Have you ever heard of A Flash in the Pan? I have! I have!
You know, I’m sure you are all sitting around wondering what in the heck I think I’m doing talking to you about cooking. But, what I’m thinking is this….maybe I should learn how to cook sooner than later.
No, really, we eat out of boxes for the most part and neither of us really have a clue when it comes to cooking how to put together a balanced meal. I don’t want kids to grow up with these horrible eating habits and thus far, we haven’t given them a very good start.
So, if you want to learn a little about A Flash in the Pan you can go read the Press Release. Just don’t forget to come back so you can qualify for the contests.
Ok, are you back?
Now, let me tell you a little bit about A Flash in the Pan ok?
Max and Nancy are two chefs from Napa Valley and founders of aflashinthepan.com. They both graduated from the Culinary Institute of America and have over 35 years of professional culinary experience between them.
I have a year membership to the site, A Flash in the Pan for one of my lucky readers.
And, there’s more, just keep reading…at the bottom *hint hint*
So, here’s how this works ok.
1. Comment here on my blog before April 21 at noon Eastern Time.
2. On April 21st I will do a random draw and one person from this site will win a free one year membership to A Flash in the Pan
3. Also on April 21st I will take all the comments regarding A Flash in the Pan from this site, Mom~E~Centric and from Parenting Sites 411 and I will use Random.org to choose one semi-finalist.
4. I will send the name of the person that I get from number 3 to the coordinator of a the #FIPan twitter party which will take place on April 22.
5. The pre-party for #FIPan twitter party starts at 7 PM Eastern time and will go until we are all twittered out. (Some of you may now the last hashtag party I hosted lasted 5.5 hours).
6. Then, at the #FIPan party, another 25 winners will be given a year’s membership to A Flash in the Pan.
7. And, then finally, the Grand Prize Winner will be chosen from the semi-finalist submitted by all 25 bloggers who participated.
One lucky winner will win both of them for one evening and an incredible 6-course dinner for 6 people. Both chefs will come to the winner’s house, prepare the feast AND clean up after! So, decide who your five best friends are and enter to win!
8. You can enter once on all 3 of my sites if you want but you can only win once. I will choose the semi-finalist from all the entries on all 3 blogs, then I will choose one winner on each blog from the remaining entries to receive the 1 year membership to A Flash in the Pan.
9. If you have won a membership on any of the blogs that are promoting this party or if you are chosen as a semi-finalist, you will be not be eligible to win at the # party. However, you should most definitely plan to participate in the party because….surprises do happen every now again….
Finally, that brings me to my general disclaimer for contests, it reads like this:

Will the chefs let me pretend I cooked the meal? Because I need some bragging rights in the hostess department.

I am entering because I have a diabetic BIL, and I cook his meals often. This would be a blessing for him.
