Super small competition hosted by Paradox Brewing in Divide, CO with no cash prizes, six categories with just 15 minutes between turn ins, including People's Choice & sampling as a meal to raise money for a local non-profit, BUT.... took 2nd in three of the categories, 1st in Chicken, raised well over $2000 @ $20 a head, and walked out the Grand Champion.. A big shout out to Meathead and all the past & present moderators for the education on turning something raw and sometimes cantankerous into something delicious..

* - Favorite Beer - the cold one in my hand (craft beers of all flavors; haven't had a blue yummy in over 6 years) my tastes change with the season so it is difficult to name just a couple. However, I will occasionally have a vanilla porter float in the summer (Empyrean Vanilla Porter w/a scoop of homemade vanilla ice cream) as I usually drink stouts & porters in the colder months, pale ales & IPAs in the warmer months. I have to add Not Your Father's Root Beer to beers I use for floats.
* - Booze - I don't really have a favorite, but lean towards single malt Scotch & Irish whiskey
* - Wines - Reds: mainly the heavy stuff mixed in with the occasional pinot noir ( I have yet to meet a malbec I didn't like); Whites: German & Nebraska (hey, I have to support the home team)
* - Favorite Spice outlets - Volcanic Peppers - Bellevue, NE
* - Current butchers: Cure - Ft. Calhoun

Unfortunately, they only gave out the banners for 1st place winners and with just 15 minutes between turn and then just 15 minutes to get 3 samplers out plus People's Choice entry I was, as my mother would say, "busier than a one legged man at butt kicking contest"... So, I have no pictures of anything... If it hadn't been for my wife directing traffic, keeping track of times, totting entries, and keeping me on task it would have been a hot mess.. Yes, actually she is the one who won.

Yep. She was also fond of cold weather sayings, colder than a well diggers foot or colder than a witches tit in a brass bra... Her sister was fond of the F-bomb and most conversations contained at least one usage. Very colorful language given their mom never cussed or drank a drop of liquor.
