The time has come. We have a winner and I know who it is!
That’s right somebody out there just won two Cookbooks from McCormick & Schmick’s Seafood Restaurants. It was an easy contest to enter. All you needed to do was leave a comment or like it on Facebook and I put you in the drawing.
So on to the results. Now I could just blurt it out right here couldn’t I? But how much fun would that be? Instead, I videotaped the drawing, live and all-in-one-take. Now I am going to make you watch the video to find out who won…HA! Imagine what this ingenious plot will do for my page view numbers…
Besides being fun, a video helps keep me honest. Not that you really needed to worry about that; but still it’s best to have all possible security measures in place.
So CLICK here to watch the Contest Results Video. Oh, and sometimes poor, sad Windows users have trouble accessing video on Sippity Sup if that’s you click on this link or go to the Video Archive tab at the very bottom this page. The top video should be McSchmick!. If you still have trouble go to my YouTube page via this link or straight to the YouTube file via this link.
If you STILL can’t view it, well leave me a message or a comment and I’ll email you the results!
And if that lucky winner is, or is not you, please do not let on in the comments section. Let’s keep the tension alive as long as possible. The last winner of one of these video drawing said she let out a scream when she heard her name called. Let’s let this winner experience that joy as well!
HA! made you look… now curse me out in the comment section below. GREG
I LOVE salmon- that looks delish! My absolute favorite salmon dish is linguine with smoked salmon. It’s definitely not healthy, but it tastes amazing!
This was quite a fascinating read. Embarrassingly, I use fennel all the time but was ignorant about the pollen and have never tried it. Boy have you got me curious now!!
I’m actually amazed at how you’ve managed to keep the salmon from flaking apart. That one the things need to figure out when cooking salmon.
I’ve never heard of using pollen as an ingredient before, I learn a lot here. Those salmon chunks look exquisite but that “ain’t nuthin’ but a G thing”, your dishes always are works of art.
Happy 4th, Greg.
These look just delicious and I LOVE wild fennel pollen. The one time I used it, I opened the container and started to sneeze (it’s pollen after all)…but I’m bound and determined to try again!
The pollen is an interesting ingredient and sounds like it would be a lovely seasoning. Did your source happen to mention whether those who are allergic to pollen can consume it? I just did a quick online search and there seems to be some differentiation between raw and cooked pollen — the latter may eliminate the reaction?
I can’t say for sure. But I have pollen reactions myself (remember my red eyes at camp blogaway) but I can’t say there was any problem with this ingredient. Though I’d ask an expert to be safe. GREG
Oh my, another ingredients to enjoy my stacks of condiments. I love your fluffy, yellow colored sand description. These kabobs look perfect for a barbecue this weekend.
