Contest #3 -- Christopher Kimball in Mobtown
In Contest #3, you were asked to imagine Christopher Kimball's "Cooks Illustrated" editorial after a year of his relocation from his beloved Vermont to Baltimore.
What was I thinking?
I promise promise promise that I will make the weekly contest into an actually fun and contestable thing beginning this Wednesday
Hey, but you know, what -- the two entries we got for Contest #3 have me regretting nien rien <good grief!>
The piece by clairecarton was amazing, and, fortunately, it was over the maximum length, which makes declaring theminxs entry the winner a whole lot easier.
Congratulations, theminx!
Come back Wednesday for Contest #4. PLEASE.

Umm -- so what is the "suitable prize" that theminx will receive?
I want it to be special, and Kimballesque, and weird. I've been on Ebay for hours

Oh, and if you're channeling Edith Piaf, you should be regretting rien, not nien (which sounds like something best left for the Germans in occupied Paris).
ugh! I "nien" was in the Times puzzle the other day, which is why....oh, I am trays embarrysant!

Sessa? Is that you, Sessa? What are you doing out here? This meeting is for closers. Get back in your office, editor boy. Mitch and Murray paid good money for your ledes. You can't sell these ledes, then hit the bricks pal.

You just cost me $6,000. $6,000 and one Cadillac. That's right. What are you going to do about it? ... Whoever told you that you could work with men? I'm going downtown to talk to Mitch and Murray!

I am tired of your caterwallin' and fussin' Mr. Anon. We all know why Sam Sessa isn't at his old blog no more. I'll tell you. Because the rent's too damn high!
