Rendezvous '14 Dutch Oven Cook off: Cast Iron Chef:

[Tim Eubanks]

Let the battle begin!

Ok, all you DO masters and masters-in-training: Get your best recipe perfected, your briquette count exact, and get your stuff to the Rendezvous Dutch Oven Cook Off. We'll shoot for 6pm Saturday (adjustments can be made closer to) in time to have judging complete before the Pot Luck. Plan on having a serving or two for judging, enough for your family, and share the rest at the Pot Luck.

To reduce competition, I am bowing out this year but will offer my two DO's for a couple of interested newbies who may not have the cast iron on hand. My award-winning recipes and advice are available for certain considerations:

Yes, Larry Crane and Roger Head, you are back in the race.

Rules (there aren't many) and prizes (to write home about) forthcoming. Watch this space and "Rules" thread
This is a " one pot/dish" contest.

Let the trash talking commence!

[Crane]

Tim, your bowing out may reduce crowding, but probably won't affect the competition:)

[Deuce]

Tim, your bowing out may reduce crowding, but probably won't affect the competition:)

OH SNAYAPS!

[Tim Eubanks]

Tim, your bowing out may reduce crowding, but probably won't affect the competition:)

Well played, Larry. Got any unused vessels about that you'd be willing to let newbies use? Just trying to get more folks involved. Smart@%% retort to follow later.

[Crane]

As a matter of fact I might have a DO or two I would be willing to lend to a newbie... As we are in the process of moving, I will set a spare or two aside! Crane

[Deuce]

Regarding spares, I have several. Little Deuce has stated her intention to cook the competition, but I'll be glad to lend four or five to anyone interested.

[Tim Eubanks]

Wow, thanks guys! No excuses now. I have a couple of chimneys to add as well.

[Shark Attack]

What is this oven thingy you guys are talking about? Asks the DO shark

[Tim Eubanks]

Wes: bring that posole and let it bump.

[Roger]

[Richard]

Watch out for the sleeper

[okieboater]

Richard,

there may be more than one

zzzzzz

[Deuce]

Richard,

there may be more than one

zzzzzz

I sure do hope that's not an idle threat.

[Tim Eubanks]

If Okieboater enters a dish, he has to have one hand tied behind his back, preferably the right one. And Roger has to wear his PFD

[Roger]

You guys and gals out there are just going to have miss my culinary disasters this year since my career path has changed a bit. But seriously, this is all you guys have for TRASH talking?
