Life's Best Recipes Teaspoons Giveaway

A while back I showed you a little something I picked up in Plymouth, Massachusetts specifically to give away. I found these "Life's Best Recipes" teaspoons at the Richard Sparrow House, Plymouth's oldest house, which now houses a great shop filled with pottery, jewelry, knick-knacks & other fancies.

When I saw these pewter teaspoons created by Metal Morphosis, well, I knew I had to get them.

These will look great in any kitchen. They come with the hook which says: Life's best recipes are measured with... And the teaspoons say: 1 tbls. of love, 1 teas. of friends, 1/2 teas. of know-how and 1/4 teas. of luck. Super cute, yes?

There are different measuring spoon designs at Metal Morphosis as well as other great kitchen items and gifts. You should really check out the site.

To enter just leave me a comment. During family gatherings does your family congregate in the kitchen or do they leave you alone? (My kitchen is always full of women; the men are usually on kid duty!)

Good Home Cookbook Winner!

Wow! What great stories everyone shared of their worst meals! I've had too many to count, but the one that really sticks in my head happened about 6 years ago. I had just moved back to Iowa and had moved in with Doug. Because my family was all in the (very near) vicinity I decided to have everyone over for dinner (mostly to show them that I could be domestic).

I decided to make lasagna. And not the easy way, but the way that takes half the day. Cooking noodles, sauce from scratch, baking for an hour...

All was going well... I didn't over-boil the noodles, the sauce tasted great... Until it was time to put it in the pan. Somehow I forgot to layer the noodles in with everything else. So we had baked sauce and cheese with a lump of lasagna noodles on the top.

Definitely not my proudest kitchen moment...

But, on to the winner...

Win The Good Home Cookbook

My apologies: there will be no recipe this week. We spent last weekend driving half way across the country and I am still recovering (not to mention doing laundry, unpacking and re-adjusting to life back at home).

What I have for you instead is a cookbook full of recipes. It is, in fact, the only cookbook entirely tested in home kitchens across America. So while the recipes may not have been tested by me they have been tested (and the testers are listed in the back of the cookbook).

This cookbook has more than 1000 recipes in it- everything from the simple (scrambled eggs and grilled hot dogs) to the gourmet (Roasted Rack of Lamb with Garlic-Rosemary Sauce).

The Good Home Cookbook is over 450 pages of recipes, short anecdotes, cooking terms & tips. It's a great cookbook for the new cook (or new graduate) and the more experienced cook.

Want to win one? Just leave a comment telling me about the worst meal you ever made.

For an extra entry subscribe to Fab Food Friday (you can do this near the top of the page in the right column) or add my button to your blog. Leave another comment telling me you did so.

For another entry either blog or twitter this contest. Leave another comment with the blog link or your twitter id so I can confirm this entry. Tweet as often as you like, just remember to leave a comment for me each time. (Twitter copy & paste: RT @iatraveler: Win the Good Home Cookbook at Fab Food Friday: http://bit.ly/pRxqD)
