Many thanks to guest judge @shady for giving us this great theme, and for awarding the prizes despite it being super difficult to choose! She was a little concerned participants who didn't win would be offended, as she acknowledged each entry was prepared with love and wishes she could reward you all. So very kindly @shady has provided us with an additional bonus prize of 5 SBD, which means at least that's one less person who'll feel disappointed! I do hope you all enjoyed the challenge and are impressed with your own creations regardless of prizes... you should be, they were all wonderful!
For this week's theme #40 please see this post here. It's a good 'un!
If any of you would like the chance to be guest judge, please contact me via Steemit.Chat and let me know your choice of theme. If I end up with lots of you giving me themes I might have to queue you! That's the easy bit, though picking winners is not quite as easy since we get so many awesome entries every week. But if you think you'd like to do it, and are able to commit an hour or two of your time on a Wednesday to choose winners after the deadline is up, then I'll be only too happy to have you :-)
For those of you who have never entered this challenge before - it's very easy! We have a different theme each week, and all you have to do is prepare a dish appropriate for the theme, and also ensure you follow the general rules of the challenge (which are in every 'new theme' post). You don't have to be a master chef - just try to be creative with your recipes and take beautiful photos, since unfortunately we can't taste the entries so you must help us do this with our imaginations! Original recipes are encouraged, but you may use someone else's recipe as long as you credit the original source.
