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.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

My November giveaway is my Holiday gift to everyone. I am doing it in November so you will have time to shop. From 12:01 AM (eastern) on Monday, November 1, 2009 until 11:59 PM (eastern) on Sunday November 15, 2009 if you leave a comment (with email) under the HAPPY THANKSGIVING post you will be entered into a drawing for a $50.00 gift certificate to http://www.amazon.com/ On Monday, November 16, 2009 I will select a random comment to win the certificate. Just my little way of saying Happy Thanksgiving and Merry Christmas.

OUT OF THE LOOP

I have been sidelined with the flu. Not H1N1 but the regular seasonal flu. I could hardly get out of bed much less post to the blog.

In the next day or two I will post the details of my November giveaway. So come back and enter.

AND THE WINNER IS

Using Random.org the magic number is 9. The name associated with number 9 is mverno. I have emailed mverno and as soon as I hear back I will mail the book.

I only had 57 enter this month's contest. Last month when I gave away the gift certificate I had 264 enter. So its clear that you, my readers, prefer gift certificates. In the future I will try to always give gift certificates.
