PAST FN DISH CONTEST WINNERS

WINNER of Rachael Ray's 10-pc Porcelain Enamel Orange Cookware

Post in the comments below why you would benefit most from a new set of cookware:

"Making a Family Meal
Can be quite an ordeal
One pan, one pot
Is all that I've got

And a lid?
Who am I trying to kid?

I can't get water to steam
This hand-me-down set
Arrgh! I want to scream!

A wedding set
We did not get

My cookware is a mess
Can I use this pot-
When it is handle less?

The Rachael Ray set
Orange or blue eclectic
Would work on my stove
An ordinary electric

No flat top for me
I'm a little behind
Winning this set
Would really be fine!"

WINNERS of a box of Esposito's Finest Sausage

Post how you would use Esposito's sausage in cooking up your next meal:

"Outside to the grill. Put on a couple of sausages with some red and yellow peppers. Quarter up a red onion and on to the grill. Toast up a baguette of bread on the grill, rub with garlic. R emove skins from the roasted peppers, slice them and toss those and onions with a of olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Slice my succulent sausage into hearty bites. Pile it all on a slice of toasted bread. Take embarrassingly large bites because when will I ever get Esposito's sausage out west again."

Come up with four lines of original grilling lyrics:

"If you have a hankerin? to barbecue,
There?s nothing more satisfying than `moo for two?!
Heat up the coals, toss a salad into bowls,
Throw the steak on the grate and you?ll impress your mate"

"Before the FN Dish, I dared not to grill,
But now my tongs and tines flip with skill,
And now my meat has perfect grill marks,
Like mesquite kisses made with gentle sparks!"

By Calvin Selth

How do I know when this fish is done?
Gently life with a spatula, hoping not to spill?
Half my dinner is still on the grill!"

Adam?s WINNERS from the "favorite new blog" submissions:

3rd Place: The Guerilla Gourmet
http://www.theguerrillagourmet.com

"I like this blog because it has a nice look, two clear authors and a funky, spunky sensibility."

2nd Place: The Arugula Files
http://arugulafiles.typepad.com

"Crisp, clean design and smart writing with lovely pictures of food."

1st Place: From Argentina With Love
http://fromargentinawithlove.typepad.com

"At the end of the day, a good blog has a story and this one takes the cake: a woman follows her husband to Argentina and blogs about her food experiences there. It was a close call between the top three, but this one took it because of the picture of a whole barbecued goat. Congrats!"
