Experiments in a Galley Kitchen: Part 2

This started as a way to chronicle my love of all things food - grocery shopping, cooking stores, recipes, baking, cooking and experimenting.

I found that however much I love food, there are other things that occupy my time/thoughts. Some serious - God, family, health, love and more. Other thoughts are definitely not serious - fashion, cosmetics, moisturizers, conditioner and perhaps even my search for the perfect pair of running shoes.

Why share all this with "strangers"? My husband, Mr. Potts, tells me I am a chatty Cathy something akin to a wind up doll where you pull the string and the chatting starts. He appreciates the fact that I choose to spare him (sometimes) all these random thoughts. Yet, he also benefits from my musings on food and my experiments in our kitchen.

I hope you'll enjoy my thoughts - say hello and let me know what you think!

Part 2

There is nothing I love more than sitting on our deck in the warm weather with the sun out, the fan on, a cocktail by my side (usually wine or a cucumber cosmo) and a good book to read. I tend to read more in the warm weather - I think it is the deck that draws me in.

So for the second part of my giveaway, I'm including a fun summer read. For those of you who read/watched The Devil Wears Prada, Chasing Harry Winston is the book for you!

You'll laugh out loud while reading about 3 friends who decide to change their lives in some way.

So, you'll be entering for a chance to win the Cocktail Party set from Philosophy and Chasing Harry Winston.
