ARE YOU A WINNER?

It’s been a LONG two weeks waiting … waiting … waiting to announce a winner of my Kitchen Gadget Bonanza contest giveaway, but the wait is over. I tested the kitchen tools myself, blogged about them, and was fortunate enough to be able to offer one lucky reader a FREE set of Stress Less kitchen tools just for commenting on this blog.

These tools are pretty nifty, so be sure to read more about the Stress Less kitchen tools from the Trudeau Corporation, HERE:

And it’s time to announce the winner’s name … right after telling you a bit about the drawing itself. In fact, let me show you how I made sure this contest drawing was as impartial as I could make it.

To be free of my sole influence, I hired (well, bribed) an assistant. I carefully selected someone honest (other than the bribery thing), trustworthy, and – available mid-day on a Monday. I chose my lovely and completely unbiased granddaughter, Haley!

Here’s how we did it:

First, we compiled the names of the entrants onto three typed pages.

Next – we cut them out to make individual, same-sized slips of paper.

After folding them in half, we placed them in a colander. When I asked her to reach in and pick a name, she said, “Shouldn’t we use a Trudeau kitchen tool?”

The little smarty pants.…

I knew the pizza cutter, salt & pepper mills, and the Parmesan grinder were of no help. But, the garlic press and can opener were contenders. In the end, the can opener sufficed as the handles worked quite well as pincers.

Lastly – Haley reached in with the Stress Less Can Opener and drew out a name …..

Congratulations – Judith Gucker!!!
