Thank you to all of you who have been posting recipes! My Farm Bell recipe box overfloweth! To mention just a few, I can’t wait to try this chocolate cake the next time Weston’s vegan girlfriend is here, and I’m longing for this apple custard pie. But for now, I’m making this crock pot tamale recipe. Because the oven repairman–that Maytag is paying for!!–came yesterday. AND BROUGHT THE WRONG PART.
I can’t describe the disappointment. My loaf pans cried. Or maybe that was just me.
Okay, forget that, don’t worry about me! I’LL BE FINE. (Maybe. At least I can have these avalanche bars.)
Today’s giveaway is this candy/jelly/deep-fry thermometer with a pot clip. Cooking thermometers are so much fun. They make me feel so official!
For a chance to win: Just leave a comment on this post! One winner will be drawn by random comment number to receive the thermometer. Eligible entry cut-off is midnight Eastern (U.S.) time tonight (May 5). This post will be updated with the winner by 9 a.m. Eastern (U.S.) time tomorrow (May 6). Return to this post to see if you won.

I posted a recipe for boysenberry butter. My family absolutely loves it, and even through I listed that it makes 32 servings, it goes really fast, and then everyone is looking around, saying, “Is there any boysenberry butter left?”

Thermometer would be great for making candy….we used to do the ‘drop a little in cold water and test the consistency’ method. Many variances of firmness of the fudge!!

My repairman has been here twice for my oven…wrong part both times! Part was supposed to be shipped to me yesterday………..didn’t arrive.
I can use the oven if I bake everything on the same temperature using 3, 6, 8, 0 and maybe 9.
Good looking thermometer!

Great giveaways, Suzanne. Those bowls were gorgeous. Aren’t those colors pretty? Wish I’d had time to post a recipe yesterday. I will soon.
We’re promised 81º today and this morning we have gorgeous sunshine after a rainy day yesterday. The gardens and fields appreciated the moisture so it’s all welcome. I hope you have a great day!

Valerie says:
A person would think that a repairman would have a large assortment of parts for that particular model. So inefficient to travel to someone’s home and the trip is wasted. No wonder it takes so long for someone to come out in the first place, they are so busy making wasted trips.
I love this new site, it totally rocks.
