Up for grabs: Tauer Perfumes Cologne du Maghreb

Tauer Perfumes Cologne du Maghreb

What is it: I have two 50 ml bottles of Tauer Perfumes Cologne du Maghreb. One is untouched; the other was used to make several large samples and is about 90% full. The first winner will get the brand new bottle, the second winner will get the nearly full bottle.

How do I get it: For a chance to win, leave a comment telling me that you live in the US. Also, please tell us about your favorite winter holiday food.

Be sure to use the “Post a comment” box; do not reply to another comment! All replies to comments will be deleted!

The contest will be open until noon or so on Thursday Friday, and I’ll announce the winner on Friday Saturday.

A special note: I have no way to check the entries, but it would be really nice if those of you who already won something in the 2011 Tauer Advent contest sat this one out and gave other people a chance!

The fine print: Don’t enter the contest unless I have permission to use the email address in your reader account to contact you. If the email address in your reader account is incorrect, you might want to fix it. If you are the winner and you fail to send me your mailing details within a couple weeks, I’ll give your prize away to someone else. Sadly, it sometimes usually takes me a month to mail a package. Reasonable care will be taken in the packaging and mailing of your prize, but if the contents are lost or damaged or fail to please you for any reason whatsoever, I’m sorry but I cannot replace them.

    I live in the United States.

    My favorite winter food would be something festive, like homemade cranberry relish. Having a tart fruit is a nice foil to all of the comforting, heavy foods.

    Favorite winter holiday food? So hard to limit it to just one! I love holiday meals with all the smells–roast turkey and apple pie, hot cider and butter cookies! Ah geez, now I think I need to go make some mashed potatoes and turkey gravy. . . :)

And sweet potato casserole with marshmallow topping. And assorted Christmas cookies and mini pumpkin cakes with spiced cream cheese frosting.

I also tried Marzipan Stollen for the first time this year and I was mightily impressed – it may get added to my favorites list. ;-)

    I’m in the US, and of course you can use my address.

    I’m not a big holiday person, but my favorite winter meal is spice-glazed roast root vegetables (equal parts chestnut (when I can get it) honey and maple syrup) and a beef and rice recipe I adapted from my great grandmother’s chicken and rice recipe (wasn’t heavy enough for my freezing cold apartment.)

    I find as I’m getting older I’m losing both my sweet tooth and er…salt tooth, but those two dishes must balance each other out somewhat…

    …hm. I see a trip to the grocery store in my future…

    Hi
    My name is Sarah Beth Norris and I don’t remember giving this information to any of your fields but it’s : dolcemama@live.com.
    I DO happily live in the US! I LIVE in lovelyTucson, AZ. We moved here from St. PeteBeach via home Alabama. Southern belle? Yes, with my niche brands and artistic pieces with food. I love to cook and have perfected many recipes that have won prizes at fairs and county fairs. Many…but everyone usually has the grand fare, turkey and some kind of stuffing made with sage and onions and celery. Oh yummy. We serve it as a casserole in South or “we” do. I learned to cook during my first pregnancy. I was very ill and had broken many bones in an attack that’s how I found out I was pregnant. The attacker was the father. Adios after a few more times. When I told him I was pregnant everything had been ordered and paid for in March I was three months. I had a choice to make. I looked up adoption and abortion pages came right before that and I knew I couldnt do either one. So I just sat there and wondered why I was so sick all the time. None of my family until I delivered would talk to me thank you God for Nana & Popa! Nana took care of me. Nan and I got a cranberry and orange scone recipe. We carried them to friends and they loved them. The way the sugar caramelized the cranberry. I loved perfume but from a young age I would put too much on I still do. So anyway after 14 years we took our orange and cranberr version and made a cranberry sauce. I can’t tell a story like I used versions until perfecting it last year
    If you want the recipe let me know etc. it’s won 2 prizes at fairs.

    Hi Robin and everyone. I hope everyone’s having a lovely holiday season. I live in the US and would love to be entered for this, and you have permission to use the email attached to my account.

