If this doesn't make Martha Stewart come across, I'll just buy her for five packages of ramen noodles.

Maggie, you may want to edit your first post on the other thread and include the image there. It's a bit confusing if you go there first and not here and miss the photo.

Top of my class at CIA, a rising star at some of the finest kitchens in America, and I wind up cooking at the NHL's retirement home.

Thanks, Jon, I have done so.

And may I reiterate: There are always two threads per competition, one to announce it, and another on which to post entries! I give the link to the entries thread on the announcement thread.

No one's disqualified for posting in the wrong place...but it sure makes the judging neater if we keep all your Good Stuff together.

Merci.

This job is SO beneath me. These little heathens don't even appreciate my egg and tuna salad.

Congratulations on your Golden Gully, ballast_regime. This was a tough contest to judge, because I cracked up at almost every entry. A real embarras de richesse

I'd like to add some Honorable Mentions here to those who are inelegible: my fellow Contributors, the Mods and Affiliates. (And the Rockers too.)

Andy Lynes:

"Of course presentation is paramount in my style of cuisine. After all, we eat first with our eyes, n'est ce pas?"

Varmint:

"If the Perlows want larb balls, I'll give 'em the goddam larb balls."

Fat Guy:

"It's like making tuna salad with a condom on," complains Agnes Buford, president of International Sisterhood of Lunch Ladies Local 242 in Wayne, New Jersery. "And don't get me started on the hairnet."

But thank you all. The caption contest will become rotating feature of the Smackdown.
