It is the last half of another month.... Time to give away another piece (or two) of Corningware rescued from the local thrift store.
Two Sidekick plates (P-140-B) to accompany the Grab-it line produced in the late 70's and 80's. Not as vintage as I would like to get, but they are fairly convenient to have around. Everyone should have a sidekick.
They are great for Mise en place, or to hold Cornbread sticks when eating Chili, my grandmother used 1 as a butter dish and her others as bread and butter plates. They even make great spoon rests.
These two are from different periods in Corningware's history. The one with the printed bottom is from the 70's (4 1/2 x 6 3/4 inches)
and the one with the embossed bottom is from the 80's after the switch to metric. (22cm x 27cm)
You will probably notice that I am using Punchtab for this giveaway. Again. Even though it caused problems the last time.
I went and checked out Rafflecopter and, well to be honest... It sucks. That is, unless you pay them a monthly fee. Once you shell out some coin, they suddenly let you use the features that you really need to be able to use to run a giveaway. Oh, it has a couple things you can do, like leave a comment. That pretty much covers it except for the ability to "like" a page on facebook. Honestly though, if you are reading this post, chances are you have already liked "Culinary Alchemist" on facebook, so that is really not any help whatsoever.
Speaking of facebook. You can enter this giveaway with your facebook id instead of your email address, but that is as far as the facebook'ing goes for this giveaway. I have been doing some reading and it is actually a violation of the facebook's guidelines for me to be making people "like" or "share" to enter any sort of giveaway, and I don't want to loose my Fan Page.
Here is a snippet from Blogging Basics 101....
"Can bloggers ask for Facebook Likes as an extra entry for contests or giveaways that they host on their blogs? The answer is no. You simply cannot ask for Likes as any means of entry. Not the main entry, nor as an additional entry."
As a result, FB is gone... No likes, no shares... Nuthin. It's all OK though. You can still Comment, Pin, Follow on Twitter, and Tweet. As a bonus, if someone clicks the link in your tweet, you get an additional entry. You can even +1 this post on Google+ this time. :-)
The giveaway entry period will run from 6 pm Sept. 19th thru 11:59 pm on the 30th of September. You can only "Pin" or "Follow on Twitter" once, but you should be able to comment and tweet this post multiple times.
A winner will be chosen at random by PunchTab on the 1st of October. I will email the lucky recipient from my own email address to request shipping information, just in case the auto-email sent from PunchTab triggers people's spam filters.
Good luck to everyone!
Where is your Corningware??
