While my eyeballs were multi-sensing between third declension noun endings (Latin nerds we are) and cyber Monday deals, I had one hand on the phone and the other swinging between a cold cup of coffee and a hurricane toddler. Check-marking my way through a list of phone calls that had to be made, I finally arrived at the very last one: "Call Sur-la-Table customer service."
Ugh. Customer service. You never know exactly what you're gonna get served, right?
But, people, this is where the awesomeness begins.
With coupon in hand and a free shipping code, I ordered a new food processor...only somewhere in the whole order-pack-ship process, they thought I needed not one, but TWO food processors. So, yesterday I rang 'em up and requested that they send me a shipping slip so that I could return the second item.
Apparently that was just too much hassle for them.
So, they told me I could KEEP IT!!!!!!!!!!
I felt like I had just won the culinary lottery.

The third born suggested that he be allowed to disassemble it and use the parts to reconstruct a robot. That seems complicated. And, dangerous. Blades + electricity = a trip to the ER. Let's stick with Lego's and play dough.
While the boys discussed whey they thought I should do with my bonus machine, I knew exactly what I wanted to do with it, and that's to GIVE IT AWAY TO ONE OF YOU!!!

Oooo.....I would love to win this. I need a food processer. And what I love about holiday cooking is all the sugar and baking and cookies. ;) Not healthy....but delicious!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!! When your name popped up on the Rafflecopter random selection, I was so happy for you! :) Thanks for entering!
DeleteI love making holiday goodies and look forward to having my boys help me this year.
ReplyDeleteI love trying new recipes and having my toddlers "help" lol
ReplyDeleteWhat a great story! Thank you for offering the opportunity here! I love Christmas baking and my parents are joining us for Christmas this year after eight years so I am looking forward to all the baking I will do with my mother.
ReplyDeleteYou're so nice to give your extra one away! I don't have a food processor, so I would be thrilled to win it. But even if I don't, thanks for being so generous!
ReplyDeleteI love holiday baking with my girls! And then giving away goodies that we make.
ReplyDeleteI've just started doing freezer meals for my army of six boys and almost every meal calls for a food processor, do I have one? No I do not! so holiday memories would be much happier for me if I won one. Please, Please Susan, pick me ;)
ReplyDeleteSuper sweet of you! My sister and I are in our new apartment and love love love to cook and have dinner parties and bring people together around the table. Unfortunately, we don't have all the little appliances like this that make so many recipes much more doable, especially with crazy Ministry hours! Thanks for passing it on ... we would be thrilled to win it!
ReplyDeleteAren't you the sweetest ever!! What a fun giveaway Susan!
ReplyDeleteseriously?! Do you love yours?! I LOVE Sur La Table! I've been eyeing these bad boys on ebay. Cheers to endless cooking ;)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your generosity, Susan! We had a food processor when we first got married, but it has loooong since given up the ghost, and we haven't budgeted to replace it. Thank you again! Hope yours helps with your kitchen time. ;)
ReplyDeleteI have a 15 year old Cuisinart food processor. It's still working but it looks like it's been through the war. I guess I'm hard on my appliances! You are so kind to give this one away. The winner will be getting a great food processor!
ReplyDeleteThis is sooo awesome - and so are you! Instead of selling it on ebay or something and making a bundle, you are being extremely generous and giving it away to bless someone. Thanks for being awesome =)
ReplyDeleteI love holiday cooking - especially making new things and sharing them with friends.
May God bless you and yours this Christmas =)
Oh my gosh, customer service for the win! That's a FANTASTIC problem to have. ;) I love cooking with my mom around Christmas - we always spend a Saturday baking approximately 20 types of Christmas cookies/desserts and it is so much fun. :)
ReplyDeleteI love cooking with others in the kitchen over the holidays!
ReplyDeleteI love the family time... just being. It doesn't really matter what we're doing (although a board or card game tops my favorites list). Life is changing so much right now that I'm craving traditions and consistency, especially at holiday time.
ReplyDeletethe joy of cooking with the small boys... ummmm...
ReplyDeleteI love cooking when they're napping and surprising them with goodies when they're awake. :)
Happy Advent. :)
My husband buys me power tools for Christmas. It would be nice to have something I'd actually use for myself. Lol
ReplyDeleteSusan, I've been following your wonderful and inspiring blog for a while and just want to let you know how much I enjoy it. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteMy mini one broke last year so this would be an awesome way to replace it.
