strawberry lime salsa Report from the Chicago-area Ribbon Whore

I entered six items in the Dupage County Fair this year. It was a very disappointing fair, not in terms of what I won, but because there were so few entries. In some cases, I was the only exhibitor. Applesauce

I entered four items in the Illinois State Fair this year. Entering the State Fair was new for me. The only downside is that if you win a rosette or a trophy, you can't enter that product next year. Since my fruit salsa won both, I can't enter a fruit salsa next year. I'll have to concentrate on making a blue-ribbon tomato salsa. (Mike was surprised it only got third place, but I think maybe it was too hot. The same salsa won blue at the county fair, but I think that judges in Springfield probably don't like their salsa as hot as Chicago-area judges.) Mike and I are planning now to make a trip down to Springfield so I can see what else was entered. Plus I can't figure out whether they'll mail me my ribbons and trophy, and as a full-fledged ribbon whore, I certainly want them. Anny * I don't suppose anyone would go to the Illinois Fair site to see the winners list, but just in case I suppose I ought to mention that Anny Middon is my nom de net. Kudos, congratulations and Maazel Tov! Boron

I entered six items in the Dupage County Fair this year. I entered four items in the Illinois State Fair this year. Congratulations on your successful entries! It is disappointing that there are so few people competing, but most of the people I know barely even cook, much less dabble in preserving. It's a shame, really. I am glad that those of you who do take the trouble are recognized for your efforts. gloria p
