Happy Monday, Faux Pasta followers. Over the weekend we excitedly welcomed our 5000th follower, something we credit entirely to you and the Tumblr community. We haven’t been doing any other sort of 5Ks in our lives. We’re literally new in town. You know what it’s like. Thanks so much for sticking along with us through our sister-separation-induced food fests. It’s been fun so far, and we hope to bring you more recipes in the next coming months as Paulina gets settled in her new kitchen in NY and as Nellie starts actually measuring ingredients again.

In the meantime, we’d like to thank you for reading.  You know what this means. You get a cookie. I’m serious, I work in marketing. You don’t joke about geeeve-a-ways in marketing unless you want a PR issue on your hands.

Nellie is going to bake some treats for two lucky Faux Pasta readers. Here’s the deal: 1) you’re a Faux Pasta follower 4 ever, no ship-jumping, not even if you’re on a boat and a cutie with a 3-pack and a scruffy, gosh-darn-it smile tells you to just jump in and live your life. 2) you live in the continental United States. I’m sorry, Malaysian followers.

To enter, go to: fauxpasta.tumblr.com/ask/ and tell us about something you want to see tested and blogged about. We’ll choose 2 ideas/recipes total and link back to your blog when we write it up. One entry per person. 

Those two winners will receive an expedited package from California.

You can start entering now through November 15th, 2011.
