Planned!

Here it is: the plan for rhymeswithsmile's first birthday.  Ready? 

I took a little survey of friends and the overwhelming feedback was either to have a great meal for everybody or send them food.  So, I've decided to have TWO parts to the first bloggiversary event.   Read on.

Part 1: This coming Friday (November 20, 2009) rhymeswithsmile and Mr. rhymeswithsmile will be hosting a Potluck for all of our friends that can come.  We (ok, I) want it to be a nice meal from scratch ... you know, the meat and sides and done-up desserts that you only pull out for special occasions - your grandmother's roast, Aunt Jane's asparagus and bacon appetizers, the neighbor's cornbread - you get the picture.  And bring the recipe!  The collection of recipes will be featured on rhymeswithsmile in the coming week, on the actual bloggiversary.  

Logistically speaking, we will provide the main dish and a dessert.  You can bring whatever you want!  Let us know that you're coming, though, so that I know how much main dish to prepare.

Part 2: For those that won't be able to make it to the potluck (that's right - potluck attendees are ineligible, sorry!), you are invited to the first ever rhymeswithsmile giveaway going on RIGHT NOW!  I will draw TWO lucky people to receive either a loaf of pumpkin-chocolate-chip bread or a batch of cookies (probably chocolate-chocolate chip, unless you object).  All you have to do is put your name, an email address (so I can get in touch with you about winning!), and which prize you'd prefer in the comments section.  Feel free to tell your friends about it.

Contest closes on Friday November 20, 2009 at noon, at which time I will draw the two winners!  

I'm so excited I could just bust.  This is so much fun.
