Maria June 2, 2009 at 2:35 pm

WOW~!!

Or do i have to go on the website thing?

bruleeblog June 2, 2009 at 2:47 pm

U.S. only. :(

Stephanie June 2, 2009 at 3:32 pm

Best food fight option is to stock up on bread products! They make the best projectiles without leaving you messy like mashed potaoes do. I have 3 younger brothers….I know!!!!!

The Duo Dishes June 2, 2009 at 4:00 pm

But of course! This would be a vacay to trump them all.

Lee June 2, 2009 at 4:29 pm

Have never been to the Dominican Republic, so it would be a wonderful treat to experience a new place plus cooking lessons from renowned chefs.

Joyce Lee June 2, 2009 at 5:04 pm

me me me me me me! HAHA! i <3 u Jaden!

Holly June 2, 2009 at 7:02 pm

Thanks for such a great giveaway Jaden! Headed to enter now but I just had to tell you how perfectly awesome your boys look in that picture where they are such buddies!

Jee June 2, 2009 at 10:48 pm

Jaden, you TOTALLY ROCK!!
I entered for the fun of it even though I’m not sure whether I’ll be able to make it or not… (being in school sucks – especially on occasions like these)
I love the Korean BBQ on wonton crisp recipe -
I’m gonna try the crispy wonton recipe with my mom’s infamous Korean BBQ pork recipe. :)
Yummm…

Thank you Jee! You can always give away the prize if you win! ~j

zimmom June 3, 2009 at 12:14 am

loved your brocoli with beef recipe and look forward to trying out more recipes this summer!

momgateway June 3, 2009 at 4:01 am

Love your wonderful giveaway even if I don’t win, someone will really have a lot of fun!

Truc June 3, 2009 at 4:17 am

Kosher pickles or hotdogs! I just think it’s funny to throw phallic looking objects at people!

zimmom June 3, 2009 at 11:42 am

club med… would love to go, but for a food and wine festival, would be over the moon to win!

Sara June 3, 2009 at 11:47 am

I think my jaw just dropped. This is certainly the most amazing giveaway I’ve ever seen!

dena June 3, 2009 at 12:50 pm

The vacations starts on Yom Kipuur, the most important Jewish holiday! There’s no way I can go, not to mention many other blog fans. Who picked the dates for the contest?

gertrude June 3, 2009 at 3:35 pm

I am on person who never win anything. I am going to try my luck again. It would be nice to win this. My husband and I really need a vacation.

Chez US June 3, 2009 at 7:59 pm

Boy, could we use a vacay somewhere warm and sunny – I would even have a food fight for them!!

Anne B. June 4, 2009 at 3:46 am

Best food fight tip…..duck!

Justopia June 4, 2009 at 8:11 am

Sticky is key. Load up a tortilla with guacamole for a guac-bomb. It can easily stick to a forehead and become a vehicle for someone to help lick off, gracefully, of course. And voila! A new Club Med friendship is born. Honey on a sopapilla would work quite well for a sweeter effect. :)

Evelyn June 4, 2009 at 8:39 am

what a fantastic giveaway!!

anna June 4, 2009 at 11:31 am

Arg, I was all like “oh I should get in on this” but I’ll be in pastry school and my goal is to not miss any classes. So no vacation-entering for me. :(

Teenage Glutster June 4, 2009 at 3:00 pm

This would be a turning point in my life–as a whole–seriously.

and food fight?

over-cooked spaghetti man in super sweet sauce, sweet starch-snowballs as I like to call them, don’t ask how.

:D

Susan June 4, 2009 at 5:21 pm

Wow.. that is awesome!!

Jean June 4, 2009 at 5:50 pm

Cherry tomatoes…awesome amunition!!!

Mary June 4, 2009 at 6:47 pm

this would be heavenly!!

amy hoang June 5, 2009 at 11:41 am

Ask if anyone would like a taste of your cream pie. If you get a positive response, pick up some cream pie with your hand and toss it over to the person making the request.

A June 5, 2009 at 11:49 am

Is the something wrong with the website to enter into the contest? I have tried at least 10 times today and it will not allow me to access.

It seems their site is down?! I don’t know but I’ll try to find out. ~jaden

Radka June 5, 2009 at 2:18 pm

Wow, I thought there would be hundreds of people submitting their comments every day. Maybe luck will smile at us. Thank you, Jaden!

