I won!

I have been entering giveaways on blogs for months (scroll down to see my list of 'Blogs I Love' on the right hand side) and I finally won something! I'm so excited! I won the book Etre the Cow by Sean Kenniff from Bok Choy Bohemia. I win stuff from instant win games and sweepstakes I post about but I never won anything from a blog giveaway before.

It's actually quite hilarious how I found the blog. I bought some bok choy from the local co-op because my husband was walking around the house one day saying, "Bok CHOOOOY!" When I saw it on the co-op order form, I wanted to try it. I picked up my food yesterday and realized I had no idea how to cook bok choy nor had I ever eaten it. So, I did what any sensible woman would do. I Googled bok choy. From there, I found the blog and really loved the content. So, I bookmarked the blog, entered the contest, and now I get to read a new book!

What did I end up making with the bok choy?
Bok Choy and Tofu Lo Mein!
I don't follow recipes but it's lo mein noodles with tofu, bok choy, toasted almonds, onion, yellow squash, and mushrooms. I seasoned it with soy sauce, ginger, Mrs. Dash Garlic Pepper, and red wine vinegar. It was delicious!!! I will be buying bok choy again. :)

Thank you MomLovesDeals!
I am so glad you are excited to read my book. Given your background in English Lit I hope you love it. Please let me know what you think. If you enjoy ETRE please tell all of your friends about it. ETRE THE COW, is just $8.60 on Amazon in hardcover. So it is economical and philosophical! And you don't even have to clip a coupon--or enter a sweepstakes! Thank you again, so much. Enjoy.