    If I had to choose only one winter food love, I think my latest fave dish is a simple comfort food. It is a loaded potato soup prepared in the slow cooker, and while we don’t eat it too often because it is full of loaded baked potato goodness, it is absolutely fantastic, even reheated the next day. Yum. :)

    My winter fragrance sweet tooth is beside itself after receiving both my now second bottle of SDV and a bottle of Angel Taste of Fragrance in the same week. The latter was a gift from Mr. Absolute Scentualist after taking a peek about the newest Angel flanker here and noting a comment I left and it is just fantastic, especially those cocoa-licious top notes! I was impressed with his gift research as well. :)

    A bright and citrus-filled cologne would be great this time of year, though admittedly winter is taking its time so far this season. We actually had a green Christmas for the first time in years.

    Happy New Year, everyone!

    Hi, I live in the US and you have permission to use my e-mail address. My favorite winter holiday food is something my mother made that we called “Roll-em-Ups”, but I believe the proper term is Beef Rouladen. That and those cookies that had a ton of butter in them. The ones you rolled out, cut with cookie cutters and iced. I didn’t win anything in Andy’s Advent Calendar, but had a great time reading the posts each day. Thanks for the draw.

    I live in the US, in Los Angeles.

    My favorite holiday dish is our once a year Lasagna Extravaganza. The family recipe calls for whole milk mozz, eggplant sautee’d in cheese and parsley and meat balls instead of the more standard ricotta version. The meat sauce holding this baby together has six types of meat cooked into it. This one is a true three day labor of love…and I just may need to go have a bit more!

    My favorite holiday food, even more than dearly beloved turkey and dressing, is the little cookies my Mom used to bake called Parisiennes. Never have seen or heard of them anywhere else but believe the recipe came from some women’s mag in the ’60s: dark chocolate/pistachio/meringue delights. I live in the U.S… Happy New Year, everyone!

    I love pumpkin pie. Actually, I love pumpkin. It can be in soup, muffin, pie, cheesecake, eggnog, and I love it. My birthday falls this time of year, and I usually ask for Mom’s pumpkin pie. I like it better than any birthday cake. May all your favorite holiday foods bring you comfort and joy. Be well.

    I don’t celebrate the holidays, so I’m afraid I have no knowledge of delicious homemade holiday food. As such, I think my favorite holiday edition food is the chocolate peppermint bark from Ghiradelli.

  149. NinaraPoll
    Posted on 28 December 2011

    I live in the USA. My favorite food depends on if I’m celebrating the holidays here in the US or in Mexico with relatives. If here in the US, it’s my mom’s turkey and sides and pumpkin pie, hands down. If in Mexico… well, there’s the ham, the tamales, the bacalao, the paella, I really can’t choose just one!

    My favorite holiday food is the sugar cookies I make with my 8 year old niece. We make a very sturdy dough that will put up with whatever an 8 yr old can do to it, then shape or roll out cookies and decorate them. They look better than they taste, but she is proud of them!

    I (mostly) happily live in the rust belt of the USA.

    Favorite winter food: Thai curry coconut-milk thing that has become a Christmas classic. I still reek of it and it’s been two full days since first served. Probably as much a reflection of my holiday bathing habits as the intensity of the food.

  166. Posted on 28 December 2011

    I live in the US and oddly enough, appetizers are my favorite holiday food – lots of veggies and dip and nachos with guacamole and salsa. And gotta have a box of See’s chocolates.

    Two of my favorite holiday foods are favorites because they are traditions in my family. The first are my nonna’s pignoli cookies, which she made every Christmas when I was a young child. The second is baklava, which my mother and I learned to make from our Greek neighbor when I was a teenager. I make both of these things each year and give them to my favorite people to keep the traditions going.

    Happy New Year to all!

    I live in the U.S. My favorite holiday food is cheesecake. It’s a holiday food because I had not made one in years, and it was almost Christmas. Considering how much we enjoyed it, it will soon cease being a holiday food (and my thighs will pay the price).

    Posted on 29 December 2011

    I live in the United States. Favorite holiday food? My boyfriend’s sister makes a wonderful pumpkin bread that is moist and the perfect mix of sweet, savory and spicy. Great out of the oven, also great room temp, and delicious toasted for breakfast! I’ve eaten far too much of it this holiday. ;)
