FYI...this has been a fattening challenge. I have been experimenting with sausage, bacon and pork over the last few weeks...but I believe I have come up with a possibility. My coworkers have been my happy guinea pigs...oops...samplers. [Clare: June 16, 13:35]
I have tried 4 recipes so far. Four losers. When I described the ingredients for my latest attempt, Harold said he would have a can of soup. One more recipe today... Jane [Jane: June 21, 04:11]

Competitors: Clare, Greg, Judy, Megan K., Sean+Amy, Nan
Judges: Emily Kenyon, Kay, Dave K., Tom, Donna
Quick Fire Challenge Rules
Have Fun!
You have 60 minutes from the time the secret ingredients are provided to you to complete your dish. You must use all of the secret ingredients in your dish. You can use other ingredients that you have on hand or can obtain within the time frame provided. (Hint: You can get someone to be a "runner" stationed at a store to pick up any ingredients you decide you might want to use once you see the required ingredients --- of course your runner needs to be back in time for you to incorporate the ingredients into your dish!)
Secret ingredients will be passed out at 9am at Jo & Dave's. Contestants must return by 10am with completed dish.
