogs were on lunch break, or else we would have been sniffed out and questioned if we really cooked with the wood or smoked it!

Vietnamese cinnamon comes from the bark of the Cinnamomum loureirii cassia tree that is »
