Hey guys!

So as lots of you will know, we have a yearly cooking competition here on /ck/, where people cook and present dishes according to themes which are then rated by other people taking part or just observing.

I've been in contact with a few of the competition regulars and we thought it'd be cool to up the anti a bit. Because some trolls decided to try their best to ruin the last one, we were thinking of maybe adding in a panel of 'official' judges (no spoilers but we know of someone pretty well known in the cooking industry who'd be willing to take part!), who will verify their scores with timestamps. We could keep the public vote too, but the winner of the judges votes will win the prizes.

And the other thing we were looking at changing were the prizes themselves. As a thanks to the people spending money and putting time in to this, I was thinking of pushing out the boat a bit. And if they encouraged more people to take part, that would be all the better.

Anyway, feedback would be appreciated. As well as new ideas you guys have.

>Pretty much the only candy store for miles, used to have high quality shit back then, but fell when people stopped traveling and workers were leaving
>Shit pay as expected
>Hired on the spot because fuck this store is doing poorly
>They have shitty ways of making candies
>One candy they make is called "Carolina Gems" and as hard as fucking diamonds and barely ever dissolves in your mouth, taste is barely there
>Turns out it's made with shitty artificial lemon/line juices dried into powder, and only a few ml of trace amounts of tropical fruits all crystallized in a potassium and water mixture tub for at least 4-6 weeks
>I was given the task to harvest the sharp fuckers from the mesh they had suspended in the tub
>The whole mesh was completely covered in crystals that were impossible to take off by hand
>Had to use a hammer and nail to chisel off the meshes
>The smell was meh so I decide to try a piece
>Nearly cut my cheek and chipped my tooth
>No sweetness what so ever
>Asked if the previous makers ever put sugar in it
>Says crystals don't form correctly if they throw sugar in it
>So I thought of a better way; put sugar in the crystals half way through their formations, maybe even break off a few pieces to fit the sugars and maybe even food dyes to give the candy personality
>This also softens the candies up a little bit, so they dissolve better in your mouth
>More people began coming back once this stores signature candy started tasting better

Cheap food.
Chicken tacos. 1 pound of chicken breasts, packet of seasoning (I'm a slug), some corn tortillas... like $4.

Salad mix for $5 at the farmer's market lasts nearly all week long. Add $4 of cherry tomatoes from the tomato guy

Bean and cheese burritos... eggs... steamed veggies...

So I've always used the same recipe for banana bread, but this time I wanted it to be fluffier and lighter, so I added some milk, one more banana, and whisked it quite a bit to add some air to the batter. And it did raise a lot, well over the mould rim, however after I took it out to cool, it "deinflated" and ended up flat. What can I do to avoid this?
