Cook the Cover- I'm a Finalist!!
Well, color me black and tan! I'm one of three finalists for this month's Cook the Cover competition at Gourmet Magazine! I know can you believe it? I can't, really I can't. It's brilliant.
Some of you will remember this as my entry into this year's IMBB/Cookie Swap. On a complete whim I decided to enter them into the publication's monthly reader event. I was certain that my entry would be one of hundreds if not thousands of possible entries.
So here's what I'd like to ask--because although right now as of 7amPST I am in first place with 40% of the voting. However we all know one should never rest until the work is done. After all the Linzers are right on my tail. I need your support through a daily vote! Simply vote by going to here and click on the text next to the big photo that reads--"We've chosen our December finalists." Click the the first entry to activate your vote for my recipe entitled "Black and Tan."
The winner's recipe will be published in a future issue. There's also an all expense paid trip to the Gourmet Institute in New York City. Do I get to meet Ruth? Do I?!
Ohmigawd. Ohmigawd. Breathe. Breathe. Please vote daily! THANKS! Winner is announced on January 18--my parent's 42nd wedding anniversary.
Fantastic news! Cesar and I voted for the wonderful Black and Tan! I hope you win. What a great start to the new year :)
