Happy Stormy Casual Friday everyone!! Superbowl Sunday is just a few days away and everywhere I go the talk is about the ads, parties, football food, and of course, the game! So, let’s have some fun with this today. Vote, comment and win a cool Kipling handbag for spring!
Let’s start with a quick vote.
On Super Bowl Sunday, will you?
And for today’s discussion.
Will you watch the game? Go to a Superbowl party? Which team are you cheering for? Do you have some favorite Superbowl food recipes? Do you watch the game just for the commercials? Or would you rather blow the whole thing off and go shopping? Plus the normal Friday stuff.

 UPDATE: The winners of the chocolate giveaway are comment #37 (Sheila), #123 (Alice) and #277 (Erika).Â
I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving! To kick off the holiday season, I have a very yummy giveaway today. Ferrero, the company that brings us the very delicious Ferrero Rocher chocolates, has created a dark chocolate version just in time for holiday parties and gift giving.
Ferrero Rondnoir dark chocolates, features a dark chocolate cream surrounding a crisp wafer and topped with crunchy dark chocolate morsels. Ferrero sent us some to sample and I can not even begin to tell you how good they were!!
In addition to debuting their new chocolate this season, The Ferrero Company is getting in the spirit by partnering with Share Our Strength®, one of the nation’s leading organizations working to end childhood hunger in America.
They have created a new site called Share Something Sweet which allows you to send interactive, virtual electronic snow
globes to friends and family that can be customized by uploading photographs as well as personal messages. As part of its commitment to SOS, Ferrero is donating $20,000 to the charity. You can join us in supporting this cause by sending a personalized e-card snow globe and spreading the word. You can upload your own photos they are super cute. The site also features tips from Food Network chef Michael Chiarello.
Ferrero has sent me three 12 count boxes of Rondnoir to give away to my fabulous readers - so that means this week we will have three winners instead of one. And, I have decided that the giveaways will go from Friday to Thursday from here out. You have until midnight Thursday, November 29 to enter.
All you have to do to enter this giveaway is leave a comment. This week we are talking about the holidays. Did you have a good Thanksgiving? With today being Black Friday, how much shopping are you doing today? Are you doing most of your shopping online or will you brave the stores?
