I got it yesterday in the snail mail. I live 50 miles South of the Royal, so it comes by first, maybe!

Cal,

Congrats. Are you cooking the invitational or the open?

Jer

Good Luck to all that are cooking the Royal, invitational or open. Kick some butt.

Wow Cal...nice way to kick off your first year as a competition cook! Hope you tear it up and have a blast. Good luck!

cal,you make us proud,along with the many FEC cooks there.

Just remember,"when you visit the Dark Side,it is hard to find your way out"

After these past two weeks I need a lot of help !!!

I was told when I registered that I could get 789 or 798 if i registered for it today so I did. $1,800 later I get 258 according to the letter in the mail and the new map doesn't even show space 789 any longer....

I will be calling on Tuesday. I don't have a lot of tolerance for partying neighbors....

Well... bring your earplugs...

There's a lot of partying in every lot... but at least Lot B shuts down early...

And at 258 you're under the overpass... so cover if it rains... (trying to look on the bright side!

The Bright side is we're (you and me and Chris) are going to The Royal!

We are in site 646.

Gonna do both, since I'm there for the Invitational.

Thanks Tom, I'll take my bottle of wine to sip and leave the dark side to those that want to see the circus.

Hey David!,

I've struggled a little the last two times out,ya know, trying to over think things. I'm gonna cook the way I practiced for a few months and if it doesn't work...well, there's always next year and another comp too cook. My CS teacher taught me to be methodic about my cooking and I think he was probably correct...lesson learned, should have listened to a GREAT cook to start with.

I agree with you. I'm going to Yates Center this weekend to just re-concentrate on the basics and help them get their teams. I think they are in dire need of teams.

I've got the Sam's Regional the week before the Royal and I have to be in tune before the royal.

cal,keep in mind to stay consistent.

There is always a chance that a judge will do something like sausage and dessert,as well as the main four.

Also,TC may well have to do judging at their table,so maybe many,many categories to judge.

Quality may well be at a premium.

Think a dozen items to judge.

Remember why you are there.

Focus,focus,focus.

Look at it as an experience-not "the best of the best",altho the good cooks will often drift towards the top.

I have confidence in you!

Learn something and keep moving ahead.
