Cookbook Giveaway!

Hello fellow dessert lovers! This Saturday, January 22, is a momentous day. An important occasion. A day that will go down in history. 

That's right, this weekend marks the SECOND anniversary (bloggiversary) of Baking and Mistaking. I survived two years, 223 posts, over 60,000 visits and more baking flops than I care to remember. 
The celebration will continue later this week with a roundup of my recipes past that you must. make. now.  - but right now I'm offering you a chance to win a copy of my absolute FAVORITE cookbook in honor of the occasion. 

The America's Test Kitchen Family Baking Book is great for so many reasons - not the least of which is its being chock-full of recipes for complete amateurs as well as more experienced bakers. I've already whipped up Nectarine Raspberry Pie, Lemon Squares and Oatmeal Fudge Sandwich Cookies, and a whole bunch of others - and I'm just getting started. Plus I love how the 3-ring binder design allows it to sit flat on the counter while I run around the kitchen looking for ingredients. Genius!


This contest is only open to residents of the United States.

Here's how to enter: (You can do one of these, two, or all three.)

1. Leave a comment on this post telling me what city/town/village/hamlet you're visiting from. 
2. Follow me on Twitter, then come back and leave a separate comment with your username. If you already follow me, just let me know that. 
3. "Like" me on Facebook, then come back and leave a separate comment telling me that. 


You can do one of these, or all three - but leave a separate comment for each. Please do not comment under "Anonymous"! I can't send a book to somebody I can't identify. 


The contest is open until 11:59 p.m. on Sunday, Jan. 23. The winner will be announced on Monday. Tell your friends to enter! Or don't, because then they might win and you'll be mad.



Disclosure: This giveaway is sponsored by me. America's Test Kitchen does not know who I am. I wish.

Giveaway!

Ok I lied. I told you that the giveaway would be on Thursday, and, it's Friday. Oops. Things happen. Like me being lazy and tired from walking around in 95 degree New York. But here we go!
The wait was worth it because you could win a $40 gift certificate to CSN stores. Now, if you're like me, you're thinking what is that? Well CSN has over 200 online stores and great prices on everything from Le Creuset to Nordicware and so much more.
I have my eye on a few things, like this...Or this...
...but you could get whatever you wanted from CSNstores.com - shoes, luggage, furniture, toys and more.

Note: CSN Stores only ships to the US and Canada. Sorry international readers!

Here's how to enter:
1 - Leave a comment on this post telling me your favorite dessert.
2 - No entries accepted after midnight on Tuesday, August 3.
3 - The winner will be randomly selected and announced here on Wednesday, August 4.
4 - Only one entry per person, please.

Good luck!
