    DC Picklers – Show Us Your Best Pickle

    Green beans. Cucumbers. Beets. Is there anything that isn’t improved with a good pickling brine?

    Well it’s time for DC picklers to show us what you’ve got. Do you have a delicious bread and butter pickle recipe that’s wowed your friends? Do you pickle your own onions to serve on sandwiches? Do you make your own kimchi? Enter your sour, salty, and/or sweet pickled creations in the DC State Fair Home-Made Pickle contest. Many thanks to GLiTTARAZZi, a DC-based social and gossip blog, for sponsoring. The winner will win a $50 gift certificate to 19th.

    You can enter the DC State Fair Home Made Pickle Contest here. While we’d love to know if your pickled items were grown in the District, it’s not a requirement of the contest. The deadline for entries is Thursday, August 26, so get your pickles going today!

    Strut Your Sweet Stuff – Enter Your Cupcake in the DC State Fair Cupcake Contest!

    More info on this contest is avilable in this Modern Domestic post.

    -JAY


    Inside the heart of every baker lies the soul of a diva. A competitor. A little voice that says “my cupcakes are the best.” Or maybe that’s just some of us.

    But admit it – I bet you make some pretty damn good cupcakes. So it’s time to show them off. The DC State Fair, which will be held on August 28th as part of Columbia Heights Day, is holding a cupcake contest. It’s where DC’s bakers can really strut their stuff and show what they can do with a mixer and a piping bag. Be creative and have fun with it!

    The winner of the cupcake contest will win fame, glory, and a delicious prize box of treats from Treet.
