And the WINNER is...
There was a recent Michael Pollan article in the NY Times where he likened food shows and our culture's obsession with food to pornography - the passive yet sensual enjoyment of something, without active participation. That article, for a day made me walk around saying, "Hey - I'm a food porn star." Well..not really. In actuality it saddened me to think of a whole population of people who were more interested in watching what went on in a kitchen instead of trying to get in there and make something.
What this blog giveaway did however, was make me question the validity of his comments, because based on the 37 entries that I had for this giveaway, people aren't watching and reading me cook, they are going out and DOING it. Reading the comments, hearing what people were making, what they were eating was enough to make me excited and wishing that I could afford to give every single entrant a beautiful microplane grater. Alas, my blog earnings don't allow me to do that...yet. I did receive lots of wonderful comments from unexpected places and I am really appreciative of the time that people took to give me a comment and some encouragement. Thank you for helping me celebrate a year!
After eliminating some one double entry, and one invalid entry, I was left with 37 valid entries. After getting a number from www.random.org - the winner is
SILLIE SMILE! Thank you all for participating!
Until 100,000 hits, or next year (whatever comes first)...
