Meaty Ore posted:Welp, so much for my entry. I had three dishes and they were basically worse versions of three of yours--racks of lamb, couscous, and ice cream. Didn't get a write up done because I was busy and all my pictures were terrible due to the poo poo lighting in my kitchen. Post it anyway! Never hurts to compare, that's how everyone gets inspiration for the next one.

Okay, you got me. I've got it written up, but I'll have to wait until later to add the photos and post the thread. It's gotten too drat late right now.

I'm going to hold off so Meaty Ore can get their entry in, judging post will go up as soon as I see that.

I usually view the forums solely through my bookmarks, so I nearly missed the voting thread!

Results are in! First place - congratulations to the_chavi for Guney Anadoluya Hos Geldiniz! Nar ICSAsi Second place - congratulations to Scientastic for a meal composed of fruit they don't like Chairman's choice - TBD, I'm going to review the entries again. the_chavi and Scientastic, check your PMs. I will announce the chairman's choice on Sunday or Monday as I expect to be out all day tomorrow and the news has thrown my schedule off, as I'm sure it has for many of us. I do plan on doing at least one more ICSA before the end of the year, and I'll try to pick a slightly less controversial ingredient. Thank you everyone for participating, this was fun!

Thanks for a great prompt - I had so much fun! And since all of my guests work at NATO headquarters or for NATO Allies here in Brussels, it was a nice distraction before everything went nuts. I loved the other entries - I'm inspired to try making spanikopita for the first time ever now!

This was a super fun first ICSA to participate in. It made me think about an ingredient I have never cooked with before, and host an amazing dinner party! Can't wait for the next one. Congrats Sci and the_chavi.

Congrats to all, and here's my late write up of what I did (and did not do) for this ICSA! My plan: use my new mini waffle maker for each dish! What happened: I made one awesome dish but then sprained both my ankles and couldn't walk for almost two weeks. The (mostly theoretical) menu: Course one: Sweet waffle with fruit and pomegranate compote Course two: rice flour waffles with scallions, leeks and pomegranate molasses with aged Japanese rice vinegar. Course three: "chicken and waffles" Savory waffles with duck confit and roasted pomegranate arils. Course one actually happened! I looked up a basic waffle recipe for this one. I seeded and juiced two pomegranates and reduced the juice with sugar and ginger. When I went to make the waffles, I found that my milk had curdled so I substituted crema salvadorena and water for milk. It turned out great! I added diced pear to the ginger/pom mixture, and whipped up a mascarpone creme with fresh nutmeg and cinnamon. My partner and I ate a ton of this! I have a few pics but they're pretty terrible. Courses two and three are still in the pipeline. I plan to make a rice four waffle with scallions and leeks to mimic the scallion pancakes Dino makes. For the third course I need to confit some duck legs and plan to roast some pomegranate arils for garnish/flavor. Thanks to SB for the topic!
