Last week, a tipsy Irishman challenged me to a lasagna contest.
"HA!" I said.
"What? I'm serious. My lasagna can beat your lasagna. Any time, any place."
I laughed an evil laugh and tapped the shoulders of two friends standing by. They leaned in to listen.
"This man," I said and pointed at the Irishman. "Who, let's remember, once admitted to making grey mashed potatoes on Thanksgiving, just challenged me to a lasagna contest."
M laughed. J groaned and shook his head.
"Dude. That's stupid. She's the best cook I know," said M.
"Thank you," I said.
"I'm telling you. My lasagna is amazing. It'll kill yours," my challenger said.
"Bring it," I said.
J rolled his eyes. "You know, after the lasagna contest he'll challenge you to a dance contest."
"Oh no, you're the dance expert. That, I'll leave to you."
At what challenge do you know you can't be beaten?

I can't think of one (I always assume I'll be beaten), BUT, having been lasagna-deprived for far too long, if you need a judge, I'm SO there!
ReplyDeleteCooking. Anything except lasagna. ;-) I make the world's best carrot cake and rugelahs, and many other things. Just not lasagna.
ReplyDeleteMaybe an oatmeal cookie baking contest?
ReplyDeleteI'll do a lasagne cook-off with you sometime. Really.
ReplyDeleteI might also consider a meatloaf contest.
Who is this foolish mortal who dares to challenge your cooking?!
ReplyDeleteI can't think of anything at the moment...but there HAS to be something! I'll have to think about it. :)
I had some pepperoni lasagna once that was awesome. I wish I'd gotten the recipe at the time.
ReplyDeleteHow I'd love some of your lasagna!
ReplyDeleteUmmm, I wish I had an awesome talent! Maybe who can get to the front row of a concert first? :) Or make someone laugh first?
I can save more money than anyone at the supermarket! My receipt tells me I've saved over $1800 this year. Now THAT is talent! Ha!
ReplyDeleteI can eat lasagna better than just about anyone! In fact I could be a Suzie's Lasagna Throwdown judge...except I don't eat grey food (so I could only eat yours)...and then there's the 2000 mile drive.
ReplyDeleteI can kill even the hardiest houseplant. Without even trying. And faster than anyone else.
ReplyDeleteI can win any debate. Well, ALMOST any debate.
ReplyDeleteI can crock-pot just about anything, even bread.
