    Chili, Soup, And Stew Throwdown: It's Time To Vote

    This is a great idea Jeff. Thanks so much for bringing it up. I can set it up so that people who voted for each entry can be seen. What I'd likely do is keep that hidden until all voting is done then change the parameters so the voters are visible. I'd need to discuss this with Chris (@gmc2003)...

    Chili, Soup, And Stew Throwdown: It's Time To Vote

    Dan, thanks so much for voicing your thoughts. Chris (@gmc2003) and I are beating our brains out trying to figure out a way to bolster support from the forum members with the voting. Every perspective we get from people will give us something to consider in our efforts. This is all too true...

    Chili, Soup, And Stew Throwdown: It's Time To Vote

    I'd like to start this with an apology. I try to reply to each entry in some capacity just to let you know I got it and to thank you for sending it in. Sadly, time did not permit me to reply to the last several entries that came in. For that, I do apologize. I did however take time to go back...

    February Throwdown: Chili, Soups, And Stews (Gonna Be Fun!!)

    WOW!! The deadline for entering was last night. I was starting to get a bit disappointed with the participation but all of a sudden y'all came through. What a great turnout we had for this one. We were not really sure how many entries to expect, but boy oh boy, this one is gonna be a ton of fun...

    Yep, Ryan is on the money here. This is the last weekend to get those entries in. We've gotten several, and a lot of them are from folks that have never entered before. We appear to be lacking entries from a a bunch of the mainstay folks who regularly enter. We will probably see a deluge of good...

    February Throwdown: Chili, Soups, And Stews (Gonna Be Fun!!)

    Well folks, two of the three weekends covering this TD have come and gone. One weekend left plus the remainder of this week. Let's get those entries put together and sent in. This is the best prize package we've ever had but there's no chance of getting in on some of them if you don't enter...

    Happy Birthday Robert

    Thanks so much everybody for the birthday well-wishes. It means more than I can say, especially after such a lackluster time in here the past few months. With the advent of cooler weather mom is spending far less time out on the patio and more time inside. I recently started back into reloading...

    I don't see why not. Those I'd think would fall under the category of stew....but I'm not an expert on either of those :emoji_laughing: Robert

    It's only one event with three choices for your entry. You can make chili, soup, and stew if you'd like and include them all in one picture, but only one entry per person is all that can be submitted for voting. Robert

    So sad but oh so true. I'm about sick of the Kelce / Swift saga and due to that, y'all can rest assured that I will not be watching the game this year. They can have it. Go 49'ers!! Robert

    No apology necessary. We try to structure these events so everybody, regardless of how long they have been a member, has an equal opportunity to enter and win. We'd rather you ask a Q than chance getting DQ'd. The description sent to me can be as long or as short as you want it to be. It does...

    February Throwdown: Chili, Soups, And Stews (Gonna Be Fun!!)

    That's what we're hoping...as well as hoping to see an entry coming from you my friend, not get busy :emoji_laughing: Yep, gotta agree. This is probably the best prize package we've had thus far. That knife from @civilsmoker is the coup de grace though. That thing is spectacular....but they are...

    February Throwdown: Chili, Soups, And Stews (Gonna Be Fun!!)

    No sir. Just one pic showing the code word and sent only to me via PM...and please oh please, don't post any version of your entry in the public forum. That has happened in the past and it's heartbreaking having to tell somebody that their entry was DQ'd. The structuring may sound harsh but it's...

    We're hoping Joel. This one has been a long time coming but hopefully folks will embrace the concept and send in their entries. Thanks so much sir. I've really missed being here and am hoping this event will be the catalyst to get me back on a much more regular basis. Robert

    Quite simple David. Just narrow it down to the best of the best and send me a pic, which you've been VERY successful at with these events. That pic however is just plain wrong :emoji_laughing: Robert

    Wow!! That do look good my friend. Shame you missed it for this event but rumor has it that there are a few folks here that make a pretty awesome pot of Zuppa Toscana....and a few other amazing soups :emoji_wink: Sweet!! Can't wait to see what's coming our way and I know exactly where it's...

    Those look perfect Civil. Maybe a pot of chicken soup is in order here :emoji_laughing: You sir have been cleaning house with these events and eating well. Yep, that CPB is real deal and absolutely delicious. All of those meals look truly fantastic. Way to showcase some of your winnings these...

    Isn't that the way it always seems to work? The good side though is that there's still plenty of time to come up with something fun and interesting as an entry. Robert

    WOW!! That looks really good right there. Maybe she could coach you through a batch for your entry in the TD...just don't tell anybody what you're up to :emoji_wink: Robert
