This is the book everyone seems to be talking about. If you haven't managed to get your hands on a copy, here's your chance.

Brief rules (more fine print in the sidebar under Giveaway)

13 or older, US only. I'd really appreciate it if you followed the blog! Just click the blue button directly to the right of this post >

You can have up to two entries. You can get an entry by:

1) Answering the question below in the comments
2) Tweeting about the contest (please include link to blog)

Then fill out the Google Doc below to let me know how many entry chances you earned and how to get in touch with you. I'll close the contest and email the winner around 9 am EST on Wednesday, Nov 23. I'll mail the book out that day if you get back to me by 3 pm EST with a mailing address.

QUESTION:
In the book, they eat little cubes of what Juliette calls "fake food." Ugh! I love thinking about (real) food, discussing it, and eating it. Tell me about your favorite dish for family gatherings. It could be your favorite Thanksgiving dish, or just anything that you associate with happy family food memories!

    My favorite food to make is mac and cheese! lol It's one of my all times faves and the best comfort food EVER! I know its not a main meal, more of a side dish, but its always a crowd pleaser!

    My favorite food is Chips and Salsa. I have to be careful when I have them in the house because I can seriously eat an entire bag of chips and jar of salsa by myself. Its an addiction. :)

    Yay -- Shanan stopped by. I love salty food more than sweet. I can eat an entire bag of potato chips or tortilla chips, no problem...

    My favorite Thanksgiving food is pumpkin pie. Once, we ran out of round pie dishes just hours before dinner and had to make the pumpkin pie in a square casserole dish. Since then, the square pumpkin pie has become a staple for us!

    Well I'm a vegetarian so every Thanksgiving I enjoy a Tofurkey! They are really way better than they sound especially if you cook it right! I also love dessert. Chocolate pie of any kind is fabulous!

    @anonymeet Oh, that's such a great story. I love it when families have funny inside traditions like that!

    @Jennifer I I have never had tofurky or turducken. My mom makes the best turkey ever so I am just always trying to live up to that!

    Ooh my mom makes this amazing Indian thing that's like deep friend bread...It's a snack but it is SO ADDICTING!! Once you eat one, you will never go back to chips LOL!
    Thanks for the giveaway!! It's perfect timing because my book group is reading this right now and I need to get my hands on a copy! Not-so-subtle pleasing over. :P

    Yay Ana -- glad you showed up!
    That fried bread snack sounds delicious. I love breads like naan and papadum. And whatever that green cilantro (?) sauce is that sometimes comes with Indian food -- I could drink that. I need to learn how to make it!!

    And thanks for the tip on the Twitter link. Believe it or not, I just learned how to do that yesterday. Maybe everybody knows but me?
