Two more things
A few things I forgot to mention in my earlier post. 1) Marxfoods is having another contest. This time it is photography related, so all you budding (or professional) photographers out there that have blogs, here is a great opportunity to stock up your pantry with delicious vanilla beans right in time for the holiday baking season.

Jean George has a $30 lunch special: any two entrees for $30.
