A new home, a new look, and a giveaway!

by Lana on August 4, 2009 · 26 comments

Contest is closed! And, the winner is….. #13 Jessie of  Simply Scrumptious

And a very scientific drawing it was, too. At 5:00 I asked my grandson, A, to pick a number between 1 and 22 (the total number of comments). He said, “13!” So, 13 it is!

Congratulations, Jessie. I’ll email you shortly to get your shipping information. Thanks to everyone for your kind and encouraging words about the new blog home.

———————————————————————————————

There was some elbow grease involved, some heavy lifting, some DNS magic and lots of photo editing, but Never Enough Thyme has officially moved to its very own home on the internet.

The old blog will stay in place so that those links are still available, but all new content will now be hosted here on www.lanascooking.com. So, please update your bookmarks if you have them.

In honor of the big move, I’m doing my first ever giveaway. It’s not anything huge, just a thank you gift for one lucky reader.

giveaway

Three cool little kitchen gadgets. The one at the bottom that looks like a stainless steel bar of soap is, well, a stainless steel bar of soap. Seriously, this is something that I use constantly in my own kitchen. Put a little soap on your hands, pick up the bar and rub under running cold water. It will remove all smells from your hands. Seriously. Anything. Even fish. Even garlic and onions. If you don’t have one, you’ll love this! On the top left is a neat refrigerator magnet with a convenient list of measurement conversions and the one on the top right is a palm peeler.  You just slip it over your middle finger and peel away. Easier than gripping a regular peeler.

So, if you’re interested in winning these items, just leave me a comment and be sure to include your email address. The contest will close at 5:00 p.m. on Thursday afternoon. I’ll choose a random number for the winner and notify you as soon as possible.

Thanks everyone for visiting Never Enough Thyme. And, let me know what you think about the new look!

It looks great! So fresh. Like you’re stepping into your kitchen and sit down at the kitchen table with a cup of coffee.

I’m loving the new look, it is far better to have your own host and own web address too because you have more freedom to do as you wish!

I would like to enter the contest! I love new kitchen gadgets

I found your site a week ago or so, and immediately printed out some recipes! I like the fact that you posted on okra – this southern delicacy is so maligned. I planted some, and it’s shooting out like crazy right now!

The new design is really cheerful, and professional-looking at the same time. Keep up the good work (and I would love to win your goodies)!

Man, this makes me hungry! I didn’t know anything about that stainless bar thing! What a great addition to the kitchen. I always make my husband cut up the onions because I don’t like the smell on my hands afterwards. Maybe he will buy me one of those things!

I am having a wine and cheese get-together next weekend. Any suggestions for a menu?

Ok now I want a stainless steel bar of some, where ever did you find those gadgets, I don’t see a link on this site.

Cheryl – All three came from my local Williams-Sonoma outlet store. I could spend hours in there!
