Possibly...you can help by being pingable! I've 86'd the Pork Bun, I'll use that next year. I've got less that an hour to post the Greek Meatball...First, I'd love you to proofread while I photograph.
Shit..I missed it. I can't find my kalamata olives. DAMMIT! There is no way I can make the deadline now.
Well,the most important sandwich is successfully entered.
Since I have all the stuff (ingredients) now, and the recipes are fresh in my head, I'll keep tweaking (and bouncing them off all of you) for the next few days. When the contest opens next year, I'll be ready to just hit send. (pretty much anyway)
So here's the final entry (too late to change anything now!)
Thanks especially to @ElendilTheTall
And thank you @rumtscho
I feel very optimistic about that recipe. I've made it so many times over the last few days that I know it's solid. I wanted to enter 1 or 2 more, but maybe it's just as well that I didn't.
Here's what almost was, except for the damn olive drama:
Guess what I'm having for dinner! I did the meatballs twice, they're very scented of oregano and lemon. They're nice! Of course I found the damn olives on the way out the door to snap the damn picture.
Of course the important thing in that one is the meatballs. I know now how to make really, really nice meatballs to stuff in a pita! I'll be the first to win two years in a row!
They announce on the 18th of September. I seem to remember from previous years that the finalists go to a thing in Napa Valley (which would be cool, but I don't see a mention of it on the current website)
Funny, I think that's the same day they announce the amount of the PFD.
Hmm...with bread, if you want to make it because it looks special...I'm inclined to find the "real" ingredients. Otherwise you risk losing what made the bread look special to begin with.
In this case, a large portion of the flour is rye. As I've said, that's a strong flavor, not something that can easily be substituted.
My initial reaction to the blog is positive, but I can be of no help choosing between recipes using "alternate" flour. I just don't have any experience to draw upon.
Julia Child is one of those people/things that Americans assume the whole world knows about, when in fact I'd never heard of her until the Meryl Streep film came along

Is this a realistic situation or just something done for effect?

As you know I'm more of the "turn it on and it supposed to work" type, but that even struck ME as ridiculous. Of course that's the same show that gets DNA results faster than a home pregnancy test.
I happen to like that show, but only really the British version. The American version is too much like they've won a game show, the British version is more like, "stop screwing up an you might make it"
She's gone...too bad..I was going to ask if she wanted to do my kitchen next. It's as if some crazy woman was trying trying to beat the clock in here...to hell with mess!
I've looked into "assistance dog" rules. The fact is, if you know what you're doing, you've got any kind of medical anything, and your dog is reasonably well behaved - put a vest on him and you can take him anywhere, restaurants, grocery stores, airplanes, you name it.
If it weren't for the damn stairs leading to the front door, I'd already have one. In this apartment, housebreaking would be a bitch.
That reminds me...I was looking for something else (YouTube is funny that way) and I saw a video of a street performer that was sooo good, I actually cried watching it.Just because it was that good. If you can't watch watch this at work, save it:
Which acid works best to keep avocados from browning?
Answer: None (of the acids tested)
It's not that acid doesn't do much to help.

The world would be such a better place if we all made a point of ingraining a sense of humor in our children. Of course, Robin Williams' legacy may be that isn't always enough. Sorry... a bit morbid there for a sec.
I have been searching and searching online but can't get the answer. Inside cup cakes, without the frosting, you can find some colored sweet pieces of "I am not sure what", but they look like pieces of hardened jelly.
What are they called?
That's bad enough when it's actually a misspelling or a typo, but when it's a correct spelling in a different culture on an international site? I found the edit to be offensive.
and I told him so, but deleted my comment and let the edit stand.
I'm not super familiar with this site, but SO is very American-centric, and its usually intentional, so I wouldn't necessarily call any SE site international
Not that I personally think that we should all love america here, just throwing in my 2 cents (or shillings) from the rest of the network
We may be unusual here, I don't know, but SA is very international and there are often little language miscommunications that we try to work out gracefully.
Best car ever was the 1993 Geo Tracker. You couldn't make that car break down! God I loved that car, until I rolled it. That was its fatal flaw. I'd buy another (same year and model) in a heartbeat.
I have never, before or since, loved a car like I loved that one. I bought it used, paid maybe $1200 for it in 1999. My fondest memory of it was one day when I was riding around with my beloved Border Collie, Ripley.
