To be fair $900 a month was on the high end of what broke college fools would consider affordable.
$900 a month in 2006 was crazy my mom was paying $500 back then…but of course I’m not in Richmond
I remember when Mom used to pay $180 for lot rent so we could keep our trailer where it was for another month
Hell yeah. I mean, you could find all kinds art student holes with a bunch of bedrooms for like $600-$700. I miss the fuck outta those days.
So I took the Appalachia and transplanted them I to quarts.
Figured they’re probably gonna start getting hungry so I needed to get it done.
I should’ve just put them in 2 gallon or 4 gallon pots but eh it’ll be fine lol
Haha. What kinda cool whip container were those things in?
8oz chef containers lol
Or are they 4oz? I can’t remember
Confirmed they’re the 8oz ones
Way to repurpose some shit
I bought them to use for my ec3 entry, but it was a 50 pack lol. Figured I’d use them somehow. The work nice I’m the racks I use.
Soooooo I’m having internal conflicts. I need advice.
My idea was brilliant. I feel like we were well prepared, we executed perfectly and we delivered on time.
Judge feedback was released today and I’m not as happy as I thought I would be. Only 2 out of 14 judges were able to sample my entry because of the heat, allegedly.
Idk what kind of feedback the other folks in my category received but I’m feeling like I don’t deserve the baked goods win. Less scores to average made it way too easy and I don’t like that.
The notes were praising it, their scores were fantastic, but I just feel like it’s not a real win.
Im gonna try and make it right, but idk how far that’ll go. Not supposed to know who the judges are 🤷
I’m not giving the fucking medal back tho
Also some fucked up stuff. My topical potentially lost because of a typo
I have no way to prove it of course, but the scores have a random outlier to make me think it was lmao
Hey man shit happens that is out of our control, you have to ride the waves. Keep honing your craft and the recognition will come. I can tell you are really passionate about this one.
Did you see on IG WH was scolding the judges for being dicks?
I’m sure your canoli were legit. Sometimes the cookie crumbles in your favor. Or the canoli melts?
Yeah I read the feedback a buddy got and some of * it was not constructive
He had a lot that was great.
I can only imagine some of the stuff other folks got.
I can’t imagine being a dick. It wasn’t a huge event, no big bucks or deals with Berner. I can’t imagine having a stick up my ass.
Id secretly love to see the comments. It’s firmly none of my business, but if someone showed me I’d “omg, Becky” right along with them.
What was your entry and what place you hit?
Lmao, I did the exact same thing… homeboy was a psycho tho . Still worth it for that fresh champagne pow pow haha
I entered a deconstructed cannoli and it somehow came in first place