Kat June 5, 2009 at 2:34 pm

Wow, this is near my anniversary!!

The best for a buffet food fight is cocktail shrimp dipped in spicy cocktail sauce!

kristine June 5, 2009 at 3:34 pm

Is this going to be a random draw? Or should I get super creative?

deborah June 5, 2009 at 8:58 pm

I’ve been waiting to enter since I saw you chatting it up on Twitter last month! And I end up being away from home when you offer this fab trip!
Oh, let it be me…please?

Stephanie S. June 6, 2009 at 3:31 am

I commented and added Kate as a Twitter friend!

SusanR June 6, 2009 at 5:17 pm

Pomegranite seeds make awesome split balls shot through a straw!

Michelle Machado June 7, 2009 at 1:17 pm

That is right around my 10yr wedding anniversary. Would love to surprise the hubby. We are total foodies, and never get vacations. Please let it be us!

lydster74 June 8, 2009 at 2:14 am

This is so cool! And waffles fly pretty well.

flfarmgirl June 8, 2009 at 6:08 am

A vacation would be nice……hmmmm, a vacation centered around food and wine would be over the top! I need one. Thanks!

Carole June 8, 2009 at 6:14 am

Holy cow, what a giveaway! I’d blog from the resort/event on a daily basis (yes, I’m that much of a geek, but I’ve done it in the past – see my website).

Remember that food fight scene in the movie, Animal House? When Belushi puts a huge cottage cheese ball in his mouth, turns to his friends and mutters, “See if you can guess what I am now?”

They look at him quizically, convinced he’s insane. Like missles, his hands slap his cheeks and the food explodes out of his mouth. Nothin’ like a warm splattering of cottage cheese. Ew!

He triumphantly tells them, “I’m a zit. Get it?”

Suzanne June 8, 2009 at 7:59 pm

This looks too fabulous for words, my hips would love it!!!

deborah June 8, 2009 at 11:40 pm

I so want to win this fab vacation give-away…let it be me! I could use a vacation like nobody’s business :)

Janet June 9, 2009 at 12:19 pm

oh man, I could so use a vacation!!!

Christy June 9, 2009 at 2:45 pm

Definitely frozen grapes – they make great projectiles.

Carlene June 9, 2009 at 3:52 pm

Marshmallows, dipped in honey, covered with sesame seeds. What a wonderful give- away….I could soooo use a vacation.!

deborah June 10, 2009 at 2:16 am

Another day closer to Club Med Baby! :)

curiouslynx June 10, 2009 at 10:22 am

Large cans of whip cream.

leah June 11, 2009 at 5:43 pm

AWSOME Vacation! -Congrats on the book.

DeWitt June 12, 2009 at 12:18 pm

Club Med? YEAH! The wife and I need this.

Charm June 15, 2009 at 2:54 am

Your recipes have been a GOD-send to me! I tried the Pho recipe and it was fabulous! You don’t know how much I miss eating such great Asian food! West Texas sucks! I highly DON’T recommend it!

Club Med? Is it sad that I’ve only heard about it once before this? Good review of course…but that’s how much my little town sucks. You make it sound unbelievably amazing though! Congrats to the people who win!

Charm June 15, 2009 at 11:01 am

I would make the ground as slick as possible with melted butter for lobster as my starting point. Bringing them down is half the battle! Then you have to get ‘em where it hurts! Hard-boiled egg grenades need to be hurled everywhere. Pudding needs to be flung at any and every moving target…right in the face preferably. Gotta get them to where they can’t see the butter on the floor. Then I’d take some rolls, sliced enough to fill them up with the thickest sludge (a.k.a more pudding or gravy–and NOT the white stuff! It’s gotta be brown!), and then dunk them in water before hurling them everywhere! Apples are a deadly weapon, and should only be used on snotty evil people who act like they’re better than you. Mashed potatoes should be tossed by buttered hands and wiped ruthlessly on surprised oponents. And lastly, hawaiian punch or whatever colorful drink should be used to “wash” everything down! …and um…no…I’ve never been in a food fight! *wink*

Charm June 15, 2009 at 11:04 am

…Just wanted to share my food fight scenario. I kinda want to have one now! *lol*

Dawn in CA June 15, 2009 at 1:40 pm

Waiting, waiting, waiting… ;)
