[JennaGlatzer]

It took me one day to eat the entire box of Tagalongs my mom bought for me. I've e-mailed the Girl Scouts, but they're not responding.

Send me cookies and I'll "accidentally delete" whichever entries you think are your toughest competition. ;)

[SRHowen]

LOL I have Girl Scout cookies---I even have Tagalongs.

[Hermit]

I have to compete against Girl Guide cookies....SIGH:( I'll never win - they have the bestest.

Come one guys! We can bribe them somehow!!:Sun: Think!

[JennaGlatzer]

I dunno, Hermit, home-made chocolate chippies from an extra-secret recipe sounds darn good to me!

[William Haskins]

whip up a batch of my special brownies.

[Susie]

Darn, I knew I should have bought boxes of those Girl scout cookies when I saw them outside walmart! How about Little Debbie's?:)


Warm regards, Susie:)

Wow! I'm gonna have to build an extra room for all my incoming goodies. Think the neighbors will wonder why there are 238 shipments of cookies and "special" brownies tomorrow? :D

I should have thought bigger. Have I mentioned I need a new car?

Can I interet anyone in a loaf of my world famout zucchini walnut bread? Not enough? How about a decandant chocolate peanut butter pie?

How can they not?

Sorry, I don't like pie. But a pound of twenties would do nicely... :D

[jdkiggins]

I guess I'm out of luck. The Girl Scouts can't find my house because I'm so far in the sticks, so I can't bribe with cookies. My oven just died, so I can't bake anything. A car, Jenna, I'd send you mine but I'm afraid it's following a close race with my oven. All I have to offer is a :)


So much for that, huh!

Wait, wait.

Who doesn't like pie?

It's one of like, the four basic foodgroups: red meat, enchiladas, hummus, and pie.

This is slightly offensive to me! :Wha:

[Sarita]

It's me. I am the pie hater. What can I say? I'm not as american as apple pie, apparently...:Shrug:

Throw stones, go ahead. Did you hear about my Neil Diamond hatred, too? :D

[Sarita]

And don't get me started on red meat... Enchiladas and hummus, sounds good to me...

[wurdwise]

I'm not a judge, but would you still send me some of that zucchini walnut bread? Damn that sounds good!:Coffee:

[trumancoyote]

I can deal w/ an aversion to red meat, especially if you're ethically against it. Personally, I'm ethically against it... but it's just... so... delicious.

I'm weak.

But pie! Pie don't hurt no one, miss!

It's just there: delicious, sweet, tender; and ****ably warm, as television would lead you to believe. ;)

[Sarita]

If my piece makes it to the top 10 . . .

To the judges . . . I will reveal my :Ssh: secret strategies for winning writing contests.

Then, in the coming weeks, if my writing boosts me into one of the top three slots . . . I will reveal my :Ssh: secret strategies for winning writing contests to the whole wide world!

I'm talking time tested inside secrets--I've won various writing contest over the past few years, and I placed in the top 15 of the last two Writer's Digest contests (10,000 and 18,000 total entries--talk about tough competition).

Oh ,what the heck, you all seem like such a likeable group, even if my piece is cut in the first round, I'll still "tell all". Never was any good at keeping secrets.

So, when the contest is officially over, and the Absolute Write Idol has been selected, watch for my post titled . . .

Winning Strategies for Writing Contests.

Now why on earth would I want to share my strategies? Wouldn't that just strengthen the competition? Let's just say I'm on a mission to be the best writer I can possibly be, and helping other writers to do their best is the best way I know how to keep me at my best. Besides, if I can't always make it into the winners circle, I still feel like a winner if I had a hand helping someone else succeed.

It takes a whole lot more than talent to make it as a writer these days. I can't imagine anyone succeeding without a solid network of other writers beneath them, and from what I've seen on the Absolute Write Forum Boards, you all are a networking machine!

Been a subscriber to the Absolute Newsletter for a couple of years, but haven't frequented the boards--happy to be here now though, and I look forward to sticking around for a while.

You know, now would be the time to start laying on the rep points.

(And I promise I won't kill you after you've revealed your secret http://www.absolutewrite.com/forums/images/smilies/emoticonguns2.gif )

[JAlpha]

Trumancoyote,

I have writing contest secrets (plural), not just one. And I swear none of them involves sleeping with the judges or anything else that might be considered underhanded.

Sorry you'll just have to wait till the contest is over though, before I reveal my list of contest winning strategies. Although you might be able to bribe some of the writers in my critique group, here in the Atlanta area. I've been sharing my strategies with them for over a year now, and some of them are actually starting to win some contests too.

