Step Right Up and Win Great Prizes!

For those readers who live in the Northeast, I hope your power has been restored (or that you never lost it in the first place), and you’re enjoying this blog in the warm comfort of your well-lit home. Anyone who didn’t have to endure last Thursday’s storm, well, I hope you too are enjoying this blog in the warm comfort of your well-lit home. Personally, it was the first time I’ve encountered hurricane-force winds when there wasn’t technically a hurricane. I’m hoping it counts as “in like a lion,” and that March’s weather will be lamb-like in its intensity. Fingers crossed.

So, indeed, March has arrived. And with it, a new contest. We’re having so much fun giving away our products that we’re going to give away some more. In addition to our Jam Tour, where we’re traveling the U.S. to give away coupons and samples of Wild Maine Blueberry Jam, we now have a monthly contest going on in our Stonewall Kitchen Company Stores and online. This month’s giveaway is a beautiful collection from our Fine Home Keeping line – hand soap, hand lotion, dish soap, and a soy candle in our new Herbes de Provence scent. Limit one entry per person per month. Click here for full contest rules.

Back here on the Stonewall Kitchen blog, the winner of last week’s cookbook giveaway is Commenter #2, Amber.* Amber’s take on a picture’s ability to aid in food preparation is insightful and fun:

“Photos help me decide which recipe to make. And for complicated recipes, they
are an absolute must! Photos are a recipe's way of saying ‘Cook me!’”

Congratulations, Amber! We hope you’ll enjoy your new copy of “Stonewall Kitchen Appetizers.” The next time you’re having a party, maybe we'll drop in because we know you’ll be serving up some delicious snacks!
