We have our two winners for the Pork Chomps giveaway,
congratulations to Allison and Carol S. ( I will contact you for your info)
Pork Chomp- dog treats- review
-sponsored review- I was thrilled to be asked to review premium pork chomps 100% rawhide-free dog chews. Emma-the-wonder-labradoodle is a large dog, and she is more content when left home alone when she has something to chew. I had read that raw-hide treats can be dangerous, so I am constantly on the lookout for treats that will satisfy her need to chew but that will be safe. Pork Chomps are made from baked pork skin, have no dyes or fillers and they are more digestible than rawhide chews, dissolving up to twice as fast in a dog’s digestive enzymes. ( Journal of Animal Science article here)
I was given a nice assortment of products for Emma to review. The delivery of a big box of treats just for her, caused much excitement, she always seems to know when I bring home something just for her. I was sent quite a variety to sample including: Bacon Flavor Mini Twist, Baked Stripz, Baked Bones, Premium Sweet Potato Wrapped Sticks, Premium Bacon Flavored Twists, and Premium Sweet Potato Wrapped Bones. Emma has enjoyed everything she has tried, even the smaller plain-looking chews. I appreciated that the chews are not messy, won't stain fabrics and aren't odorous.
You can read more about these products at the Pork Chomps website , find descriptions of their products and find a list of retailers who carry these chews, I have noticed these chews at my local Petsmart. Pork Chomps has a facebook page, also

Medieval horse-inspired giveaway!

This giveaway is closed, congratulations to Ali, who is the winner!
This is a fun book, here is the write up at Sonlight's Curriculum site:
"Award-winning author tells the story of a young boy and his rigorous apprenticeship and training at Vienna's Spanish Court Riding school, home of the famous Lipizzan stallions."
and a review from one of their customers: "Loved this story of a boys perseverance in pursuit of his dream. And my son loved watching YouTube videos of Lippizaners once we finished the book."
from Random House:
"On the night of Guinevere’s birth, there was a prophecy that foretold she would one day be highest lady in the land and wed to a great king. But 13 years have passed, and the prophecy couldn’t be further off. Guinevere is now an orphan and a ward of her aunt and uncle, the king and queen of Gwynedd. Tomboyish and awkward, Gwen is no great beauty, and nobody takes the prophecy seriously–especially not Gwen. But then one day Gwen meets a strange young man in the woods who claims to be part of an ancient tribe whose mission is to guard and protect her. Then she stumbles across a sinister plot brewing within the castle walls–one she alone might be able to prevent. Guinevere is beginning to realize her destiny is more complex than it seems–and this is only the beginning."
***this giveaway is an independent giveaway, totally of my own dreaming up. Open only to the contiguous U.S. addresses only. Sorry. Void where prohibited.

The lychee lemongrass water sounds fab!
Thanks for entering!
Asiana Grill Yoshinoya -Review
Sky and I enjoyed a night out at Asian Grill Yoshinoya in Fullerton. Yes, it's the Yoshinoya brand I remember from our starving student days, but more sophisticated.
it was casual dining, the menu tells you to pick a "style" such as big platter, lots of soup or big yellow bun. You then pick a protein to fill it with such as chicken, shrimp, steak, tofu, etc. and then you pick a sauce.
I went for the big yellow bun, because I love all breads...though I do love a good rice bowl. I was a little conflicted but I was sold when I heard that the big yellow bun is a unique item here in the States.
Sky had the big platter, but the chef kept bringing out other tempting delights, so we kept eating. Noodles and steak? Yes! Gyoza? (think steamed-seared potstickers...) um, yeah!! Pineapple Teriyaki Chicken bowl? oh yes, bring it on!! It was all delicious.
We tried the cucumber lemongrass flavored water (my fav) and the lychee lemongrass flavored water (Sky's fav) and they were really good. Sweet, but not too sweet. I could see this becoming a favorite special treat for my kids.
we finished it all off with dessert, we went with the vanilla ice cream dipped in chocolate with daffy apple crush topping. It was really, really good. Again, I could see this becoming a big hit with my kids. They also have a kid's menu.
It was really good food, everything was prepared fresh and there are almost limitless ways you can order your entree. The vegetables were all very fresh and tasty. We will definitely be back for more :)
okay, now for the fun part- I have two free entree vouchers to give away for Asiana Grill Yoshinoya. Sadly, so far there are only two locations, one in Fullerton and one in Los Angeles so I know this is going to be a limited giveaway...
so, if you'd like to win two entree vouchers for Asiana Grill Yoshinoya in either Fullerton Ca or Los Angeles, Ca please leave a comment. Please make sure your comment is linkable to you, or put in your email or something so I can contact you if you win. Winner will be chosen by random generator, giveaway ends Wednesday, January 16th.
good luck!
