    Yup. It must be luck because I just keep on winning great stuff from Blake over at BlakeMakes.com. This time it is Fig & Ginger Chutney from the folks over at McQuade's Celtic Chutney. Those who wanted a chance at winning had to post what they would do with the jar of chutney. The best 24 entries won a jar. And I won!!! Check out this post for all of the winning entries and check back here in a week or two for my pork chop and dessert recipe!

    the airy fairy gets her wings on a SOOPER delight from Blake Makes and McQuade's!

    http://airyfairycupcakes.blogspot.com/2008/04/airy-fairy-get...

    recently i signed up to be a part of the SOOPZ network on Blake Makes which as Blake himself describes it... "I started SOOPZ as a way to give food bloggers free food. I, myself, am a food blogger, and I love getting free food. SOOPZ is a way for me to share the love. I like the fact that the idea is very simple: “Food bloggers get free food. Food companies get free publicity. Everyone’s happy." this sounded perfect to me especially when i found out that anyone who signs up is called a "SOOPER HERO"...so cute! i love baking and have no problem trying something new out especially if it arrives at my door in a nicely wrapped package. no fuss but lots of fun tasting and experimenting! anyway, on thursday, Blake had a giveaway planned for jars of McQuade's Celtic (Fig & Ginger) Chutney. you can read about the giveaway here. all you had to do was post a comment about what you wanted to make with the chutney. of course, i quickly put my baking cap on and came up with two suggestions involving both a sweet (ricotta and chutney) and savoury (goat's cheese and chutney) cupcake and guess what? it must have hit a tastebud with Blake because i was picked and shall be expecting a jar of the lovely stuff in the post sometime next week. you can read more about the other winners here and what they are going to cook up. meanwhile, i shall be anxiously checking the post box every morning to make sure that the leprechuns don't steal away my SOOPER delight from me first!

    This week I discovered the wonderful Blake Makes food blog. Black Killian is from New Orleans and as an added bonus to his amazing recipes and food photos, Blake and his wife offer FREEBIES! A few days after joining I found the first Sooper Heroes post! The Chutney Crostata Give-Away followed by the All-Day-sign-up-24-free-jars-of-chutney! I was so excited to see my name at the top of the recent winners post. Look for updates once I receive my winnings. :)
