Calling all Alton Brown fans – a Giveaway
As I said yesterday, I got to meet Alton Brown this week. It was one of the best days in recent memory. I was literally giddy.
Have you seen his new book? It weighs about 4 pounds and contains about 400 pages about the first SIX seasons of Good Eats. He’s got recipes and drawings and tips and random facts about the show.
I’m offering an autographed copy of Alton Brown’s Good Eats The Early Years to one lucky reader!
Some rules:
– The prize will only be shipped to US mailing addresses.
– Enter by midnight (EST) next Thursday, October 22.
– One lucky winner will be chosen at random on Friday, October 23.
To enter, leave a comment answering:
– What is your favorite Alton Brown recipe/episode/tip/memory?
– If you aren’t as big of an AB fan as I am, that’s fine, you can still enter. Just comment with something you hope to learn from reading this cookbook.
To answer my own question, my favorite episode is “Chips for Sister Marsha” which is no surprise since I love The Chewy so much.
Don’t forget about my Power of Pink Challenge going on all month.
I am Jen the Beantown Baker. Engineer by day and baking maven by night. Hubby serves as my #1 fan and official taste tester. We got hitched back in 2006. Barefoot. In the sand. With the waves crashing behind us. It was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. 
My last huge successful meal is the crown roast from Bon Apetite magazine. I almost canceled making it when I found out how much it cost, but ended up making it anyway. I’m glad I did, everybody loved it!
I Tweeted your giveaway!
My last hugely successful meal was sundried tomato and artichoke stuffed chicken breasts for 60you people! I have never cooked for that many people at once but with the help of my Mom we pulled it off! 🙂
My last hugely successful meal was pad Thai for friends.
Thanksgiving
I’d have to say my Christmas Eve meal. Yummy pork tenderloin, baked cauliflower and my grandma’s spinach that was all on the table within 20 minutes of my planned dinner time. I’d call that a success!
The last hugely successful meal I executed was actually a cookie swap party. I asked people who RSVP’d to bring only a dozen cookies. Everyone brought so much more and brought snacks, too. I was so worried there wouldn’t be enough, I made too much just in case. Instead I had to have one guest make sure no one left without a good supply. And we helped each other set up trays for relatives in nursing homes, nursing home staff.
The spirit of the holidays was incredible and brought a bunch of strangers so much closer. (We’re all snowbirds in a campground in Mississippi)
I made slow roasted pork chops with apples and onions, scalloped potatoes and I baked Italian bread. So simple yet delicious!
I am a vegetarian, but I made Christmas dinner for our family and successfully made the ham. Everyone loved it, thank goodness! 🙂
Thanksgiving! Gluten free thanksgiving to be more specific 🙂
