[font=Palatino Linotype][color=#A0522D][size=7]Justitia Hungers[/size]
[size=4]Thanksgiving Feast Photo Contest[/size][/color][/font]
[/center]
[indent=1][i]So then, just as you received Justitia, continue to live in Her, rooted and built up in Her, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.

Let the peace of Justitia rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful.[/i][/indent]


Now is the time when the fortunate among us gather around family, friends, or those dear to us, and give thanks for the blessings in our lives. We mirror these blessings with bountiful feasts, and the fullness of stomach is our fullness of life.

The Thanksgiving Table is a labor of love, and the fruits of the cook's labor are a source of pride. Are you a cook? Wednesday and Thursday will you be putting together your famous such-and-such, which you have mastered over the years and bring out on this most glorious day of feasting?

This year, Justitia's Cult invites all culinary-inclined rulers to an open contest. We intend to host a photo contest wherein you may submit your masterpieces; your golden turkeys, your perfect pies, your savory sides. We ask: Who's Thanksgiving cuisine will reign supreme?

Categories are your turkey (or other centerpiece [i]entree[/i]), side dish, and dessert. Prizes will be awarded in tech, and entries will be judged by discerning Justitians.

To enter, we invite you to the Temple of Justice which is now located at ruiningthegam[b]e[/b].com . Apply for a mask in the Foreign Guests section. Three threads will be open in our Gardens, one for each category. Entry period will run through Sunday. Winners will be recognized on the OWF after Monday.

We hope you'll come out for a good time and hopefully a good show (I've seen some freakish turkeys in my day, so it could be awful, who can say?) Spread the word to your members if you can, all are welcome.

Oops, I forget every year. Canadians may submit their socialist feasts, too.

This should be exciting
[/quote] Not really. No one ever posts, so Thrash gets the tech by default.

And since no one entered in Turkeys, I declare myself god-king of Turkeys[img]http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/ff246/cndump/PB220092.jpg[/img]


Bill and Jack will each receive 100 tech, and I win the privilege of keeping 100 tech.

Oh I think Shatt has outdone himself!

Wait... isn't that a roasted quail surrounded by a kiddie tea set??? :P

J/k. Congrats to the winners... I will have to participate next year...

My TG consisted of a 7 day brined, slow roasted turkey with butter, olive oil, fresh rosemary and lemon spread under the skin; pancetta laced mashed taters baked with parmesan and garlic; homemade cranberry sauce; Turkey stock garlic infused gravy; a ceasar salad; garlic chedder biscuits; and a sourdough stuffing with portabella, !@#$ake mushrooms, a bunch of fresh herbs, giblet/neck meat, elk sausage and of course... BUTTER :P; huckleberry cream pie; chocolate Bourbon Pecan pie.

oo/ to next year :)

Sounds excellent! I gather you're a hunter?

I don't fool with brine. I found a method that uses cheesecloth over the turkey for all but the last 30 minutes (so the skin can brown) that keeps the meat so moist it will drip. I have to battle everyone in the family who has ever touched a pan every year because they don't understand it.
