Shameless Plug: I have entered the Ile de France 2009 Spring Recipe Contest and I need your votes! Please visit the Ile de France website and rate my entries:

Brunch Brie Strata by Renee (okay, they wrote Rennee):

and Spring Brie Mini-Sub by Renee (it really irks me to have to type “Rennee” – it’s unnatural).

Here’s the link: http://www.iledefrancecheese.com/blog/

Voting is points-based (rating 1-5), with the top 3 point totals, winning. The contest runs all through the month of May, so vote early and often! I would love to Walk away with some cheese!

I’d give you the individual page links, but they keep moving. Dammit. Anyway, there are only 39 entries and these are 2 of them.

I’d also like you to vote for my partner in crime, or cheese in this case, Miz Shoes. Her recipe is titled “Chicken Chevre by Lynne”. She was the one who was originally approached to participate in this contest, and, well, my competitive cooking nature possessed me, and well, here we are…

I will flesh out this post tonight – I might even make it coherent – and will add photos…. provided I don’t get caught doing this right now and get my ass fired!

Okay, I’ve kept this promise. And they haven’t fired me. Yet.

Anyway, please go vote!
