Debbie from The Friday Friends lives just down the road from me. I guess you could call her my neighbor. Actually, she lives in Winnemucca, Nevada and I live in Havre, Montana, which is 900 miles away, but in these parts that’s close enough to call ourselves neighbors!
So, over virtual coffee the other day, my neighbor Debbie talked about hosting a Carrot Cake Showdown on her blog. I told her I’d join her in hosting it because I’d like to giveaway a copy of my favorite cookbook of all time, Artisan Bread in 5 Minutes a Day.
