BAM! That's right, folks, it's time for a cooking contest! The food doesn't matter but whatever you do is all about presentation as we can't taste it. So make yourself a great dessert or a main course. Show a whole meal or a single dish. Doesn't matter. Multiple entries are allowed.

You may ask why I'm doing this so early. Mainly because I feel it'll take a little while to figure out what you want to cook, etc. This is one that will take a bit of preparation. Contest will end at the end of August and the winner gets their very own (preordered) copy of Civilization V!!

Make me hungry, folks!

Gah! I just made and ate a batch of honey BBQ wings before I saw this! I would have taken pictures if I knew.

A second course may be in order...

I don't cook much, so trying my hand at this should be interesting, to say the least.

Who's gonna be the first person dishonorable enough to take a picture of a store-bought or restaurant-bought dish?

Not it!

Cool! In about 2 weeks I'm making a dinosaur cake with meringue bones for my son's 5th birthday party. Hopefully it'll turn out nice enough for pics here.

Stand and deliver, bitches! Up for grabs today is an all America meal. Terrorists, commies and the French need not apply.


BAM!

Coming at you like a patriot missile we have a quarter pound, all america beef patty between two buns of toasted freedom. What could possibly top this behemoth of a burger? Store brand ketchup, mustard and a dash of mayo because GOD DAMNIT YOU EARNED IT.

Served with our quarter pound of freedom is a side of lemon flavored potato chips to each down your throat and touch you in your naughty bits AND YOU'LL THANK IT!

What's that? You can't eat this gift from baby jesus all on it's own? you need something to wash it down? Well put a book over your crotch 'cause you're going to need to hide something when you take a look at this



Is that a jar full of mother fucking soda? I think that's a jar full of mother fucking soda.


Well halle-fucking-lula seems like you got the perfect meal to kick your day off there, petunia. But what ever happened to dinner and a show?



BAM! Madmen and Porn at the same time. enjoy that laptop on a table made of cinder blocks and a piece of wood.

So get on your knees and give thanks to Uncle Sam the only way you know how, peckerwood. It may be the 14th of July but it's never too late to celebrate your freedom by dropping a bomb on your stomach and liberating it from the boring ass fru-fru cakes you thought about eating.

Fuckin' A!

Dude, I have competition. I was looking at Chibi's cupcakes with envy. And i think I saw some delicious stuff from wahad over in the dinner thread. You ain't no slouch yourself ;)

But yeah, I'm definitely stepping up my A game on this one. I don't have a chance in most contests here. This is one I can really get into.

I will try to make some fancy dessert this weekend and maybe cook some of my famous stew!

I have a fantastic idea (as Seej is aware) but I'm not much of a cook. So I'll have to win on creativity alone. :)

cool :) I have been itching to make my first entry, but I was waiting in fear that I might get disqualified if I posted before August :)

New submission! :)

Barbecue glazed country style ribs and grilled squash with a baby spring salad in a crisp Parmesan bowl.





Country style ribs aren't really a rib...they usually come from the pork shoulder. They're big and meaty, and require special cooking to keep from being tough. So, I slow-cooked them first to get them melt-in-your-mouth tender, and then finished them on the grill to give them that awesome crispy grilled taste and texture on the outside. I topped them with hickory smoked barbecue sauce after the first turning to give the sauce a chance to glaze on top. The bowl for the salad is completely edible, made entirely of Parmesan cheese, and both the entree and salad are matched with a duo of grilled summer squash and zucchini.

Fancier isn't always better.

Catfish Fillets hand-battered with a mixture of corn meal, garlic and onion powders, salt and pepper. Spring salad and fresh-shucked white-and-yellow corn on the cob on the side.

nothing fancy lately. The AC has been on the fritz, and the house has been between 80 and 90 degrees, so I've been making quick meals as opposed to fancy feasts. :( Hopefully, they'll still look appetizing, even if they don't look fancy.


Chicken fajitas. Calli wanted me to buy the pre-marinated stuff, but they didn't have it at Kroger, so I bought chicken thighs and made it from scratch. The peppers are a blend of bell pepper, grilled onion, and serrano peppers.


Hoisin glazed chicken, with arbol peppers. Served with dill sprinkled skillet potatoes and hand-made cole slaw.

Tonight we had frito pies. I didn't think it would be a worthy addition to the contest ;)

Ooooo...what's Sin making?



Okay. So we have some white cake mix. Cool.



Wait, what? What the hell? Why would a person do that?



Is that colored gels?



Oh! That's pretty! Like a cake mix rainbow!



Oh wow....



OH WOW! Did I drop LSD or something? Wicked!


WHAT?! No pics of what is look like frosted and cut up?!

FUCK YOU SIN!
