Edible Crafts (in Mary's Daily Dish)

This year’s Christmas party proved to be a success. It’s always great to spend time with hometown friends and share good food, drinks and laughs… and to make edible art projects.

I decided that this year’s edible craft would be Christmas traincars. Everyone took part and medals were given to the winners. The catergories were decided after a few drinks… and they were. Best overall. Best use of twinkie. Most creative. And Best Creativity. Yes… this is funny.

All of the judging was done blindly. I drank and ate while all the contestants created their entries.

My good friend Danny and I judged. Here are the pics….

The winners were…

Best Overall: My Best Friend’s Sister Jesse

Most Creative: Jesse’s Boyfriend Eric- He made a spider (not a train but really creative)

Best Use of Twinkie: Husband of a high school friend Josh… he split the twinkie and re-enacted a scene from “Throw Mamma from the Train.” Cool.

Best Creativity: My other bestest friend in the world “Sole Mate” who crafted a train on a bridge, complete with a water feature. She amazes me.

The only other train submitted/loser: My best friend’s husband John. He lost.

My best friend made an amazing almond short bread. Soooo good. Recipe to be posted soon…

Final Dish: Oh what a jolly Christmas train my friends created. I think I have a crush on all of my friends and the food that they create.

Comment Guidelines

Be Respectful. Do you kiss your mother with that mouth?: Although the old saying, "If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all," is swell, we encourage constructive feedback (ie, be polite), and recommend backing-up your comments with evidence/witnesses.
Be Honest. Look where it got Abe Lincoln. Well, before the evening at the theater.: We don't recommend complaining just for the sake of it (see number 1), but if you have a legitimate comment, it should be shared. Also, don't hesitate to disagree with other comments, even if your opinion is in the minority. If patrons aren't honest about their experiences, restaurants won't know that there is room for improvement. And there always is.
Be Specific. "The food was good" doesn't cut it.: Each dining experience is unique, so if a dining experience moves you in any way, by all means, share the details. Choose the sensory details that impacted your experience the most and describe them in your postings. Other foodies will gobble it up—literally.
Be Concise. 'Nuf said.: What? We thought it was pretty clear the first time.
Be Helpful. Sort of like how the elves and reindeer help Santa.: Will what you have to say improve the restaurant's ability to provide impeccable service and improve the dining experience for others (again, see number 1)? If so... help away.
Show a Little Pride. No Jane or John Does please.: If you are too embarrassed to put your name as the commenter, you probably should re-evaluate your comments (you know the drill... see number 1). If you have sensitive information that you feel needs to be passed along, please use your best judgment and e-mail it to us to avoid public posting. We don't want you to have any post-post regrets.
Don't Name Names. Let's not get too personal here.: We know you want to share your experiences, both good and bad, but this isn't the place to publicly condemn or praise individual people. Feel free to comment on "the service", "the chef", or "the staff", but any positive or negative mention of specific names will be moderated.
