There was some disagreement in the last post as to whether or not Fall has officially begun. I think we can all agree that since today marks the beginning of
CROCKTOBER
we're definitely in the clear.
whew!
psst, steph: did you put a plaster skull inside of a Little Dipper?
why yes, yes I did. I take my job very seriously...
In honor of this special occasion, I have some announcements.
1) I will resume posting daily for the entire month, and maybe even longer. (don't tell Adam).
2) My friend Ruth is hosting a virtual silent auction on her Lemonade & Kidneys blog. Ruth became active in the PKD Foundation three years ago, after her oldest son became the third generation of her family to be diagnosed with polycystic kidney disease.
The hand-picked items are fantastic (I'm bidding on a super-cute necklace), and she will be auctioning off a signed unreleased advanced review copy (complete with typos!) of my More Make it Fast, Cook it Slow cookbook along with the first Make it Fast, Cook it Slow cookbook today and tomorrow (Oct 1 & 2). Please help Ruth meet her goal of raising research money for the Polycystic Kidney Disease Foundation.
3) If you're coming to San Francisco for the BlogHer Food conference, look for me, and let me know so then I can look for you! Diane has done a fantastic job of putting together a Gluten Free dining guide to SF--great to bookmark for future visits.
4) I have launched a message board, and I'd love for you to join me. I did this for a few reasons. Mainly, I would like there to be a place where you can help each other with some of the most common slow cooker and recipe questions. I feel like SUCH A HORRIBLE PERSON when I can't get to all of the mail in my inbox, and thought throwing questions out onto a group forum would be helpful instead of allowing them to become buried in the comment sections.
The message board also provides a place to chat about things that aren't really on topic. Like the DC Housewives. Seriously, what is up with the Sahalis? Tareq truly thinks an invitation to the White House is only "something to be framed?"
My hope is that this community becomes a meeting place for you to socialize and have fun. I love corresponding with you all through email and the comments, and while I don't plan on stopping, I think you'd all really like each other. You've got a lot in common!
5) It's date night tonight, and we're going to see The Social Network. I think the last time Adam and I saw a movie on the day it was released was when we saw The Firm.
a hundred million years ago.
I'm excited!
6) We haven't had a giveaway forever, so we should have one! Click on over to Totally Together Reviews for an opportunity to win one of five brand new PROGRAMMABLE 4-QUART slow cookers from Cuisinart.
this contest will run until Sunday, October 10 at 9pm pacific.
woooo hooooo!!!
HAPPY CROCKTOBER!
now go make a pumpkin spice latte.
or witch's brew.
