Our Anniversary!

If you've been reading this since when I started it, you may remember our first annual Anniversary Cook Off.  If not, go back and remind yourself!

Basically, we do an Iron Chef style cook off every year.  The above link was from our first year.  Today is our third year!  But we aren't doing the cook off until this weekend due to some logistical issues. So instead for today, I'll recap last year's cook off (since that was during my year long blogging hiatus!)

Without further ado - 2nd Annual Anniversary Cook Off: Secret Ingredient Strawberries.

Here we are at the beginning, all smiles!

Whew the cooking is done!  Way too much chaos (and a large grease fire) to take pictures during!  But here are the menus - this was after the eating and judging so that's why they are a little beat up.

Strawberry Cornbread (Menu 2)

Flank Steak (Menu 2)

Chicken Legs (Menu 2)

Salad (Menu 2)

Steak (Menu 1)

Pork (Menu 1)

Smoothie and Mousse (Menu 1)

Gazpacho in the upper left and Strawberry tea in the mug (Menu 1), Chocolate and candied ginger strawberries (Menu 2)

I'm predicting the results here!  You can also see the sangria (Menu 2) in the right back.

So could you tell which menu was mine and which was Ruchir's?  Mine was #2!  And yes, I won again this year!  Ruchir looks so dejected :) Once again, we'll see what happens next year - or actually, since this really happened last year, we'll see what happens in just a few short days!
