Uncle Wiggly’s Weekday Contest – Winners Revealed (finally)

Posted on by


Uncle Wiggly’s Posse.

First things first, I want to thank everyone for their time and effort in putting these entries together. I’ve done a few myself and what with our busy lives, it’s truly amazing we get done what we do.
We also need to give a healthy round of applause to Pantheon Books of New York who donated Diana Abu-Jaber’s book, The Language of Baklava. It’s a memoir, eh. I would also like to thank Chilebrown, Mama and myself for doing some fine judgin’. It was kinda funny, Chilebrown and I found ourselves pretty much on the same page, whereas Mama really enjoyed the fish and/or veggie parts of the entries. I believe Mama’s comment to me was, “Screw You” as she slavered over the delights. Judging is family fun, something for everyone.
Here are the DETAILS of the contest from more than a few weeks ago, just in case you missed it all.
Okay, let’s get to it, enough of the blah blah blah.
Since there were so many good posts, I’m extending the prizes so we can have 4 winners. Spiffnoid, eh?

1. At the top of the heap we find Saffron’s BLT. You hit us at the right time with the right ingredient, bacon.
2. We have two people in Second Place, Charlotte with her Summer Weeknight Special and Henry Joe with his Indoor Tri-Tip with Cabernet Reduction. (Just scroll down to see his entry).
3. For the 4th book, Kevin flies in with his Chicken Picata.
Cheers to y’all and the winners can either email me directly and leave your mailing address. Or I will contact you on Monday when I have your email addresses in front of me.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I have some dishes to do. Take care,
Biggles

  5. I had a feeling doing a veggie dish wouldn’t cut it with you carnivorous lot. (Stop bullying Mama!) But the fact I inspired some of my readers to actually go and make their own omelettes for dinner last week after reading my post means more to me than any prize. I wasn’t out to win, I was out to tell the truth and I think Cookie Crumb did too – (loved her avocado sanswich!)

  6. Bullying is a terrible job, but somebody has to do it. It’s the only way I can get my vegetables or fish.

  7. No no – I meant for them to stop bullying YOU mama, not vica versa, but if you bully back so they get their veg and eat their greens – that is nothing but a good thing 🙂

  9. Oh my goodness. I thought I’d better check in to see the results, and am shocked to read that I have come first, among some mighty fine entries.
    Thank you! Hope you enjoy your weekday BLT as much as I did.
    Thanks Biggles… A toast to bacon!

  10. Hey Sam,
    Heh, yeah. Ya know, I didn’t set out that way. I loved nearly all the recipes. And wanted to be partial … yeah well, when I was done and compared my notes to Chilebrown’s and saw the trend. Sigh. Hopeless, sorry.
