So, instead of using the normal random number generator generously provided by my psychic friends, I decided to choose the winner of the Artisan Steak Tasting Package a little differently. Cuz, I guess there’s nothing random about having a psychic pick a number…there’s no randomness when the psychic is three steps ahead and knows who has already won.
And really. Psychics are pretty fishy folks to begin with. That mysterious crystal ball? What you don’t know is that it’s plugged in directly to Google and Wikipedia.
Instead, to solicit my Twitter friends for help. Yesterday, I tweeted “QUICK! Give me a number between 1 and 475″
and within 15 seconds, I got a reply back from Matt (mmWine on Twitter) who is a “wine loving cigar smoking Mac using geek.” Love him.
Here was his answer:
Just so you know, comments on my site are NOT numbered, so it’s not like Matt went to the site and then chose who he wanted to win!
So who is the lucky winner of Oliver Ranch Company’s Artisan Steak Tasting Package?

What a lucky winner! Love your new method of choosing #’s!
Congrats to Betty and thanks, Jaden for a great contest.
Speaking of contests – who won the Whole Foods budget dinner contest?
bummer! I was all set to host my steak tasting party. I even had the wine picked out. So much for positive thinking!
Congratulations to Betty!
BIG BUMMER
Oh well not my week! However A BIG CONGRATS TO BETTY! Now am I invited? where do you live? haha… JK…. Thanks Jaden always a pleasure 
Jayden, how about preparing some bison? It’s much healthier and richer tasing than beef ~ very mild and not gamey at all. Last spring I bought half of a front quarter of some of the finest bison in the country and it’s delicious…!
oh man! I never win anything! story of my life. well, congrats to Betty!
Your blog is super. So are your photographies. They make me hungry. I have spent a nice moment when seeing them. Thanks a lot.
Congrats to the winner! Wish it was me, oh well… maybe next time!
Thanks for hosting such a great drawing. You can’t get much better than a steak giveaway! By the way, I am trying out the beef and broccoli recipe this week…I can’t wait!
Rats! Oh well, congratulations, Betty! Please log on after you have tasted them and let us know your fave!
Congrats Betty! Will come in handy with the holidays coming up!
Thanks for the post on my blog! I wanted to tell you that I really love your blog: the recipes are great and the photography is fantastic. But what I love even more is that you are a fellow Florida blogger! It seems like Florida is a little lacking in the good blogs department, at least compared to the northeast and west coast. So thanks for helping represent!
Congrats to Betty! She is one friggin lucky ducky to get the beef!!
Jaden,
THANK YOU SOOOOOOO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!! My steak knives are getting sharpened!!
Thanks
[sniffle] Where’s the beef? [sob]
