If those post were only 500 words each, that's a half-million words. And I'm willing to bet that most were WELL over 500 words. No wonder I wore out the e-key on my laptop!
When I started this blog, I wondered if I'd have enough to say to sustain regular posting. Well, it turns out that I like to blab. A lot. Some days, I've had so much going on that I posted twice.
And sometimes I'm so scatterbrained that I've accidentally posted twice. Oops.
But either way, the post earlier today was #1000, and now I'm embarking on the second thousand.
So, let's celebrate, shall we? And what better way to celebrate than with a gift? No, not for me. For you. I've got one of these to give away:
Pretty, isn't it? It's a soapstone pizza stone in a metal carrying ring made by All Clad
And it includes the pizza cutter as well. Besides baking on the stone, you can chill it and use to to serve cold foods. You want one, don't you?
I did a review of a whole bunch of pizza stones for Serious Eats, and this was one I reviewed and I really liked. Here's my review of this one. And here's the roundup of the whole bunch of them.
When the nice folks at All Clad shipped the baking stone to me to review, they accidentally shipped two. I contacted them and asked what I should do with the second one. "Whatever you like," they said. So I boxed it up and waited for a good time to give it away.
The celebration of 1000 posts seems like a good time. Right?
Yeah, I thought so, too.

My friends at Marx Foods have sweetened the pot a bit. There will be a SECOND winner, and that person will receive 1/4 pound of vanilla beans from Marx Foods. If you've never tried fresh vanilla beans (instead of the crunchy stale ones that you often find at grocery stores) you need to try them! I've used vanilla beans from Marx, and they're AWESOME!
No additional hoops to jump through for entry - just one additional prize!
Good luck!
