re: Clash of the Cooks jambalaya cookoff on campus

If you cook your jambalaya the way you want to cook it and are satisfied with how it turns out, then that in itself should be enough for your own satisfaction. Winning the blue ribbon shouldn’t be the goal. It should be donating your qualifications, time and effort for the cause and realizing the help you are providing actually helps people. I’m sure the guy spent as much money buying par boiled rice, bacon, beef and mushrooms as you did, so why discount him if he is in this for the same reason?

VFW is the official tune up event
