We're moving on up...

Hey all!  I was featured as a guest blogger on (a)musing foodie yesterday!  It's a super fancy-looking blog that touches on all things food with really gorgeous photos, to boot.  (And its approved by yours truly, as I've made it plain and clear that I hate most food blogs.)   I talk some more about eggs, the most commonly emailed topic I receive in my inbox.  Head on over and get your daily dose of irreverent cooking know-how! 
As always, thanks for supporting my blog, and don't forget to enter to win a gorgeous bottle of Syrah from Flat Creek Estate Winery and Vineyard.  Hurry up!  The giveaway ends Tuesday!

Flat Creek Estate Wine....giving away a bottle of heaven!

In partnership with Flat Creek Estate and our dedicated drones at RAW Marketing, we will be giving away a bottle of Flat Creek Estates Syrah to one lucky fan who we draw from the combined entries.  I tasted this bottle of heaven at the Buffalo Gap Food and Wine Summit back in April and, even in my vino-induced haze, knew that this was by far the best of all the wines there.  (And there were a lot.  I tasted ALL of them.  And then I went back for refills just to be sure.)  It turns out that that these Texans at Flat Creek know what the heck they're doing with grapes and a barrel. 

Just enter your name and email address below to enter! The contest will run from 8:00am Saturday, June 4th to midnight Tuesday, June 7th. One lucky winner will be drawn from the entries at random and will be declared   "THE WINNER!"  The winner will then be announced Thursday afternoon on our Facebook page and by email.

"This wine is 100% Syrah & 100% harvested from Flat Creek Estate vineyards that are a decade old this year. Syrah is one of the best reds for Texas and this Syrah just keeps getting better. Starting two years ago, the vineyard training method was changed to the Smart-Dyson method allowing greater fruit production while improving already excellent fruit quality. This training method is visually very attractive as it produces a "curtain" of vines extending to the vineyard floor & reaching toward the sun. The Syrah vineyard welcomes you when you enter the Estate."

Who Wants a Martini on Me?!

In celebration of our new website design and continued plans for world domination...I raise my glass to you all! Now you can join in indulging in one of my favorite cocktails...a dirty martini!

If you've read at least one of my blogs, you know I am a big fan of the cocktails and creating the perfect dirty martini is sometimes a "what the bleep" moment in itself- much like trying to perfect a recipe. When you use olive brine from the jar to make a dirty martini, there's a fine line between tasting like a glass of heaven and tasting like a glass of ocean water. That's why I love 1888 Dirtiest Martini Mix so much- its so simple: juice from pressed whole olives without the overly salty flavor, so your martini tastes perfect every single time. It takes all of the guess work out! It also adds that perfect little "oomph" to a Bloody Mary, or as a marinade for chicken. I use it for EVERYTHING!

Want to win a chance to have a bottle of your very own? GREAT!! Let's do it...

In partnership with 1888 Premium Olive Press and our dedicated drones at RAW Marketing, we will be giving away a bottle of 1888 Dirtiest Martini Mix to the fan who refers the most followers to our blog.

"1888 Dirtiest Martini mix is the only dirty martini mixer made from whole, premium Spanish olives. We use a two-ton press to extract true olive flavor, resulting in the perfect balance of olive, pimento and brine. So whether you like your martinis dusty, dirty or downright filthy, insist upon a recipe that uses only the finest ingredients. Don’t gamble with your drink—choose 1888 and get lucky every time with the perfect dirty martini."

You must make sure to fulfill ALL entry requirements, including the form below! The contest will run from 8:00am Thursday, April 7th to midnight Sunday, April 10th. The fan who refers the most followers to our Facebook page AND website will be declared "THE WINNER"! In case of a tie, the person who reached the most referrals first will be the decided winner. The winner will be announced Monday afternoon on our Facebook page and by personal email.
