Idea for fun! Let's challenge the Cookin' folks to a "recipe-off!"

[Maddy McCall]

Let's come up with our best recipe. Let's make it a main dish--ought to be no problem for us, since we Southerners can make a silk purse from a sow's ear. While we are compiling our recipes, I'll go over to the cooking forum and challenge them to do the same.

We vote on our best recipe here.

They vote on their best recipe there.

Then, tonight or tomorrow, we'll post both--the winning recipe from here and the winning one from the Cooking forum--in the lounge and let everyone there vote on the best.

We have to come up with some sort of prize or concession--like, they must admit that Southerners are the best cooks and no matter the culinary training they undergo, they can never be as great as us. Or we must admit that we don't hold superior authority in matters of epicurian delights, that they are truly the gods of the hearth fire.

How's dat sound?
