Hi Here are ideas that were sent to me for the October 21, 2PM Food Network Hotluck from NJ: 1. Twister [TM!], obviously... 2. Try presenting six or more quick ideas around each topic in a how-to's with chiles presentation in one or more 4-5 minute segments: Themes -- - planting - harvesting - storing - preparation - cooking don't do's - cooking do's - recipes (eg stuff your own olives -- easy, quick, not complicated, "Oh, I never thought of that..." , "I'm not a good cook..." kinds of recipes) - url's (how much time do we have on the show?) 3. Webcast (great idea, but who would pay for this?) 4. How about a salsa contest. Lay out 20 or so different items chiles, tomato onion, mango etc.) and have selected contestants each pick 4 or 5 and make a salsa. Allow them to use any vinegar, oil or other liquid they want. Then have a taste test. Everybody who wants to participate bring all the ingredients and utensils they will need. Who would supply a winning prize? ******* Any favorites here? Any more ideas? Thanks in advance Karen E. Stober kstober@us.ibm.com
