Well, as the old expression goes: You can make some of the people happy all the of the time, and you can make all of the people happy some of the time, but you can't declare someone you're roomates with the loser of a blog contest. That being said, I recieved an e-mail earlier today from my brother (and 4th place winner in the "To Do List" contest). It reads (very bitterly I might add):

A few thoughts on the contest submissions:

1) Carla: Charlie Trotters? here are some of the goofy things on there current menu:
- Salad of Poularde with Fennel
- Whole Roasted Squab with Rutabaga
- Crepe of Explorateur with Red Wine Stewed Medjool Dates & Pecans
- Steamed Halibut with Braised Pig's Tail
- Nino Banana, Mamey Sapote, Feijoa, White Sapote & Tamarind Sorbets with Lycees
- A Study in Honey: Napoleon of Apricots

2) Pat:
- Authors with the initials EF don't suck! Check out Edward Morgan Forster. He wrote Howard's End, A Room with a View, Maurice, and a bunch of other stuff http://emforster.de

3) Angela: Mafia Princess is currently in production. It is based on the life story of Tami Monnsroe, I think. The production company can be found at http://www.dnightingale.com/index.html

I'm telling you, it's like Florida in November over here! Chads are swinging and dangling this way and that! Now of course, an angry loser does not a contest revision make, but...the final say on the "To Do List" contest will be announced tomorrow, fresh on the heels of this new development. ...More news as it happens.
