I’D LIKE TO THANK all 1,149 of you who entered my latest giveaway. Would you believe that over the course of one week I read all of your comments? And I came to the conclusion that I should buy each and every one of you a brand new food processor. Alas, there could be only one winner for this random drawing:
The little number gadget at Random (dot) org selected comment #361, which belongs to reader Cathy: Believe it or not, I got a little choked up when I saw this giveaway! I love to cook (and try your recipes) but have limited appliances…favorite dessert? Cheesecake, of course!
Congratulations, Cathy — you’ve won the 7-cup Cuisinart Food Processor! Check your inbox for an email from me.

Congrats, Cathy! May the Cuisinart bring health and happiness to your home! 🙂
Kevin – This is why I love reading your blog, it is full of great information and wonderful people. In other places on the internet, the comments are littered with trash, here, everyone is so awesome and the comments are like your gardens, beautiful and full of life. It’s refreshing to know that there are people out there that are positive, helpful and sharing! Thanks, again.
Vicki says
Congrats, Cathy! Your response had me laughing and crying! Enjoy your new toy, and be sure to tell us, through Kevin’s blog, how not only your cheesecakes (yes, in the plural!) turn out, but also what other great things you learn from having your new kitchen helper. Maybe someday you will get to see Kevin’s house and garden in person! He’s just as great in real life as he is in the blog (we are local friends here in Columbia County).
Annie says
Cathy…Enjoy…Happy processing!
Cathy says
Thank you all for your beautiful encouraging responses. How nice of each of you to take the time to congratulate me. I wish I could meet each one of you and be friends and cook together and share the food processor. I would, you know. Spending the day in the kitchen with other women who love to cook is my idea of a fun day. God bless each and every one of you! Love and hugs.

I almost felt guilty for entering this contest because I had already read Cathy’s comment and others. I already have a Cuisinart that my parents gave me for my wedding 30 years ago, and Cathy had none, so I’m really happy that Cathy won. Cathy, enjoy! I love my Cuisinart and it’s still working!

Cathy says
THE CUISINART HAS ARRIVED!!!
It was soooo exciting waiting for the delivery man. My cousin happened to be over that day and we both ran to the window like little children looking for Santa every time we heard a truck. When it finally came, we greeted the delivery man with the door already wide open and told him all about the contest. He just smiled at us.
It’s sitting proudly on my counter and so beautiful. Thank you once again Kevin! Can’t wait to rev it up this weekend.
Now, what to make for it’s maiden voyage????
Linda W says
Is there a mistake. I thought the contest was over, but then I read your post on FB which says it ends tonight.
Either way, it is very generous of you to offer give-aways periodically. We all enjoy the opportunity to add something to our kitchen, that will make our work there, more enjoyable.
Kevin Lee Jacobs says
Cathy – I’m so happy your Cuisinart arrived safely. Let us know how the machine works out for you, okay?
Linda W – Once or twice each month, I purchase some nifty item…and then give it away. The drawing above ended some time ago. Meanwhile, another drawing, which is listed on the homepage, and which also involves a Cuisinart food processor, is underway.
