We Have A Winner!

My first book title (whenever I get around to writing it) will be...

Well, it’s the 24th, the day after my birthday.  Yes, it was lovely, thankyouverymuch.  Anyway, as promised, The Impartial Beloved has chosen the Incredibly Lucky Winner of my first co-authoring endeavor, Starting from Scratch.  And the winner is…………………………..Camille, from Croque Camille, for her submission of a)Pastry Chef Offline, with a pithy subtitle (TBD), about freeing Onesself from looking up things all the time and for b)leaving feedback about the new site.  She digs the A Day in the Life page.  If you’re wondering if you’d like to be a pastry chef in a restaurant, read this (she modestly declares).  It’ll give you an idea about how it goes.

If the Choux Fits, submitted by Libby from At the Very Yeast, was a strong contender.  That Libby, she is witty! 

I also got a lot of good feedback including having a FAQ page, perhaps doing a section on Foods I Would Never Willingly Ingest (I’m looking at you, Cool Whip), and pointing out of some (many) Links to Nowhere.

Thank you all for your participation.  With such a good response, I might just have to give away some more stuff at some point…

Camille, I shall be contacting you Shortly to get your address so I can send the book across the Big Water to La France.  Also, so you can let me know if you want a One of a Kind Autographed edition!

The roll-out of Pastry Chef Online is just the first step.  I’ll be tweaking and adding and Tweaking and Adding for the Rest of My Life.  I truly want PCO and PMAT to be resources that you turn to over and over for answers to questions, new ideas or maybe just a laugh or two.  As always, if you ever have any questions or feedback, shoot me an email at pastrychefonline at yahoo dot com, and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can.  You can also join The Forum.  Right now, most of the posts are questions for me, but I’m hoping that one day it will reach Critical Mass and folks will ask each other for help.

Okay, that’s it.

    Thanks, Tangled Noodle! And Jenni and The Beloved! (Is it weird to call him that? I mean, I have my own Beloved. Anyway.) I’m pleased as punch! Will email you Shortly. :)

    Yes I have been called the Queen of Corn at times, meaning corny jokes, phrases, puns.

    Have conquered the darned pie crusts and just wanted to say thanks once more. The pecan one here is a beauty but will get better snaps tomorrow. Too tired to drag over the big camera.

    And just a closing note – I have found a food label for you that will make you want to hide the puppies and small children. I’ll let you know when I post it on the blog.

    Happy Thanksgiving to you and Beloved ;-)

    Well, a (belated) happy birthday to you. I do like Croque Camille’s winning title, though I am a big fan of Libby’s entry too. Can I pre-order a copy of the book now? :)
