I can be Bossy too!

Bossy too? - most people who know me would tell you I invented the word.......
I can't defend my bossyness - What can I say? I am a control freak - Phew, never been to AA, but maybe just admitting it is terribly good for one?

Anyhow - my little grey cells were thinking what to blog next....and inspired by The Mom Bomb's lovely pussy
(that made your ears prick up) awarding me a lovely prezzie, and by Mrs G sharing her fun time with Bossy...the grey cells formulated a plan!

I haven't got time for a road trip....but how is this for an idea?

We have a little competition to find an initial winner of my favourite recipe book....



The Question is: Which area of Italy is filled with Trulli and Olive groves?

I'll send the book to the winner, who then cooks ones of the recipes, blogs about it, and sends it on to another foodie blogger, who repeats this amusement....and so on, and so on, it goes on - with the idea being that the book eventually wends it way back across the pond, complete with lots of comments within written  by all you glorious gals out there in Blogland - 
I selfishly end up with something really very special, and we all might learn some delicious new recipes on the way.
We could then repeat again, with someone else starting and ending the process.

I could just be being really Bossy.....but I'm hoping instead you'll think this is fun! :-)

What do you think?

What a great idea! I have this book (Mr. G. is eye-talian to the core), so I can't throw my hat into the ring. But it is such a good one! Way to send some good rosemary and olive oil infused karma into the world.

I love the idea. I love to cook. (I cooked for Bossy. She wants my chocolate cake recipe badly).

If googling is out disqualify me, if not--Puglia.

Aren't we all bossy? And don't we all google? Puglia, and I'll throw in one more detail: the heel of the boot.

Love this idea! Have no idea on the answer, but dream of Italy....

puglia, southern italy? how'd i do!?!

Bunny Bunster said...

I too dream of Italy, but have zero clue on the answer.
This is a great idea, and I may steal it, I mean SHARE it with my readers. I think I'll do it with a local cookbook from my church.

Melissa said...

Cool! I have no clue on the answer, however. I wish I did.

I didn't know this either till I googled it - Puglia! I never made it right down south in all my time in Italy so had never even heard of the Trulli.
I think the postage to South Africa would be exorbitant, so I'll just see if I can beg steal or borrow a copy over here. My Italian food guru is still Marcella Hazan but I'd like to read this one too.

Puglia it is, Alberobello has a nice farm there for rent. What a great idea? Let us know where it goes and who gets it~
