The buffet line

It’s the end of the day and I think I speak for everyone when I say that I don’t think I’ll be injesting any sugar for a little while. And this is me (I have a pretty controlling sweet tooth), so you can just imagine how any normal person feels.

It would seem as though Uncle Marxy’s World Famous Chocolate Chip Cookies are now Uncle Marxy’s Award-Winning, World Famous Chocolate Chip Cookies. We don’t know how he does it, but Matt’s won again. He wins everything! Truthfully, those cookies were pretty darn good, but I think we’ll still wait for the indepentdent performance enhancing drug test to come in.

Everything was delicious and the vote was very close. We had a five-way tie until the last vote, so a big congrats to all of our entrants. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I think I’m coming down from my sugar high, so I need a nap.

Steve the Pirate from Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story

September 19th is International Talk Like A Pirate Day. In honor of this, let me provide you with a couple of tools. Click here to visit the Official International Talk Like A Pirate Day Web site. But, first I recommend having some fun by discovering your very own pirate name. Click here to visit the Pirate Name Generator. It’s really easy. So easy, in fact, that it only took me three minutes to research my co-worker’s pirate names! Want to see them? Follow the jump…

It’s time for the Merlot Marketing Semi-Annual Bake Off! And the competition is fierce. At noon, we’ll be judging all of the entries and voting for our favorites, so stay tuned because we’ll announce the winner later. The rules for this competition are very simple: Everything must be made from scratch (no boxed mixes), and must have been baked in an oven. The entries don’t have to be sweets. As long as they were baked in an oven, they qualify.

There a lot on the line today. Mostly pride. Although for me, it’s a little more than pride. It’s also my title. I’ve won the last two baking competitions, so a win for me today would mean a hat trick. I’ve never had a hat trick before, so I’m hoping my entry will solidify my place in Merlot baking history. 

Hungry? You will be. A list of all of the entries is after the jump…
