Giveaways — Cuban-American Lifestyle & Food Blog — My Big Fat Cuban Family: A Cuban-American Blog

First of all, can I just say that you are quite an impressive group of bakers. I loved what each of you had to share in the comment section and I appreciate each of you taking the time to comment and give me some of that Nestle® love.

I'm so glad I don't have to choose a winner based on merit. *wipes forehead*

This was a completely random drawing. In fact, I use the True Random Number Generator from Random.org to pick a number from 1 to 23. (The total number of entries.)

And the winner of the Very Cool Nestlé® Gift Basket is......

drum roll, please......

Which means the winner is:

Yes, I love to bake. The best thing I make is a Lemon Ricotta Cheesecake, Nestle Toll House Cookies and Chocolate Sambuca Cookies. I love trying new things and just started teaching my son to bake and cook. We love it!

And doesn't that comment just make you wonder what the recipe is for CHOCOLATE SAMBUCA COOKIES?? (But that's not important right now.)

Congratulations, Carmela! Please send me an email with HEY, MARTA! I WON STUFF ON YOUR BLOG IN THE SUBJECT LINE, so I don't accidentally delete it and I'll forward it to the generous folks at Nestlé®.

By the way, aren't you impressed with the way I've learned to add the registered trademark sign to just about Everything I Blog About®? ;-)

(On the Mac, it's OPTION R. You're welcome.)

A few months back, Amy and I got the chance to preview the film, Gnomeo and Juliet from Disney Pictures. It's about Garden Gnomes in an ill-fated romance. Yes. Garden Gnomes. In love. I just love the wonderful absurdity of the entire premise.

Amy Kikita and I actually got to see it in theaters a few months back and while we were a bit tense about the clay figures bouncing around everywhere (Be careful you might break! *wince*) we thoroughly enjoyed the FABULOUS Elton John soundtrack and Jim Cummings was genius as the Pink Flamingo, Featherstone, but that's not important right now.

Here we are rocking those RED 3-D glasses. (I know. Shut up.)

I have a copy of the aforementioned Gnomeo & Juliet and a copy of the film, I Am Number Four, which my 15 year old, Jonathan, says is, "Phenomenal. I wish I could glow." ;-)

The generous folks at Disney Pictures have offered to sponsor a DVD giveaway (and I graciously accepted their generous offer, thankyouverymuch). =D
