Morning all,
I am wondering if anyone besides myself enters food items in your local fairs anymore. I know locally the entries are WAY down as noone cooks like they used to. I however appear to be stuck in a time warp where I just LOVE making things the way grammy used to. ( ie: the 8 pints of dilly beans, and 5 quarts and 2 pints of bread and butter pickles I put up this morning)
In one way, I suppose I dont mind that the entries are down because I am almost always am assured to get a blue ribbon, but what kind of victory is it if i know the compitition dosent present a challange.
Any way I would be intrested to know if you do enter items what types of items you enter or perhaps have won with in the past. I have a wonderful poundcake recipe that I have taken 2 blue ribbons with at 2 of our local fairs. This year I am entering a batch of homemade yeast rolls and perhaps some biscuits.
