Well, the results are in and not one of my recipes won in epicurious.com’s Best Vegetarian Recipe Contest. That’s so lame. The winning recipes are lame too. It’s not like I wanted a built-in microwave but the bragging rights would have been nice. OK, that’s enough ranting. I submitted my recipe for Bolivian corn chowder figuring that, although I feel chipotle chilies are now over used, people still tend to gravitate towards recipes containing them…apparently, I was correct because one of the winning recipes is Chipotle Sweet Potato Gratin. I also turned in recipes for Asian Slaw, Cashew Korma and Posole Verde. I thought Posole Verde might have a shot because there are few good vegetarian hominy recipes out there. Maybe the 2 to 3 unseeded serranos called for in the recipe scared them off. Maybe I’ll enter my Green Bean Salad recipe in this month’s Best Summer Salad contest. It also has chipotles but I’ll have to check with my mom to see where we got the original recipe from (you know, in case it’s actually from epicurious.com or something.) In other news, I’m going to check out the Capitol Hill farmer’s market this afternoon. I’m really interested to see what they have there because it’s only about 7 blocks from my apartment!
