I'll definitely be prepping a nice prize box for the TD. I won't be able to include any aji charapita though, since I already cut that plant down. I could throw in some seeds for it though, which must be worth their weight in gold, since fresh charapita pods now go for $25K a kilo...The Hot Pepper said:

Really liking what I am seeing from everyone so far! I am glad no one else decided to go Vietnamese. I decided I am going to take advantage of the extra day tomorrow and finish my entry then. It's football time and I am wanting wings right now. My soup is done so I'll just have to make the noodles tomorrow and add the beef and the toppings. The pork belly will be a little more work, but it shouldn't take too long either.
