I am on it...and btw I follow your blog, so I will see this stuff, so you do not have to go to my foodbuzz site...save you some typing! lol
ReplyDeleteWhat are the parameters? Sweets? Romantic? Recipes for two?
ReplyDeleteParameters...related to Valentine's, for some that is chocolate, for others it is steak...others...use your imagination! It should represent what Valentine's means to you, whether that be you and your lover or dessert for your coworkers. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteIndeed, I decided to enter something as well. Funny out of all my recipes, this is the most basic. Check out Life by Chocolate and enjoy the apple pie recipe. Look for Apple Pie Articulated. What better for Valentine's Day than apple pie? Well, chocolate. I have that covered as well at Life by Chocolate. I just don't give out those recipes. Sorry. ;-) However, Apple Pie to me is from the heart and that is what love is about. Especially if you pick the apple yourself as I did in this case.

I have never taken part in any food contest. My grandmother went to the finals of the bake-off(Pilsbury) once. She loved to play with food. She never won, but of course I think she should have!
