It's been a great competition and thanks all for participating! We had a few pros in this one who will be considered for the chairmans prize only and not part of the general voting since this is a newbie contest. There are prizes for 1st and 2nd place in the voting and the chairman's prize which could be almost anything (or almost nothing!). In order of submission are: Kirtar - Many beans and many pickles BrianBoitano - Garbanzo bean meats and lima bean sweets Nephzinho - Beans - Good For Your Heart Waci - The accidentally deep fried hands were not part of the meal SLICK GOKU BABY - Once you go Black You Don't Go Back... Well You Might... Ben Nevis - A Mess of Beans Those not eligible for NICSA - chairmans prize will be considered dino. - Beanception Scientastic - Chronicling the failings of a has-bean Voting will run the entire week until I wake up Saturday, March 9 and call it. Please try to share the thread far and wide and lets get some decent turnout. We've all seen what happens with low voter turnout. Once winners are voted I will reach out to see how you prefer to get your prize. Thanks to everyone for participating, and for the non-newbies to throw in some nice effort and show us all really interesting stuff! If you have any concerns or questions or spotted any errors, PM me or email at breaky@gmail.com or just post up in here if it's not a sensitive topic.

So many great entries, this is gonna be a tough choice in voting! Nice work all around. I really wanted to get in on this, and actually instantly had the perfect dessert idea --- which seems to have been the big head-scratcher for most entrants. Unfortunately, my life's kinda gone sideways and I'm squatting in someone's basement with a "kitchen" that consists of an old dining room table and a microwave. I did make split pea and mixed bean soup in the microwave (THAT only took, like, 5 thousand hours. I really should have soaked before trying that). Anyways, cross-posting from the Historical Cooking Thread, here's what I was gonna do for dessert: I, a few months ago, posted:Recently my boss at my restaurant job had pies cooling when we came in (we come in at 5 am; she's nuts and comes in at like 3. But hey, not gonna argue with stuff like 5am congee if she likes making breakfast for us). So if anyone's got a ton of leftover beans you don't know what to do with, give it a shot! Just Google "depression bean pie" and you'll get varieties using pintos, navy... I bet black beans would work pretty well, too. Thanks for all the inspiration, folks! And now I'm starving.

I need to get personal pie tins. I've never finished a normal sized one in a meal and slices don't keep as well. A local bakery does 2"-3" pies and after every holiday I get to fill my freezer with leftovers.

Bollock Monkey posted:Absolutely. I vote with my tummy though and picked the one I'd be most excited to eat overall. Good job, guys! Yeah, I finally voted with my gut (yuk yuk) choice of "if I could have any one of these for dinner tonight, what would it be?" I absolutely suck at photography, and am an avid follower of the AFP thread, so I know sometimes something can taste fan-loving-tastic but doesn't photo well, even under the best circumstances. Beans are pretty notorious for this; one of my signature dishes is my family's sacred lentil soup. Every year I make it and take pictures, and while it tastes fantastic, it always comes out a hot mess in photos. All y'all did a great job, though! Special shout-outs to dino and Scientastic for participating; I love your posts and it was cool as heck to have you join the party even though you weren't technically qualifiers. I hope another NICSA pops up soon, I really want to try one someday.

I've been spending more time on my plating overall and just starting to take the photography aspect more seriously. For the former, it 90% comes down to being patient enough to hold off on just diving in (see: the broccoli rabe part of my cassoulet dish being completely eaten about an hour before it was done). For the latter, it has just been taking photos in the one well lit spot in the apartment and using consistent framing/exposure.

You can buy nice photo lights for reasonably cheap too if you want to take the photo and lighting came up to the next level. I sell on Ebay and already have a couple lights and umbrellas. My kitchen however is laughably small and was only able to get 1 light in there. And even then it was interesting to deal with... (I also have a tripod and a wireless clicker because I am not able to hold my phone steady and take photos).

Just a heads up I have company coming in for a good chunk of the weekend. Depending on when they leave I may post announcements a little later in the weekend instead of 1st thing Saturday morning. Voting will remain open until then. Once results are up I will get in touch with the winners to go over specifics about prizes.

Clearly you need to close it on time so that we have a second place tie and ensuing death match.

Coinflip tiebreaker went to Nephzinho. Winner is Waci, 2nd Nephzinho. Chairman's prize goes to dino. for making a very nice newbie friendly instructive and educational post. I need to see if I have something i can send to slick goku baby as well because that was a really cool effort going all in on black beans. Winners please contact me by PM if you have them and we can sort out preference on prizes, ie methods to send money or giftcards. If you don't have Pms post here and I'll give contact info. Thanks to everyone else that participated, New and old alike. There was a lot of cool stuff and I'm definitely making several of these dishes this month or two. Congratulations!

Dunno what the second place prize is, but happy to split with goku if possible on the tie. I've already got most forum upgrades. Looking forward to the next one (with better photos)!

You don't have PMs and I thought your entry was cool and that it sucks to lose on a coin flip. Do you want an avatar cert or forums upgrade at least? If so let me know and I can send over. My email is spoilerd in the OP.

Ok, prizes should be all sent to everyone now! Please contact me if there are any issues. Thanks again everyone for participating and for those also who took the time to help judge and vote. This was fun. I've more than paid for the the sousvide system I won from an NICSA a few years ago so finally I get the chance to pay it forward and it's nice to see so much cool stuff happen in this one.
