I spent the morning making some Green Chili Stew. What a process! The tiniest chilis, a dash of spices, and all day slow cooker should bring about this wonderful New Mexican stew. For me, Unconscious Mutterings are like a good stew. A little dash of this, a tiny bit of that and wha la! Every individual is unique, beautiful and a blessing in his or her own right.
Who won last week?? According to Random.org – our randomized number was two. That makes the lovely Topsurf from Three Ring Surface our winner!!
This week’s winner has the choice of: a signed copy of The Fey, a signed copy of Denver Cereal, a jar of honey or copy of the Homeowner’s Handbook to Energy Efficiency.
How do you play? Answer the word prompts (lovingly created by Pea at LunaNina.com) in the comments and I’ll draw randomly next Sunday. If you play, you also get a link at the bottom of the post just for playing.
I still love this game. Thanks for playing!