You like cake? If so, I will let you lack of interest in pie slide.


Hmmm, pie slide... Yummmy (Starts to drool down his chin)

Oh, and pudding is just pie without the crust. You do know that, right?

To make Chocolate cream pie: Chocolate pudding + crust + whipped cream = PIE!!!

Oh, and pudding is just pie without the crust. You do know that, right?

I meant pudding, like in England. Sticky toffee pudding is like bread pudding with all kinds of crazy sauce and very dense. Thanks for letting that pie thing go.

Oh, I see.

Do you like persimon pudding? Old favorite my grandmother used to make...

Off-topic, are we?

I shall have to bribe you with the previously mentioned persimon pudding, a three pack of Double A batteries, and one slightly used red handkerchief. Oh, and I will send you some pictures of me in Hawaii! :)

[Sarita]

Yes, a bit off topic. I love Haiwaii. My uncle used to live on Maui. Some of my favorite times were spent there.

I don't think I have ever met someone who actually hated Hawaii. Except for my friends who grew up here... but they have been stuck here their entire lives.

yeah, Batteries.

Who doesn't need batteries? They are a very sensible present. I always give them if given the chance.

Much better than giving clothing or money.

Maybe I could book a trip for the judges down to my Dad's place in Bimini for a week or so... I could even throw in use of his boat and some scuba lessons. Top that with a few boxes of Tagalongs for Jenna, and the desert of choice for the other judges... Any takers? :D

Ok everyone picture this:
Fresh hot sherry and cheese danishes, glazed with fine sugar and strawberry syrup.
How are you going to wash it all down you care to ask? But of course with the finest hot chocolate in Toronto, topped with cinnamon powder and whipped cream.

Whatever. All this food-crap is inconsequential, especially when I've got a fresh, rambunctious immortal soul to offer.

Hey, Jackyn! The recipe I have was my grandma's, and mine is nowhere near as good as hers. I think grandma's must have a secret ingredient. But anyway, this is it, tell me if it's the same. If you are from Texas, I am just about sure it is very close:

Grease an iron skillet, make regular cornbread mix, brown a pound of hamburger with onions, drain and stir into mix with a can of cream style corn, chopped jalapenos, shredded cheddar cheese, salt and pepper to taste, pour in the skillet and sprinkle with more cheese, bake at 400 degrees until golden brown.

Okay, let me say first that it made me hungry too, I think this may be what i make for supper!

They are very similar, just a few differences, I have had one really similar to that (don't know if it was exact, though) and it's yummy.

My recipe: in the skillet cook ground sausage (yummy), when brown, drain and add in 1/2 jar of picante sauce and can creamed corn, jalapenos (optional), then layer the baking pan with cornbread, then mixture, then shredded cheese, then cornbread.
bake at 400 degrees until golden brown.


big important note, though, if you ever decide to try it with sausage: make sure it is original or spicy or whatever, so long as it's NOT the kind with bacon in it. i accidentally grabbed that kind one time and the whole thing tasted horrible!
yummy! ok i have to go cook!


p.s. i just noticed i said yummy three times in this post! can you tell i have small children? lol

[wurdwise]

Jakalyn, you said sausage and made me think of another "yummy recipe." (this is the last one, guys, or we'll have to start a recipe thread!:Thumbs:

Hoppin John

Fry a lb of bacon
Fry a lb of breakfast sausage
Drain
In a crockpot, put three cans of blackeyed peas w/jalapeno
a box of Uncle Ben's wild rice w/mushrooms
half an onion, chopped
a few stalks of chopped celery
crumble the bacon and sausage in there and let sit on low for two or three hours.

If I win the contest, the judges and other writers that vote for me receive instant inclusion on the NYT Bestseller List for your next literary work. For ten weeks. Yeah, I mean even your letter to mom asking for money; that'll make it too. Not to mention a five-book deal with Random House, a nationwide signing tour topped off with an appearance on Opra, a personal jet and receipt of the Pulizer Prize for Literature.

This is what a guy's gotta do when he's no darn good at making cookies.

I am tone-deaf when it comes to poetry. I can't write it - which you'll get to see for yourself if I make to a poetry assignment (and then you can :ROFL: ) - and I don't feel like I have any place critiquing it. But any prose... if you're willing to listen to my opinion, I'm willing to give it ;)

BTW, I suppose it's a luxury to feel this at the moment, but I'm still convinced that I will never again write anything good, and I should just quit while I'm ahead. The good news is that this feeling usually passes in a day or two. The bad news is that it comes back five minutes later. :Smack:
