Lovers of Rice Unite! (A Winner)

I can't even tell you how happy I was to host this giveaway! Your comments made it obvious that you all love rice just as much as I do. I sincerely wish I could send you all something, but I can only choose one winner. *insert sad face here*

I'm so happy to have partnered with IMUSA USA to bring you this wonderful giveaway. I've already used my IMUSA Rice Cooker a few times and I'm completely in love with it! The pan is non-stick and it's super easy to clean which is a total win-win when it comes to rice cookers. (Of course, I have teenagers who do the dishes, but that's not important right now.)

To choose a winner, I typed in the number of valid comment entries into the Random Number Generator in Random.org which gave me the following number.

The winner of the IMUSA Rice Cooker is:

Rice every meal? Does a bear poopee in the woods? Nochebuena y mala; doesn't matter the ocassion we served it with rice. Christmas dinner will consist of black beans, pork shoulder, tabouli (homage to our Moorish friends and yummy with the beans), roasted garlic and rosemary swt potatoes, salad ( one jello based, of course), and lots of other goodies. All capped off with pumpkin spice flan, coconut rum cake with Guayaba filling, turrones, dates and figs, un cafe Ito y crema de vie!

Congratulations, Bea! Send me an email with HEY, MARTA! I WON STUFF ON YOUR SITE! in the subject line (so that I won't accidentally delete it) along with your snail mail address.  (By the way, "snail mail" is just a techy term for your home address.)

Do it today so that I can forward to the folks at IMUSA USA so that they can send out your rice cooker ASAP.

Thanks again for playing with me. ;-)

Buen Provecho!

¡Sabor! Cookbook Winner

I am still laughing at some of the rice comments you all submitted for the giveaway. 

So, about half of you wash your rice. About a third of you used to wash, but have since given that up.

Some of you use rice cookers because you remember that mami or abuela had a Hitachi going all the time and I love that you have some great memories of rice and rice cookers and the happiness that rice brings to the Cuban table.

A lot of you are still stovetoppers. Impressive.

And, of course, all of you agree that my cousin Yllien is adorable. =D

A few of you have some bad memories of burning the rice. (Did I ever tell you about the time I cooked for 300 and screwed up the rice? No? Umm....never mind.)  ;-)

Thank you. I swear it makes me so happy to hear from you and I love that you keep the conversation here lively. 

Sadly, I could only choose one winner. (insert sad face here) As usual, I went to Random.org and put in the number of entries (subracting those who accidentally left multiple comments, and you know who you are, but that's not important right now).

Congratulations to the winner of the ¡Sabor! A Passion for Cuban Cuisine Cookbook, autographed by the author, my friend, Ana Quincoces.

Congratulations, Annie! Good job on getting your gringo husband to learn The Ways of The Rice Cooker. I'm so proud. *wipes away a tear*

Send me an email with HEY MARTA! I WON STUFF ON YOUR BLOG! in the subject line. Please include your snail mail address so I can get this beautiful cookbook out to you ASAP.

Thanks again to you all for playing. More fun giveways and stories coming up this week, so stay tuned!
