My First Giveaway!

RULES POSTED AT THE END OF THIS POST! =)
_________

This is my first giveaway! I'm really excited! I don't know why...

I really thought about what I should give away and decided that since I'm living in Napa, why not something Napa themed? Well, I wasn't about to ship bottles or cases of wine, so then I decided to pick some things representative of Napa...

At first, I felt nervous about doing a giveaway. I asked Andrew, "What if no one enters?" Then he said, "Then you can keep everything." Oh. "What if no one likes the things I picked?" "Then you can keep everything." Oh. I like this giveaway!!! (And I hope you do too... but if not, MORE FOR ME!!!)

1. The first item in this giveaway is from The Tyler Florence Shop in downtown Napa. It's a rub that can be used to season chicken or veggies, or whatever, before roasting. I haven't tried it before, but it says right on it, "THIS IS MY FAVORITE SEASONING FOR ANYTHING & EVERYTHING." Even fish? Even fruit? Even toast? Even socks? Even dog food Tyler? HMM?? Ok, got a little carried away there.

2. I saw this bar of chocolate and thought it was "Napa-ish" because they have all sorts of yummy and interesting food here. I haven't tried this flavor, but I have tried her black Hawaiian salt + burnt caramel dark chocolate and it was pretty tasty. Let me know how this is, whoever wins.

3. They sell this soap at a lot of markets in Napa. It's made here and it's really cute because if you look at the back,

they're named after the different wines. They also put ingredients grown locally in Napa into their soaps, cool huh? This particular one smells really fruity and slightly citrus-y. There are also scents like, "Cabernet Soapignon" and "Soapignon Blanc" where they put the actual wine into the soap.

4. Lastly, this isn't Napa-themed, but it is in a way because I eat it like everyday... in Napa. So... it's... in someway related to Napa? Haha. Anyway, this is like crack and I love it. I like it with toast but I imagine it'd be good on a croissant or bagel or a spoon, or on your finger, or squirted directly into your mouth... drooool!

So there you have it! You can put some almond butter on your bacon chocolate, sprinkle it with rub, and eat it while you bathe.

RULES:
To enter, just leave a comment with:
1. Your name, or else how would I know who you are?
2. The last thing you ate. YUM.

You can enter once a day to better your chances (An idea I got from Cindy!) until... umm... hm... uhhh...how long do they usually give these things? I guess Saturday the 5th! And I'll announce the winner on Sunday the 6th! (If I'm not feeling lazy... hee hee) GOOD BYE! I mean, GOOD LUCK!
