Royal Foodie Joust Winner – January 2008
This is our first Royal Foodie Joust of the year! We had a very special list of required ingredients – perfect for the holiday season: Pomegranate, Mint and Pistachios. Not only are the colors beautiful in a dish, but the ingredients seasonal in much of the world at this time. These ingredients were chosen by Emiline at Sugar Plum, last month’s winner. Every month it seems the ingredients for The Joust get more an more challenging and I am always impressed with how many are up for he challenge. Due to this, 2 months ago I decided that the winner of each month will win a personalized apron as first prize! So please do not miss your chance this month to participate, flex your foodie muscles and win yourself a very cool apron. To learn more about how to participate in the monthly Royal Foodie Joust, please visit the Leftover Queen Forum.
Now for this month’s winner – to start of the new year.

Congratulations everyone! All those dishes look delicious.
I will try this month to participate again. It is so much fun and one gets to meet such wonderful people. Besides I am running out of excuses to stay away from the kitchen :-p

Hi all! Thanks for the congrats. Due to the time difference (I’m like 12 hours AHEAD of Jen,) I was asleep when the announcement was made and of course Jen would have been asleep when I replied! So hopefully all will be revealed soon! Just as a time check, it is 4.28pm on the 8th as I type this. Wonder what the time stamp will show….
