Texas Caviar Recipe (and the Giveaway Winner too!)

Our daughter Kaitlyn was here for a family dinner on Sunday.  She is a really great cook and brought along a dish for her vegetarian sister Alina, who was home for an all too brief visit.  She said it is called Texas Caviar and she served it with tortilla chips. Everyone loved it!  It would even be good for those of you who are on gluten free diets if you use lentil chips or gluten free tortilla chips.   

Here is her recipe and the picture, taken with her iPhone, which turns out a surprisingly great photo:

We had quite a great turnout for the Kaffe Fassett Log Cabin Quilt Kit giveaway here last week!

That is all because Cynthia of "Quilting is More Fun Than Housework" started a new Orphan Adoption Linky Party for adopting out your languishing orphan projects.  She says that 12 projects changed hands to be given new life, most of which will be used for charities. Isn't that wonderful?  Cyndy is going to hold this party again, so keep an eye on her blog, scout your oldies but goodies, and prepare to join in the fun this Autumn!

I could not be more moved and inspired than I am by all the wonderful commenters who entered the drawing here on BuzzinBumble.  So many generous and caring people shared the charities they quilt for.  It just leaves me in utter awe of the good that they do for others!  I am so pleased to have been able to pass on a project that left me feeling Guilty instead of Quilty.  Now whenever I think about it I will be filled with gladness instead.   
So thank you!  I wish I could send something to every one of you.  

Instead I relied on Mr. Random Generator to pick a winner, a task that would have been impossible otherwise:


The winner is...
Commenter #27, Lauren Deel, whose wonderful website is Charlotte's gRace for a Cure

These are gorgeous blocks! And the Log Cabin is on my quilting bucket list in short order. :) A few years ago, I started a little charity group doing a quilt auction every spring to benefit brain tumor research. (My daughter has been living with a brain tumor for the past 4.5 years.) I didn't do the auction this spring, but hope to do it again next year. Thanks for the giveaway!

Congratulations Lauren!  I'll be in touch by email.   

And thank you all for visiting, because...

    1. Hi Lynn! Thanks!
      I'm answering you here, because others might want to know the same thing.
      Shoestring Corn is a canned corn, with very sweet baby corn type kernels. You could probably also substitute fresh or frozen baby corn.

  7. That's the kind of recipe I love. Especially for lunch. It must be delicious with the apple cider vinegar. I use it in many dishes but never thought of adding it to salad/salsa.
    This caviar looks like a salad or a salsa... so I pinned it in my Salad Board. Thank you! And I wish you a delicious weekend!

  15. Great cause; yay for Lauren and the monies it will raise for brain tumours. Thanks for the delicious-looking recipe; we have a schwack of peppers in the fridge at this moment and I can easily grab a jalapeno and a red onion, and make this! "feeling guilty instead of quilty" snort, you have the best phrases, my friend.
