September 10, 2009. 8 Comments
When I was in grade school and our teacher assigned a research paper, my friends and I walked the two blocks to the local library for information. Most of the time our research consisted of copying text from the encyclopedia. My parents weren’t always around in the evenings and it was very rare for someone to check my homework word for word, mostly they asked if it was done.

Yesterday I contacted a sponsor for my Cookerati blog (Dunkin’ Donuts) to see if they would be interested in giving away a gift basket here. I thought it would be a nice change from the usual fare and an awesome gift for the winner. It occurred to me that I could do a lot more of these giveaways if I had enough sponsors and prizes.
