December Culinary Smackdown - The Winner!

It was decided by a committee that the only fair way to choose a winner was by a random generation process. So I quickly got on the phone and ordered a representative from the Random Generator Company. I was informed immediately that her schedule was rather full today.

First she had to, get a pedicure.....

Oversee her veterinarian practice.....

cook for her family......

finish a photo shoot.....

and complete her next novel.......

Then she would arrive for the important hands on work. While waiting for the Random Generator representative to arrive, I had time to assemble the winners prize package.

 2 Vancouver USA tee shirts
1 pound of organic raisins
and a cinnamon grinder, for your
cooking and baking pleasure.






In addition I prepared the important paperwork and external parts needed by the Random Generator Company's representative, when selecting the winning entry.

In accordance with the Random Generator Company's guidelines, each entry will be written on a sheet of paper. The paper will be folded, several times, in order to hide the message and insure equal and fair treatment. The folded papers will be poured from one dish to the other, time after time, until when thoroughly and completely mixed, the lucky winner will be pulled from the bowl.

I had thought about calling in the local accounting firm of Moore, Good, and Plenti, but as it turns out, they were out of the office for the balance of the year. Celebrating and preparing for their upcoming busy season, tax time.  Concerned for the accuracy of the outcome, my concern was quieted when I realized that the Random Generator Company is above reproach. So I relaxed and poured another cup of coffee.


News Flash:  Word has just now been received, the Random Generator Company is in fact sending their best paper picker to Europe.....Europe? What happened to my house? For Pete's sake.....

I guess it is completely up to me. Lets review, in order of submission, the candidates:
