Hello, hello! Celes Paradi is finally here, and with the extra guests that decided to "drop in" this year, we could really use some help getting everything ready for the big celebration.

Of course, we can't serve just anything to the Goddesses of Feast, Dance and Song. And to make a culinary faux pas with our Alien visitors could prove quite the diplomatic disaster for Menewsha. So we've prepared a little cooking contest to help assure that our old and new friends alike have only the best to eat and drink this year.

The three Overall Top Picks will receive one of the following medals each:

Fizzy and clear or thick and creamy; cold, refreshing or hot and steamy ~
If it's made for drinking, you should use this category.


Note: The mayor has asked that we don't serve alcohol this year, so please keep that in mind. :3

The Aliens' tastes are not our own, but what they like is yet unknown ~
For this category, dream up a dish to please our Alien guests. Anything you can imagine goes here!


Note: I won't expect these entries to appeal to human taste buds, so feel free to be wildly creative. :)

Q. What criteria are you using for judging?
A. For the sweet, savory and drinks categories I'm looking at effort going into the entry, how the final product looks (we will be serving Goddesses after all), and how I imagine it would taste. Bonus points if you can creatively adapt it to fit the theme. For the Alien category, I'm mostly looking for quirkiness. :)

Q. How will we know who won, & when will we get our prizes?
A. I will post a results thread in the Community Discussion Forum shortly* after the event ends. I'll send out prizes immediately after the thread is up. ;)
* I should add, "shortly," to me, is "within a few days"

Q. ACK! I made something & took a picture, but I forgot to put my username on it & now it's been eaten!
A. As long as it's something you made since we put up the pre-event threads (9/21), you may still be able to use it - if you can take a 2nd picture with your username that has enough of the same background elements (plate, counter, etc) that I can tell it's yours, I'll still accept it. Just please don't take advantage and submit stuff you made a long time ago. <3

    Ingredients:
    1 1/2 tbsp. Olive Oil
    1 chopped Onion
    1/2 tbsp. Minced Garlic (1-2 cloves) (Note: I used Garlic Salt/Powder and it tasted fine... >.>)
    2 cups Chicken Stock (Note: I used Chicken Broth, tasted fine.. just added some Oregano to mixture)
    1 14oz Can Crushed Tomatoes
    Kosher Salt and Ground Black Pepper
    1/2 cup Orzo (Note: I used broken-up spaghetti cuz Orzo tastes the same to me :P )
    1/2 cup heavy cream (Note: I used whole milk cuz i didn't have cream... )

    Heat Olive Oil over medium heat in a medium/large pot or dutch oven. Add the chopped onions and cook on med. low heat for 15 minutes or until golden colored. Add the garlic and cook for 1 more minute or so. Stir in the chicken stock, tomatoes, 1 tbsp. salt, 1 tsp. pepper (or whatever spices you think would go well :) I used some Mrs. Dash, and some cayenne, cuz I like a little bit of spice). Bring soup to a boil, lower heat and simmer for 15 minutes.

    While simmering, boil your orza or broken-up spaghetti (or any noodle preference really) for about 7 minutes. Drain and add to soup. Stir in the cream, cook for 10 more minutes, stirring frequently (so the noodles dont stick to pan). (Note: I also added an extra can of regular Tomato Soup to thicken it up a little, since I was low on supplies... It came out tasting great though )Let cool and enjoy! Great with shredded cheese on top and some yummy sour cream!

    Make your favorite grilled cheese combination to go with it! I made mine with wheat bread, shredded cheddar cheese, cracked pepper turkey slices and a slice of pepper jack cheese YUM
