This one is for you Butthead. It's been a long time coming but here it is. FIRST DO COOK OFF, SECOND PLACE!

Rob and I did our first DO cook off at West Fest. It was a ton of fun. When we got there it was a little entimidating at how many people were there doing this cook off for the 5,6, or 7th time. WOW! They spoke of how tough the competition is and how they did in the past. Rob and I looked at each other and said, "this is for fun, no expectations." It worked. We did yogurt chicken, french bread and raspberry white chocolate cheesecake.
Things didn't go quite as well as we had hoped. The bread didn't rise well...or at all, we forgot spoons to stir with, we didn't put parchment paper in the bottom of the DO so we could get the cheesecake out, and my knifes were so dull they barely cut. BUT WE HAD FUN.
When it came time to present our food, I was so embaresed I couldn't even look at how great everyone else did, for fear they would ask which was ours.
Last place here we come...BUT WE HAD FUN.
At the time of announcement of I was having such anxiety. But they did the kids division first. YEA for all of them. Then the 1 pot division. Here comes 2 pot...there was only 1 team. Now it's time for 3 pot...that's us. 4th place, third place, "Now can we have the last two teams come up." I ran. I was so excited...one of them was us. Rob just stood there not understanding what was going on. He knew we didn't place. BUT WE HAD FUN!
We stood up there and found out that there were only 3 points seperating 1st and 2nd. We took second place. OMGosh are you serious. The bread tasted great even though it was flat. All the cheesecake was gone and so was the chicken.
IDOS...here we come.


This is the first place winners food.
