Happy Mail!

Look what came in the mail for me today! Doesn't that look better than the usual bills and junk mail?



About a month ago I noticed a link on the ads in my sidebar that was asking for slow cooker recipes for beef. Well, you know I have those! I turned in one of my favorites, Slow Cooker Pepper Steak.
What a nice surprise when I got a postcard last week telling me that I was one of the winners in this contest and a slow cooker was coming my way. Since I didn't even know it was a contest, this was great news.
This slow cooker has a timer and a warmer, and I will be able to replace the one I got when we got married - almost 28 years ago. It wasn't working too well, so this was a good mail day!

  7. I remember the array of slow cookers that you have. I have thinking, now here is another to add to your collection but I guess they do wear out. Congratulations!

  24. Congratulations for winning something that you didn't expect, and something that you really needed. That makes the price really special!

    I love your slow cooker recipes. My slow cooker is over 20 years old, and has been sitting on the kitchen counter unused... all these years.

    It's probably not working anymore, so time to get a new one, thanks to the yummy recipes I've seen on your blog.

    Thanks too for leaving such a warm encouraging message for me the other day. I really appreciate it.
