I just counted them.
Correct.
Now where's the count of all the TDs where I almost won, but lost in the last throws of voting?

SOMB, that was a killer entry. I like those spices with olives and beef in a tomato sauce, kind of like Ropa Vieja, but not shredded, more like post roast. That, with the poblanos, and pineapple upside-down cake! Wow. Nice show with the DOs also. Killer.
I can vouch for how awesome it tasted.
Seriously. If you've never had boliche, give it a shot. The sauce is similar to ropa vieja, but the chorizo really slams it home.
Sum nailed this one. The addition of some heat and extra olives and capers threw it over the edge. The meat is slow-cooked and tender. The gravy is amazing. Awesome job.
And the cake came out so good. Sum doesn't really bake much. I mean, he can, but he's a grill/smoker/fried-food kind of guy.
Usually my wife bakes the goodies when we cook at the frydad house.
So, for him to step out of his element and bust this out was a major feat.
Well done, my friend.

Never had it, but I just looked it up, and he did a good job. Love good Cuban food. Ropa is one of my faves, so I have to try this!
You gotta jump on this, THP! I texted FD the next day, "Dude, I wanna do yesterday all over again, exactly the same way!"
This really IS a true story.

Sounds like a private conversation
No, really , Boliche is great!
And thanks, all, for the congrats!
My "almost win" count is probably just as pathetically hilarious looking as my "try" count.
Sum...WINNING!
Sheen jokes are so last weekend 
Let's get ridiculawesome!!! I remember that moment. The mango pollen was thick in the air.
And then I punched FD in the face.
(NOT A) true story.

I didn't realize you were so close without winning so many times, Sum. You must be the Susan Lucci of TDs. Congrats and a job well done. And thanks for not giving me the DQ tiara.
