Update: And the winner, as chosen by Random.org, is Marcela! I'll email you soon.
Yes, we realize an adorable beach tote has very little to do with cooking or eating (unless you stuff it with chips, bread, hummus, and a refreshing bottle of wine). But it is summery and our friends at Simply Bags offered one to a Half Assed Kitchen reader. You choose the color and monogram (12 characters max.). To enter, just leave a comment on this post before Sunday, July 4th at 9 pm Pacific Time. We'll randomly select one comment and will email the winner. We'll also try to remember to announce the winner here, but we're bad about that.
Good luck!
So, do you deliver that awesome garlic steak salad??????????

The bags are great. The red stripe with Jan monogrammed on it would be spectacular!!

I like the tone of the lighter red bag. I also like the lighter tone of the blog.

Steak and mushrooms. Yum. Couldn't make this salad better unless you added goat cheese...which I think I will do! Red or baby blue with April on it!

I LOVE half-assed kitchen! I'm a true-blue Seattle girl, who moved to LA 4 years ago- I miss Seattle so much! Reading your blogs reminds me so much of home, so thank you! That darker blue bag is fantastic as well- I love the almost nautical theme within it!
