Yesterday, Cameron and I decided to enter into an appetizer and dessert competition hosted by The Division of Diversity and Community Engagement at UT Austin. We had a remarkable plan, a couple of dishes that would showcase our culinary skills and create a buzz around our Foodie*VISTA blog.
Well, we almost pulled it off. The dishes came out superb, but our timing could not have been worse. We missed the competition by 10 minutes and our chance at becoming Foodie*Superstars fell to the wayside, at least momentarily. "Better luck next year", were the consoling words we were left with.
Although we were late to the party, many words of praise were also awarded. In fact, the Vice President of the DDCE, Dr. Gregory Vincent, assured us that we would have absolutely won in our respective categories. Another good sign was that within seconds of displaying our dishes, swarms of people "oohing and ahhing" surrounded and subsequently engulfed our platters of potsickers, and cookies.
To all that enjoyed our Texas Sweet Potato and Sage Potstickers and Maple, Bacon, Chocolate Chip Cookies (MBC^3); THANK YOU! We will be posting our recipes on the blog within the next couple of days, so stay tuned!
