[JoynersHotPeppers]

I was a big fan of the 1 pot idea, homage to P. Dreadie would be very nice!

I just happen to have a crock pot meal that is perfect for Cinco de Mayo. Bring it on! 

 

[CheriLBW]

Crockin season over

 

[tctenten]

The best thing about a crockpot TD is that someone who's kitchen is being remodeled can still enter.......

Tapas.

 

[salsalady]

I like a one-pot challenge, but was also feeling like the whole soup-stew-dumplings-roast is a little aout of season for the northern hemisphere. 
 
 
 
 
Cinco-de-MAYO...as in mayonnaise....

April Showers Bring May Flowers...
MAY FLOWERS...

Spring TURKEY challenge!!
Do something new and innovative with the humble Turkey, a protein that is often ignored except for one day in November and in cheap $5 footlongs.

 

[JoynersHotPeppers]

Smoked turkey is on my soon to so list

 

[Bumper]

Tapas +1  
 
They are good for all seasons.  Would have to be at least 2 maybe 3 dishes though to keep with the spirit of tapas methinks

A better tribute is Caribbean. Which includes one pot, pepper pot, jerk, pelau, and all that good Caribbean food. On the cusp of the weather changing it may be a good one.

Last time I tried tapas too many people didn't understand what it was and it was kind of a mess.

[The Hot Pepper]

I'l liking Caribbean, we've never done it, we did Jerk and Curry which allowed Caribbean style curry. But never Caribbean food.

 

[grantmichaels]

Last time I tried tapas too many people didn't understand what it was and it was kind of a mess.

 

 

[The Hot Pepper]

And really it's just small plates of big food so may as well go big

 

[salsalady]

Caribbean.....YES! 
 
 
 
I'd like to nominate POPPERS for some time in the future, maybe for TD #90 or #100.  Nice round numbers    >>>>
 
and also COMFORT FOODS for later in the year, more of a fall/winter thing. 
 
FERMENTATION---could be veggies, sauce, beer, wine, sourdough bread...but would take more than a 3-day weekend.  Not sure how that one would work~
 
VEGETARIAN- I think this has been floated before, but with all the carnivores around here it got shot down. 
 
Single Ingredients- Beef-Pork-Chicken-  these have been used a LOT in all the other TD's but never as the single ingredient.  How many ways can CHICKEN be cooked?  who can post the best chicken-whatever?   Wings -vs- fried-vs-chicken fried steak.....
 
More Ethnic/Regional- Italian, Russian, Spicy French/Canadian (does such a thing exist???)    just kidding!  Claude Dube will disown me for that! 
 
Other Specialized cooking methods like- nothing on your house stove, grill, or smoker- must be cooked on a campfire, toaster oven, briquettes, solar oven....???
 
 
Just throwing out ideas, maybe someone will take an idea and come back with something better! 

 

[The Hot Pepper]

No Walkerswood

 

[salsalady]

Caribbean with no prepared sauces, must make your own seasonings or sauces.  Just a bit of JayT'ing and recipes abound.  I shouldn't be thinking about food like this while I'm starving!  I should just nuke up some nachos with Sweet Spicy Girl and call it dinner....
