Random stuff from the last couple days

We went to Topsfield fair -- I got a list of the cooking contest categories. One category is cheesecake, and Lis says I have to enter next year.

For everyone else on my friends list: Topsfield fair also has competitions for over twenty categories of beer, a dozen categories of wine, a half-dozen categories of cider, four or five categories of mead. C'mon, folks -- I've HAD some of the stuff you brew -- I KNOW that some of you can pick up a couple blue ribbons at the state fair. You have GOT to do this -- I want to see at LEAST a dozen blue ribbons and maybe another dozen red ribbons on my friends list next year.

Besides, don't you want to tell people that your mead won a blue ribbon at the state fair? (And some of the subcategories got almost no entries -- I don't think there was even one entry for French-style perry, for instance. I don't think there were THAT many melomels, either -- and I KNOW some of you do kickass melomel.)

Also, Fantasy Wargaming finally showed up. It sucks much less than I remember -- it's actually very good. I'm kind of disappointed . . .

I'm not certain, but I believe you're supposed to live in Essex county to compete.

Do they have a pie category? If they do, I'm all over that when I move back.

Shouldn't you be entering the beefcake category?
