A big congratulations, Patrick! I can certainly see why you won and willingly stand aside with my own entry (this year!) You left your public wanting more, though; 101 words just whet the collective appetite, and you’ll see more of this reader. ET
Thank you, Ellen! I am already looking forward to reading your entry!
Fantabulous! Congrats!
Thank you! Looking forward to the dinner (I think) I won…
Keep us posted!
I will try to remember to act like a foodie and take a picture of whatever it is I eat.
