Baking With Betty – Fabulous RED Goodie Bag Winner

September 6, 2010 By Marta Darby 3 Comments

I realized late on this day, when I was already at my in-laws house celebrating Labor Day that I had Something To Do that I had forgotten about. Being a little bit A.D.D. it could have been anything from leaving the sprinklers on to not folding a load of laundry.

It was when someone at the luncheon started asking me questions about how I do giveaways on my blog that I had the D'oh! FacePalm moment. Giveaway! On my blog! Big oops! 

Tote & decorator
Yeah, so…without further ado (and more forgetful embarrassment) the very cool and fabulous RED Betty Crocker Goodie bag goes to:

Churros!
Who would have thunk it??? I would love to try churros stuffed with
mango jam. Yum! They would probably be great with a bit of anise in the
batter and sprinkled with just sugar. Ok, I need to make some NOW!

I have only used Bisquick for pancakes (duh) & beer biscuits (yum).


**************************************************

Congratulations, Lissete.

Please send me an email with your snail mail address and Hey, Marta! I won stuff on your blog! in the subject line and I will send you the Betty Crocker goodies ASAP.

But wait…I will be doing another fun Betty Crocker giveaway again tomorrow. And I will be asking a different question for the entries (but that's not important right now).

In the meantime, I'm thinking that maybe instead of a cooking show (great cooking show name suggestions, by the way) maybe I should write a telenovela and call it:

"La Mala Memoria de Marta."  😉

Where in the world is My Big Fat Cuban Family Mart Where in the world is My Big Fat Cuban Family Marta? 🌎 👀I’ve been so super obviously absent from all my socials, let alone my blog itself.
For a while there, I was overwhelmed by the once easy task of documenting my day-to-day life.Everywhere I looked, people moved on to high production video and I was hopelessly lost, so I put writing on the shelf and happily got caught up on all the seasons I’ve missed from the Great British Baking Show.But then, as I often say, “life is in session,” and my life was accumulating entire chapters before I could even type, “Oh, the Cubanity!”Which brings us to today. I’m starting to dip my toe back into writing online. Mostly, I miss the writing and telling about my extraordinarily ordinary life and the daily happenings at Casa de la Loma.So, tell me: Do you have any questions for me as I get back into the over-sharing of my days? 👀#mybigfatcubanfamily #belikemarta #callmewella #mbfcf
