No cooking utensils will be harmed in this year's event. Maybe. Spatulas and sporks are inherently funny. Maybe I can also ponder "What is Quality?" Yep, just hoping to ratchet up the pressure.

Maybe I can also ponder “What is Quality?”

I've got two ideas this year, one of them is a reject from last year, so we'll see what happens. I know one thing is for certain: I'm not going to any "write in" events. It's just creepy to me to sit around in a public place and write in a group. I assume this means you'll be joining the fray again? Will there be cooking utensils involved this year?

I'm tempted to write something else though, and have signed up for the October 1 alert email.
