Well, a few weeks ago, Tennessee-based (Franklin, USA) Rosemary at "Living As Rosa" (one of my favorite blogs/see info), launched a "Chinese Pu'er Tea Cake Giveway" contest. All we had to do was leave a message in the comment section and wait for your name to get drawn.
It was a big surprise for me to discover that I was the lucky winner (see post)! I'm mean, I NEVER won anything in the past. Well, not exactly... Last December, Rosemary had already sent me a parcel with lots of great stuff (see post)! But, on a general basis, I'm not really used to be really fortunate when it comes to winning things...
So, two weeks ago, instead of the usual bills, my postman brought me a big parcel. I wasn't expecting anything else that the tea cake I had won, but, as usual, Rosemary added a few more goodies (Jelly Belly candies & a few US magazines such as "Cook's Illustrated" and "Cook's Country"). How sweet and thoughtful of her!
THANKS A MILLION TIMES, ROSEMARY!YOU REALLY ROCK...
