A tempura-type batter would work pretty well, too. Many people use those very sour dill pickle chips meant for hamburgers, but I find them very sharp, and somehow, too green. I like kosher garlic dills the best, but that's not very southern of me!<BR/><BR/>Recipe #1: (This one sounds the best to me!) <A HREF="http://www.exploratorium.edu/cooking/pickles/recipe-fried_pickles.html" REL="nofollow">http://www.exploratorium.edu/cooking/pickles/recipe-fried_pickles.html</A><BR/><BR/>Recipe #2: Emeril's version... <A HREF="http://www.saltinstitute.org/friedpickles.html" REL="nofollow">http://www.saltinstitute.org/friedpickles.html</A>Caroliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11637418089860927715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8326557935285065813.post-29259068849261624822007-12-16T17:38:00.000-05:002007-12-16T17:38:00.000-05:00Shameless: I think plenty of ladies would love to...Shameless: I think plenty of ladies would love to be serenaded while cooking! :)<BR/><BR/>Szelsofa: I'm pleased with the creativity of the dishes... when I do this again (around the beginning of January), hopefully it'll be ingredients with which you're familiar! I know you're super-innovative, especially when it comes to fresh veggies.<BR/><BR/>Church Lady: As someone who really likes dill pickles, I think fried ones would be interesting to try. Carolie... how would you ideally make them? <BR/><BR/>tiv: That was so sweet of you to comment on our pic. I do love it, too. I should put one from our first Christmas together (when he was a baby.) I look haggard, but he looks good enough to eat!<BR/><BR/>Carolie: Ha! I was thinking, "What would I add if I could", too. But I think everything would work on some level, though perhaps not be as sweet or as springy as we'd ideally like. Still, that's the fun of the contest! :)<BR/><BR/>Saskia: I think an Iron Chef would actually be appalled at not having any "extras". Remember that when they make their creations, they have the opportunity to include all sorts of goodies, an unparalleled supply of spices, and the finest "stuff" from around the planet. So in my humble opinion, you ladies could compete any old day!The Quoiblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13632853309100258560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8326557935285065813.post-9745957564987874922007-12-16T16:28:00.000-05:002007-12-16T16:28:00.000-05:00I wonder what an Iron Chef would have made?Thanks...I wonder what an Iron Chef would have made?<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the contest, Angelique, it was fun :) <BR/><BR/>And thanks to the reviewers for calling my creation edible.

I have a feeling the souffles would do better with quite a bit more egg, and the pickles would be happier with a lot more bread crumbs and more egg (fried pickles are delicious, one of my favorite treats!) <BR/><BR/>The summer puddings would probably work well (as I've made something quite similiar), but would be tastier with a little added sugar and less buttermilk.Caroliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11637418089860927715noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8326557935285065813.post-32520664199986951952007-12-15T19:50:00.000-05:002007-12-15T19:50:00.000-05:00Congratulations Carolie.

Thank you so much for offering this clever contest, and for allowing me to babble on and on (thus avoiding things like cleaning the house, working for clients, or actually posting at my own blog)! My gratitude to the guest judges for their comments. I'd also like to thank my parents, my brothers... <BR/><BR/>Ooops, sorry about that. I tend to get carried away.<BR/><BR/>My charity of choice? Here are two...select the one which appeals to you more:<BR/><BR/>1. The Heifer Project -- providing livestock and training to teach poor communities around the world sustainable agricultural practices and help them regain self-sufficiency.<BR/><BR/>2. Purchase a gift or make a donation to your local foster child program.<BR/><BR/>Thanks again!Caroliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11637418089860927715noreply@blogger.com
