TB started it.
Top of page 3 of the December discussion thread. Well, actually, many of you started it long before then - the talk of BACON. When TB suggested BACON for the TD, I laughed, and thought if I was going to enter, whether the TD was BACON or not, I had to use BACON. The talk died down for a while, but then Scovie and Wheebz picked it back up. When Wheebz said "BACON wrapped steak and steak wrapped BACON", I laughed, and thought "someone should do that", not thinking it was going to be me - I had decided already to sit this one out since I have final projects due in both classes next week. Mm-hmm. Clearly that decision came and went and dispersed like so much dandelion fluff in the wind.
Whether you talked about BACON this time or not, I'm sure you talked about it at some point on one of these threads. So a big THANK YOU goes to all of you, not just for your votes, but for your inspiration - YOU GUYS ARE GREAT!
Not only that, but there were some mighty fine dishes in the competition. I particularly want to congratulate Vegan Ray - coming in as a newbie and posting vegan with this crowd was gutsy - and he has the votes to show for it. Well done!
