So today is a bit of a fail. I’m supposed to be on a flight right now, but canceled due to some stomach issues. I thought it may have been food poisoning but everyone I ate dinner with is fine. We’ll see how the rest of the day pans out.
Phil is fine, but silly…
All Vegas’ hard work helping me pack was a waste. Boo 
But today isn’t a loss for you because I have a fun giveaway!
Since I had friends over for the first time in my life I wanted to be all fancy and stuff so they’d want to come back. I set out a spread for Happy Hour last night on my new California cutting board.
Epicurean makes cutting boards in the shape of all 50 states. They sent me CA because they know how much I have California Love. It’s kind of small for a cutting board, but perfect for appetizers or a cheese plate like this. They are also made in the US and eco-friendly since they’re made with excess skate part materials.
I am born and raised SoCal and LOVE it. See, I even drew a pic of me on the area where I am from… I should have put an olive there for Olivas.
I would have made a better drawing but I’m too busy…
GIVEAWAY! The company is giving one RER reader a state cutting board. Open to US residents. Closes 6/26/14 at 12pm PST.
To enter leave a comment on this post with your state.
