As I just recently the great entry at the blog The Girl Who Ate Everything on sandwiches I came to think about this contest and found this post on the results. I love it, and the flowchart is awesome. Also, I'm moving in January, to a place where I can grow tomatoes and lettuce, and thus I will complete this challenge next year myself. Better late than never ;) I read about the challenge this summer, but as it was too late for me to get anything going at that point (I live in Norway, and in a city, and don’t have access to a garden or (preferably) a greenhouse.

We just wandered in off the street and were captured by the look and aromas of what others were being served. Congratulations to sous chef Jerad.

It wasn't an official entry, but it deserves to have its praises sung. Home-cured bacon and home-grown lettuce and sun-dried tomatoes baked into loaves of wonderful bread. Lightly toasted and finished with heavenly garlic and sun-dried tomato aioli, it was unusual and irresistibly delicious (all the more wonderful for the aioli's inclusion of fresh eggs from the chickens of our friends, neighbors, and contest winners for photography, Rich and Sherri Zanteson). Take a look here: http://youlleatitandlikeit.blogspot.com/2009/08/blt-bread.html What a joy to take part in the challenge as an eater of the BLT's. The sharing of the process made us aware, with every single bite, of the provenance and special flavor of every ingredient.

I WILL NEVER GO BACK TO THE BOX!!!). Emma Kate, I hope you're proud, and your parents too - you did GREAT! And thank you for bringing awareness to wheat sensitivities - my daughter is your age and five years ago we found out she couldn't eat wheat - it's not a terrible sensitivity (not as bad as true Celiac), but it makes her feel pretty sick. Two years ago, she made a friend who is also not able to eat wheat, which has been a good thing for them both - they can sympathize with each other and trade recipes! It certainly changes how you eat and cook...but the more people know about it, the better! Just think of all those cool grains that get grown more now because people are becoming more aware...and think of all the creative cooking that's going on...PARTLY INSPIRED BY YOU!!!! So thank you, and good meals, good health, and the very best of luck to you and your family. (And PLEASE keep cooking and writing!)

To say Jerad passionately and lovingly does things the hard way is an understatement - the man will do almost anything in pursuit of flavour! Emma Kate, we were so touched by your entry. How intrepid you are! I hope one day our kids want to grow and make like you do. It's really nice to spend time with your Dad like that. Michael, I think this challenge was excellent for one two key reasons; first, when you grow tomatoes, cure bacon and bake bread from scratch, you sure as hell don't waste a bit of it. The second reason is that we got to eat these flavourful, crispy, oozing sandwiches, which were infinitely more delicious than those made with regular store-bought things. Thanks so much.
