There is this coil of chorizo in the top draw of the freezer. It is high quality stuff, purchased from Brindisa in Exmouth Market, but it has been sitting there for weeks, months even. "About bloody time you used it then" you yelp? Well, it is funny you should say that as I may have the perfect opportunity.
Waiter There's Something In My... is the new for '07 blog event run across Cooksister, Passionate Cook and here on Spittoon. I have the uncontrolled joy of announcing and hosting the first theme. It is going to be 'stews'. Yep, that simple and, as is the intention with Waiter There's Something In My, all inclusive.
What is required is your take on the humble stew - a local speciality or something traditional, something seasonal perhaps, something new and adventurous or a tried and tasted recipe, created with love and devoured with passion. It is the perfect time of year, in the Northern Hempisphere at least, for warming, slow cooked, hearty food.
Please email the URL of your entry by the 22nd January, include your blog's name, the name of the dish and your location to appear in the 'near the end of the month' write-up. Please make sure Waiter There Is Something is the subject line. Your write-up should, as is standard practice with these things, include a link back to this post.

i can't wait! especially since numerous people have suggested a goulash cook-off in the past which is the king of stews in central Europe... and I can't wait to see all the variations on the theme from far-away places - this is certainly going to be an interesting one!

What a lovely homecoming - to find that the baby event that you nurtured is taking its first steps - hurrah! I'll definitely be there on the 22nd and the weather really is right for stews at the moment. I have a pack of oxtail in my freezer that's crying out to be cooked...

I'm so pleased that the first event is the stew. Not only do I love cooking them but my father has his birthday at around that time and so shall be receiving said stew for his supper.

Hello Andrew, I found your blog through the link on Johanna's site. This event looks like it will be lots of fun and I look forward to participating. I don't cook stews very often so it'll be a great excuse for me to widen my repetoire. :)
I love that chorizo from Brindisa - actually I love all their chorizo!

I'll try and find time for this one - stews are a winter staple for me. I have so many recipes, I just need to find time to take a couple of photos for the event - none of which will be up to your high standards anyway - but at least I'll try!
Great theme for an event, by the way.

Wo-ho! I've got chorizos sitting in my fridge as well. And it's expiring next week, yikes! Gotta make some stew and submit to in your spanking new blog event. :) Great idea, Andrew, Jeanne and Johanna. You've answered my wish since I've been looking for an all embracing event ever after the demise of IMBB. :(

Many thanks everyone for your support and enthusiasm - encouraging that Waiter there is... has found its place so quickly. I think Johanna and Jeanne will be equally as pleased.

Great idea! I'm in! I hope it's okay to have posted before 22 January. (I really can't be expected to be exactly on time....)
