This is what I posted in Best of...

You know me, pulling up the rear.
I hate having to narrow my choices down to two - with the variety of cuisines AND courses we tried, this is close to impossible. But, I'll try!
I really loved the simplicity of
Roasted Peaches With Goat Cheese and Honey. It is a WOWSER for your tastebuds!
And this is decadent beyond compare -
Killarney Fudge Pie! So rich and delicious that it should be illegal!
(Ha ha - I got a new placemat, for summer photos...looks like I've gotten my $$ worth!

)
As an honorable mention - someone already chose 1 of the entrees that I enjoyed the most (
Chicken With Jalapeno Popper Sauce) - the sauce is good enough to eat by itself...
The
Jammin' Jazzberries - where to start?
HokiesMOM (nee LADY

) was a
huge help and the storyteller for our team. She took on challenges, all the while sending DD#2 off to college, DS back to HS and
really being there when DD#1 gave birth to her new Grandbaby!
BigbadBrenda isn't big or bad, but she was a cooking wiz, and she checked, double checked and triple checked, to make sure we were on top of things and heading in the right direction!
Dienia B. IS A COOKING MACHINE! She jumped on challenges, made scads of recipes and dealt with computer problems (like the rest of us

.) Her DH is a lucky man, as she caters to his tastes alot!
AZPARZYCH somehow managed to hang with us the whole tour, despite having a Jammin' Jazzberry baby, just last month. I'm not sure I could have done the same...Madalynn Mae is now an honorary Jazzberry, for life!
Cookgirl was a big help, tackling recipes and shooting stunning pictures, while experimenting with her new camera.
Elainemay took on challenges, and made quite a few recipes. As a missionary, I admire and respect her dedication and feel we were lucky to have her on our team!
JanuaryBride had many things going on during the tour, but she was regular as rain, making delicious looking dishes and pitching in with great ideas.
Chef PotPie somehow fit in ZWT while planning and executing her daughter's wedding. She's crafty, the bride was beautiful and her dishes were mouthwatering!
I'm lucky to have been included with the nicest bunch of ladies, some that I've known, some that I know better, now. I don't necessarily 'like' to try new things, but I've tried to be better about expanding my horizons. ZWT definitely fits that bill.
A special Thank You to the Hosts. There is so much that goes on behind the scenes that goes unnoticed. Thank you for being Johnny-on-the-Spot and answering all 'silly' questions and even transferring scoring reports. (<<--That really kept crying to a minimum.

) My hat is off to ya'll!

I'm off to ask for a reminder for ZWT9. Thanks for the memories, ya'll!
