And the winner is…

Anne from Ottawa! (Wild applause and ringing of bells.) Anne-with-an-e, not only hails from our nation’s capital, she was selected totally without bias by Dine-O-Matic, a neat little decision-making widget just for Macs. Instead of entering restaurant names, I entered contestant names, hit the blue plate and waited for my answer.

Congratulations Anne. Email me your address (charmian [at] charmian-christie [dot] com) and I’ll send you your copy of Dominique and Cindy Duby’s Crème Brûlée. Be warned, over-use of this book can be dangerous to your waistline.

Now, before the rest of you go away with a hang-dog look muttering, “I never win anything!”, let me say everyone who entered is a winner of sorts. I didn’t ask you to relay the dish that stumps you just to make myself feel better.

No, as my thank you for entering, I’ll be providing answers or recipes to help solve the culinary challenges of everyone who was kind enough to share their frustrations — everyone but Lynda that is. After all, not being able to make Kraft dinner is a blessing not a curse.

Thanks for playing.