ReplyDeleteVery generous! I'm looking on revamping my kitchen plan for the new year!
ReplyDeleteI love cooking special treats for the neighbors during the holidays. My current food process is from the eighties (hand me down from parent's friends years ago) so a functional one with buttons that work (and no need to flip switches with a butter knife) would be lovely.
ReplyDeleteI'm mbmom7 when I logged in - I keep forgetting what email and alias I use!
Oh how fun! And generous! I could definitely use this...I'm using one I got at a garage sale years ago and it does the job, but barely. : )
ReplyDeleteThis would be perfect for my whole30 journey in January! ;)
ReplyDeleteHow lucky are you!?! And as lucky as you are, you are 10 times sweeter to offer it as a prize. I have never done raffle copter before, so I have no idea if I did it properly.
ReplyDeleteI have a cheap, tiny processor that I got as a wedding gift, I think. A bigger, better one would be lovely!
What I love most about holiday cooking: eating it. Does that count?
ReplyDeleteReally another thing that I love is watching my girls make sugar cookies with their grandmother every year. It's such a mess but they so look forward to it.
I would love this! Getting ready to do a bunch of freezer meals, and it would be much faster to use a food processor!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE trying new recipes! I'm not so sure the rest of the family is on board with it, but I am! I also do the holiday theme thing to over kill status. Example: pumpkin pie, pumpkin bread, pumpkin chili, pumpkin pancakes, pumpkin oatmeal... :-) Just to make sure I enjoy it to the max.
ReplyDeleteI've wanted a food processor since we first got married! Crossed fingers. You're the sweetest, Susan!
ReplyDeleteThat's so awesome! And so nice of you to pay it forward. Holiday cooking is the best because we get to enjoy favorites year after year.
ReplyDeleteI love cooking with family and sitting around all cozy in pajamas and catching up.
ReplyDeleteI love trying new recipes and making traditional favorites, but mostly I love eating!
ReplyDeleteI love all the cookies and candies that are made at holiday time. Even more so, I love eating all the cookies and candies!
ReplyDeleteI love all the cookies and candies that are made at holiday time. Even more so, I love eating all the cookies and candies!
ReplyDeleteI love making memories with my littles in the kitchen. They delight so much in the process it helps me to slow down and not worry about the mess.
ReplyDeleteI love new recipes!
ReplyDeleteWhat a crazy customer service experience! I love/miss all of the girls cooking together for the holidays. It has been maybe 7 years since we were all able to be together. Hoping we will again.
ReplyDeleteI always love making my mother's homemade cherry chocolates and fudge because it reminds me of the past and more simple times of Christmas.
ReplyDeleteMy husband makes a delicious Slovenian sweet bread for Christmas, and it's fun to try out new recipes!
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful! A husband who bakes! :) Thanks for entering!
DeleteWould love to win this and use during this Christmas season.
ReplyDeleteHonestly, the best thing I like about holiday cooking, is the eating, when all the preparation is OVER!
ReplyDeleteThis would be amazing for anyone to win!! What a blessing!! Holiday cooking would be so much easier!!
ReplyDeletePatsy
I love cooking with my mom -- it reminds me of childhood!
ReplyDeleteI like trying new baked goods and desserts. My favorite has been cinnamon ice cream :)
ReplyDeleteCinnamon ice cream is a big-time favorite around here! We love to roll up scoops of it in toasted coconut and serve it in a puddle of homemade chocolate syrup. So delicious!
DeleteI'd love a new food processor!
ReplyDeleteI love cooking Christmas cookies with the kids and having lots of yummy things to eat after Christmas!
ReplyDeleteWow, that is pretty amazing customer service!! Good to know!! I love cooking with my mom during the holidays and I'm always trying new recipes. There are very few repeats every year!
ReplyDeleteI love gathering my kids around the bar and watching them choose what goodies they want to make then teaching them how to make them, this way they can carry on the recipes and the traditions with their kids!
ReplyDeleteOk, now I figured this thing out. :-) I love to cook for the holidays for the traditions, the memories, and trying new recipes! I'd love to win the food processor. My old, old one has seen better days. Tell Steve happy birthday!
