My bloggy friend Jen on the Edge is one of the coolest ladies I know. Not only is she incredibly witty in her writings about Jenworld and its inhabitants, she is also a superhero when it comes to conservation and the environment, currently in the process of building her very own, eco-friendly house. A visit to any of Jen's blogs never disappoints, which is why I am one of her many avid fans.
So imagine my excitement when Jen hosted a bloggy giveaway and I actually WON it. You have to understand that I never win anything. This is the first time I have ever won anything, ever! After many Canada Post-related delays (don't ask), I am now the proud owner of
With my very own message from Jen herself:
Fortunately, today is rainy here in Toronto, allowing the boys and me to bake without feeling guilty about how we 'ought to be outside'. Here's what's just gone into the oven:
(Sorry. Blogger is acting up, and insisting on showing this picture sideways).
I can't wait until it's ready, so I can sit back with a cup of tea, a slice of this yumminess and a good book.
Thanks, Jen! You rock!

I love the Mitford books--I didn't know they had a cookbook. Enjoy your day in the kitchen with your boys!
I didn't know there was a cookbook for this series either. I'm definitely checking out her blog. And hope you enjoyed your yummieness!
Those Mitford books are among my favorites! I'm guessing that's a really great cookbook just based on the wonderful descriptions of food prevalent throughout the series. I'm going to go and check out your friend's blog now. Have a great weekend.

Heidi, you make me sound like I'm some sort of goddess, when my husband and children can swear that I am all too human and imperfect.
I'm glad the book arrived and can't wait to read about your adventures with southern cooking.
XO, Jen
