	   |  Food Contest - Final Day - Could Use your Votes  
 
			
			Hiya guys, 
You might have clued in that I'm a bit obsessed about food.  
Was hoping to ask for a favor from you guys to help me out with a contest. 
Normally I wouldn't ask here, but I was winning the contest, then somebody came from behind out of nowhere to take the lead. 
We're down to the last 24 hours, I need a strong push to claim top spot again.   
Would you please sign up for this contest using the link below? 
If I can get the most sign-ups, I can win a Thermapen and The Food Lab book.  
Both are things that would help me a lot on my food journey. 
Been drooling over the Thermapen for a couple years now. 
And The Food Lab is where I've been learning food theory and science.   
Please and Thank you!!    http://s.heyo.com/b27da5?ref=19uzy4y 
Alternate link, in case the top one doesn't work. https://www.facebook.com/Thermapen/?...%2219uzy4y%22} 
If you guys could help me out, it would be most appreciated. 
It'll help me with my continued contributions here for sure.  
thank you, thank you!     
p.s. 
Moderators, I hope this is ok? 
I sent a PM to the food mod, but have yet to receive a response.

I added a direct link instead of the redirect. 
I think it should still register.

Purchase is a possibility, 
But trying to prioritize towards home and kitchen renos.

GL |  there's an idea! culverin should have a food truck/stand at the spring meet next year    
or there could be a food tent and all our resident chefs/restaurant owners (looking at you aznsir) should bring a bunch of treats to sell/share    |   |   |   |      |  11-01-2015, 07:56 AM | #17 |   | Waxin’ Punks

Probably need some sort of licensing and commercial kitchen to stage out of? 
hahaha

 |  Thank you, that means a lot to me. 
It's been 2.5 years since we played. 
When you've got free time, we need another play date.  
The guys keep bugging me to make sure it happens again.

			Time sure flies by. I'd say my cooking in the last 2 years has come further in terms of polish that it had in the prior 8 I've spent in a kitchen. That said, its not very often I pick up a knife on my day off. One of these days we will make it happen. I've got access to a lot of awesome products from a lot of great suppliers.

My knives skills are better. 
I'm more confident, better theory. 
My timing is still rubbish though.  
Can't wait until that day.    |   |   |   |      |  11-01-2015, 11:39 PM | #23 |   | I only answer to my username, my real name is Irrelevant!

The lead guy was at 100 last I checked.  
Thanks for trying guys. 
Much appreciated.      Quote:   |

I'm not qualified to have people "staging" for me. 
But yeah, industry pros are welcome to come over and play. 
A chance to relax and get creative for you, and a bit of advice and training for me.
