tigress has a brand new facebook page! (plus bribes!)

let me start this off by saying that this is rather embarrassing. some of you may remember about a year ago, when i changed my facebook page the first time.

but i figure we've known each other long enough,

i can be vulnerable.

look, i luv facebook as much as the next cat. (maybe even more, i've watched the social network 3 times!) but i've had a few issues with it - or it with me.

first, it seems that tigress is a 4 letter word - or was. whenever i tried to use it on its own facebook would say - NOT. which is why i had to come up with a couple of weird acronyms over the last year and a half.

that part is all better now - i don't know why, but i ain't asking any questions. but, unlike twitter, you can't just change the name of your page, you have to re-invite everyone to LIKE you.

ahem.

now you may ask yourself why, since my page is going strong - a nice little hang out for those of like mind and taste - would i go through all this trouble?

to that, i give you this:



as some of you may have noticed over the past few months i've changed my twitter handle to @hungry_tigress, along with my email to hungrytigress(at)me(dot)com. all of this in anticipation of a big move to WordPress and the redesigns of tigress in a jam and tigress in a pickle, both of which will be housed within the URL www.hungrytigress.com (coming soon).

so as you can imagine not having my facebook page in line with all that, well...

it's killing me.

(i promise, i'm working on it).

lo and behold, just when i thought i might have to give up and live with this thorn in my paw, the mighty facebook bestowed upon me a page with the name of hungry tigress (with caps, but i'll take it, son!)

wait, there's more!

to make up for the fact that i'm asking you to LIKE me here, and forgettabout the old one, i've got two amazing books i'm gonna give away:



















the first, home dairy with ashley english is a gem of a book in a gem of a series. if you've ever thought about dabbling in dairy, do it with ashley. i love her entire homemade living series because they are perfect for beginner and seasoned preserver, alike.

the second, DIY delicious has been my go to book for weeks now. it's full of from-scratch recipes, that make you feel like a pilgrim without the pilgrim hours, get it? lots of good and delicious food in this book!

so here's the winning deal: as of this writing i have 550 'likes' on my old facebook page. once i get 550 likes on my new facebook page, hungry tigress. i will use that trusty random number generator to choose two lucky winners out of the 550 likes.

shameless, i know.

now giddy up over here and click LIKE for a chance to win!

  2. Re-organizing is always such a pain but so nice in the long run! I like that both in a jam and in a pickle will be together, pretty cool. And I am #70 :)
