Let me just start by saying that a half full bottle of neon blue food dye will cover the entire bottom half of a 35 pound four year-old quite nicely. Maybe you'll get pictures before it fades. Maybe.
Okay, so here's the giveaway for this week! Pillsbury has a new frozen pastry bite called Savorings. They're pretty darn tasty! I tried the mozzarella and pepperoni flavor today, and even though they are perfect accompaniment for a glass of wine, they went pretty good with a Sunday afternoon football game, too.
I was a little disappointed because the flavor I really wanted to try (cheese and spinach) was sold out at my local superstore, so it was either the mozzarella and pepperoni or buffalo style chicken. It was too hard to decide, so I closed my eyes and pointed. Oh yeah, I'm scientific like that.
After I tasted the mozzarella and pepperoni Savorings, I quickly got over my dissapointment. Pillsbury knows what they're doing. The outside pastry stayed light and crispy even though the filling was deliciously oozy. Yum!
This is an awesome set! You'll get a corkscrew, a really nice wine stopper, a set of wine glass charms, a booklet on pairing wines, one of those noshing plates with a slot for your stemware, and a great gift bag with tag! Oh, and a coupon to try the Savorings of your choice for free! Even if you're not a big wine drinker, this would make a great hostess gift for those holiday parties coming up soon. Pair it with a great bottle of wine and you'll be sure to get invited back over and over!
If you want to be included in the drawing, which will be held on Saturday, November 1st at 8pm EST, just leave me a comment about who you would love to have at your next get together and why. It could be anyone, dead or alive, famous or not. Don't forget to leave a way for me to contact you in case you win, too. Good luck!

I would love to have my family at my next get together. We don't' get to see each other very often due to the large distance. They live in Georgia and We live in Ohio.
Great give away!
This is interesting. I would like to have Jesus, Angelina Jolie, and my family. Just think it would be interesting. Thanks!
My family, including dead realtives.
This is an easy one...No need for any famous people, just my mom, my grandmother and my sister. They are all deceased and I miss them.
I would love to have Shia LeBeouf and Scarlett Johanssen over, thanks!
I wish I could have my relatives who live far away in florida at our next get together, we never see them and I miss all of them terribly!

I'd love to just have all of my family together, including both sets of grandparents, who have all passed on. The last time we were all together was at my wedding. I wish they could meet my 7 month old son.
I would probably have a get together with my friends...I need time away from my boys and have adult conversation!

I would love to have some friends over we haven't seen in a few years. I miss them terribly, but they'd love a fun party! Thanks for the giveaway!
I would VERY MUCH love to have my Mom and Dad at my next get together. Dad is still alive but my Mom passed away almost 5 years ago. I would also love to have my father and step mother (My "mom and dad" are really my paternal grandparents who raised me), my mother and father in law (both deceased), my great-grandparents (all of them deceased), all my cousins and aunts and uncles... just make it like a massive family reunion. That would be wonderful.
We don't live near any of our family so it's usually just me, my hubby and our kids for the holidays. And that can be lonely sometimes.
Thanks for a great giveaway!

I would love to have about 5 of my closest college friends over. We're scattered all over the country (and world!) and it's just so hard to keep in touch. We would ditch the kiddos with all our hubbies and just eat and laugh and feel young and irresponsible again. ;)
I would love to have my dad there.
He works alot and I don't get too see him as often as I would like.

Plus for fun I'd like to have the next president, whoever he turns out to be, so we can all tell him how we'd run the country!

Thanks so much for the AWE-some Give-oh-Way!

i want all my old friends from indiana
I'd love to have my wacky aunt whos out in Mass at my next giveaway, she always keeps things lively!
I can't think of any "famous" people I'd have over, though my husband would love any football player probably. I'd just like to get my family together more often for supper.. but one of my sister's in in Georgia now (I live in NW Ohio) and my dad lives in Michigan. Both of my sisters have three kids, so that makes it harder still.. and my mom, well, she never seems to have time for much.
For now, my husband's family makes up for it a little every Sunday, because we all have supper together on Sundays.
raspberrykitty at aol dot com
I would have my mom, because she is the life of the party.
It would be really fun to finally "meet" some of my new bloggy friends.

I'd love to have my mother at my next get-together. She passed away in 1995, and even though it's been a while, I still miss her every day.
Thanks for the great giveaway!
I've got one little lady that I NEED to get over here. There is a 90 yr old woman that lives alone across the street. Rarely does anyone visit her, not even her son. I don't know how she manages alone and we've spoken with her and asked if she'd like to come over some time.
She seems sooo sweet. It's just a matter of my prioritizing and not worrying so much about a perfect house. She probably can't even see!
seriously my grandfolks who passed away when I was young- just to hug for a moment a refresh the memory of their smells please enter me- very nice- thanks mrs.mommyyatgmail.com
I would love to have my sister, Mom and my close girlfriends over. It seems we get so busy with our lives that we don't slow down to just have a "night" anymore!

Jon Stewart, what a great conversation he must make!
I would really love to have my dad at my dinner party. It's not possible because he's in heaven now but I truly wish I could see him again and enjoy his company, give him giant hugs and be able to tell him how much I truly love him. I know he knows that but I feel ripped off because he died unexpectedly and I didn't get to say goodbye.

Oh, just send me a couple Nascar drivers and I'd be a happy gal! Maybe Jimmie Johnson and Tony Stewart. I know I could hold my own in converstions with them! Thanks for asking!
I (thankfully) see my family all the time, so I'm afraid I'll have to go with a celebrity here: I'd invite Hugh Laurie. First off, he's one of my favorite actors that's thankfully not dead. He also seems like a very kind person, and I believe he'd make very interesting conversation; he's done a lot in his life.
(oh yeah, and he's nice to look at, too!)

jen62728@aol.com
Well, at the risk of being boring, I really enjoy just my family getting together. Thanksgiving is a big day for us, even though it is just our immediate family. We all pitch in to cook a huge meal, and sit around the table eating and laughing and talking.
I am afraid I may sound dull too, but my ideal get together would have my husband's parents, sister, and grandparents. They all live in PA, and some of them I haven't even met yet. He misses them so much!
Great giveaway and blog!
