Food Fight™ #2 Begins!!!
For those of you that may have missed the first one, "Food Fight™" is a photo and recipe contest. Submit a picture of a dish you've made along with the recipe. Winners get their entry in the "Food Fight™ Hall of Fame" and hopefully the first Desert Island Foods™.com T-Shirt, otherwise it will be a tin of Survival Spice™.
See your recipe in lights!!! Be a home chef superstar!!! Kill a little time and have fun doing it!!!
The Rules, once again:
Imagination, execution and "drool factor" are the primary judging criteria. If your dish is lavish, fine, but a hot dog can still kick your ass if it's done well. I'm not saying the judges are going to favor recipes using Desert Island Foods.com™ products, but it could break a tie.
Photos must be transmitted via email with the subject line "Food Fight submission", should be no larger than about 500 pixels in any dimension and no more than 200K in size. If any of this tech stuff makes you dizzy, submit it anyway you can and I'll convert it for you if you win.
Recipes should be easy to understand and in this format:
1) Title
2) Your degree of difficulty from 1 (easy) to 5 (hard)
3) Approximate prep and cooking times
4) Full list of ingredients in U.S. units
5) Numbered easy to follow preparation steps.
If your dish is somewhat elaborate, which is great, wherever practical try to provide time-saving hints if someone wants to make your dish in a hurry.
Good luck! The contest will end June 2nd, the Thursday after Memorial Day. Let's have some great BBQ pics this time! Make sure to take nice close-ups of your dish, a few of them last time were taken too far away to have any "drool" factor and that hurt you in the scoring.
The lawyers make me post this:
Legal Notice:By posting to "Food Fight™", you retain the rights to your pictures and recipes but grant Desert Island Foods™, LLC. and its present and future affiliates or assigns permission to use, publish and reproduce your pictures, recipes and comments in perpetuity.
Get cooking! And remember, have fun with it. Fun counts...
