@heathen_cat @keirFox Something fun streaming baking on Twitch introduced me to was the greater Twitch baking community. A subset of that runs a monthly cooking challenge called "Kitchen Gladiator", primarily baking, but other cooking too.
I got asked if there was a prize for 'winning' and I was like "I...don't think there's winners." The point of a challenge is just to complete the challenge to be able to say you did. And in this case, maybe learn something new in the process -- like learning about making pasta some when making chocolate pasta, or even moreso making Irish brown bread and then turning that bread into the best bread pudding I've ever had in my life. The challenge for that month was just "Make Irish brown bread (flexible) and transform it". One person did Boston brown bread instead, other folks did other takes or boules with a stew. I liked the idea of bread pudding because I'd never really made it 'right' before.

@KayOhtie @heathen_cat @keirFox a non competitive food challenge? sounds fun! I poured my heart and over $100 into a pot of charro beans for a work competition with like 10 people and did not place. It really soured the whole experience of introducing Ohioans to this particular Tex-Mex dish.
