If this is a possibility, I want in. I have only made a couple pies and could use the practice.

I'll run a NICSA/ICSA next if we need a chairperson, now that I have income, time, some internet maturity (IKR! like fine cheese), ideas, and energy.

Please do! What ideas do you have? I need another challenge!

I like my NICSA idea... but our american holiday is awfully close... I guess it could start in a week and end after that holiday? My ICSA idea is better for spring, so I'll still volunteer for that.

Speak ye of St. Swithin's Day?

We could do a sweet potato/squash one, that would be fun.

Had to google St. Swithin's day. Goodness, wonder if that has any relation to the insane summer rains we had here this year.

To be honest, it was a Simpsons reference which I only just learned was a real holiday. I'd've picked a November holiday for realism's sake, otherwise!

My vote is cranberry, since I carmelize onions all over the place but have only had cranberries dried or canned. This will be an opportunity to play with something new.

But yeah, if you're looking to get utter cooking newbies on board, onion isn't a bad bet.

Random ICSA theme idea:

'Round the World
Take the seven continents, exclude Antarctica and whichever continent you happen to live on, and make a meal featuring five dishes where each one is characteristic of some part of the five remaining continents.

e.g. As someone living in North America I'd have to make things based on regional recipes from Asia, Africa, South America, Europe, and Australia, and hopefully make them all work together somehow.

As an adjunct NICSA contest people could pick three of the five available continents.

I'm in! I have to do an ICSA since I graduated out of NICSA far too young

That's cool with me if it's cool with you. It did seem kind of upside-down to have the better prize for NICSA, but I also didn't have any issue with a newbie getting something cool. Book for NICSA, vizzler for ICSA it is then.


I'll try to make it very clear in the writeup that the vizzler is both gently used and not really up for exchange if you already have one. If the winner already has a sous vide setup they can pass on the prize to the #2 person, etc.

Hopefully people don't get all pissy and rules-lawyer-ish about what is supposed to be a fun contest done more for the experience than the prizes.The prizes should really just be a bonus on top of winning and a paper chef hat with '#1' scrawled on the front in sharpie should be enough alongside the actual, you know, winning due being recognized by your peers as having done a great job and all.

If somebody gives up the sous videodrome to second place I'll buy them a title saying "this poster is a competent cook whose generous deeds speak volumes regarding their character"

Suspect bucket didn't come back from his brandy so I will do it (unless someone has dibs, please PM me if so!) I won a NICSA a long time ago when I was a poor graduate student and got a nice sousvide out of a very generous prize. I will gladly pony up some nice prizes or amazon gift cards now that I am making a nicer salary (and still use that drat sousvide every weekend!). I would love the chance to pay that forward. I'm thinking beans as a NICSA theme.

If anyone has dibs or issues let me know, otherwise I will toss up a thread tomorrow with the theme etc. Would be nice to circulate it outside GWS to get some newbies involved.

You should do it! I also can't compete (coughcoughduetoalsowinningnicsacoughcough) but I love seeing what people make.

I'd happily be part of whatever! I can't start it because I am incapable of starting that sort of thing, any thread I make dies immediately. I actually think I even tried to start a tortilla challenge that didn't go anywhere, once. So I'm gonna hang back here and hope someone with charisma can do this.
