Yes, I mean you. So I need a little help.
"A little help from US," You say. "After you've all but ignored us in favor of that *other* blog...humph. The nerve!"
I know, I know. But this could be BIG. And you might get something out of it too...
"Well...if there is something in it for US...whaddaya want?"
So you know that *other* blog... The food one?
"Ugh...yes. What about it?"
So I wrote this recipe, for a pretty incredible chocolate hazelnut torte. I mean, incredible! Simultaneously rich and airy, and completely flourless although nobody believes it when they try it. I mean...it's like PERFECT. Anyway, I wrote this recipe and posted about it, and next thing you know, someone nominated it for a prize!
A chocolatey prize. A trip, to a chocolate festival, in Napa...where I get to drink wine and taste chocolate and spend the entire day doing decadent chocalatey things...How great is that?!
"Pretty great, but what's it have to do with us?"
Well...you could come too. Maybe. Wouldn't that be nice?
"Hmmm...keep talking..."
Well this contest that I told you about. It's run by this website called Culinate, and for me to win, I first have to be voted into the top ten by my blog readers. (That's you). The cool thing is, just by entering and voting, you automatically get two chances to win TOO. See, they're not just sending a blogger. They're sendinga blogger AND a reader. And you can bring a date! So you and your date and me and my date and we all get to eat chocolate and drink wine and roam around Napa for three days and two nights on someone else's dime. Are you up for it?
"Maaaybe...what do I have to do?"
It's easy! You just click on this link and register. It takes two minutes. Then vote for my blog (Always Order Dessert). And that's it.
Then cross your fingers... If you want to help more, you can tell all your friend and their friends and your hairdresser and that cute guy across the hall that you've been trying get the courage to talk to. Him too. Tell him, and if you're lucky, maybe he can be your date.
Are you in?
"No promises...but why don't you give me that link again?"
OK, it's: http://www.culinate.com/chocolate/standings?blogURL=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.alwaysorderdessert.com%2F Or just click on this:

Bloggers can get dates??
Going to vote now... if they let Canadians vote.
Alejandra, I would surely vote for you and your recipe, but alas, before I saw your plea, I had already voted for ANOTHER food blog--one that I actually think you might like, called www.noteatingoutinny.com
Good luck, though!
Hi AP!
Actually, you're allowed to vote for more than one blogger! So if you'd like to, I think you can still toss a vote my way too. Either way, thanks for reading. And I love her blog too--she's great!
Thanks for the good wishes! Fingers crossed! :)
i tried to vote for you but it said the contest was closed!!
:(
i'm sure they'll be others!!
Sorry I can't help chica :( Being in Europe can be a pain, sometimes...
I have to say, I love the new blog, though...I'm gonna make a point of checking out some of the recipes, too :)
