About Me

My photo
Cleveland, Ohio, United States
I am a retired teacher with time on my hands. I love to cook and bake. For the past eight years my hobby has been entering recipe contests. I have done very well and have been to several cook/bake offs although I have never won a grand prize. The ititials of my blog CCC are the same as the site where I get contest information, Cooking Contest Central (CCC). While there are 1000's of food blogs that post recipes this blog will review other cooking blogs.

I KNOW

I know Thanksgiving is over but I found this Picture at Pickey Palate and had to share it with you all.



HAPPY HOLIDAYS


Let me be the first to wish each of you a HAPPY AND SAFE HOLIDAY SEASON. May this special season bring each of you all of your fondest wishes and desires.


This month's sweep is for a $15.00 http://www.amazon.com/ gift certificate. Sorry it can't be more but it will buy a small gift.


From 12:01 AM (eastern) on Tuesday, December 1, 2009 until 11:59 PM on Sunday, December 13, 2009, leave a comment under this post to be eligible for the drawing.


On Monday, December 14, 2009, I select (with a random numbers generator) the winner. As soon as I have the necessary information from the winner I will submit the request to http://www.amazon.com/ It will be close but you should get your purchase in time for Christmas (It will be in the middle of Chanukah).


Once again, my best wishes for a joyous holiday season. And, thank you for visiting my blog.

This is more important than any sweep. While we eat a turkey dinner on Thanksgiving most of them will be eating dirt.

AND THE WINNER IS

This was my best giveaway, ever. I had 317 people enter. The winner is number 69, jacaclawless who entered at 6:36 AM on November 3, 2009. Unfortunately, jacaclawless did not leave an email so I have no way of notifying him/her. Please send me your full name, address, city and state so I can order your gc from amazon. If I do not hear from you by 12:01 AM on Wednesday, November 18, 2009 I will draw another name. Please send your information to cybercook@ameritech.net I will have a drawing next month but it will not be as large as this month's.

This flu really did me in. I have neglected my blog for almost two weeks. For a while it hurt my fingers to press the keys on the keyboard. Starting tomorrow I will begin posting again.

Thanks to all of you for making this giveaway so much fun.
