My wallet is actually at $98.528 + $21 more to come after counting all the pending payouts!!! I'm confident that the minimum it will reach at end of year is 200SBD!!! Or maybe very much more... we have more than 3 months more to go before end of December...

As usual I am here to help you guys with some tips...

The last 3 weeks with the Tomatoes , Carrots and Beetroots theme, many entries really impressed our judge... Very high quality indeed!
Please keep on the same trend!

Be crazy, be inventive, well be creative...with the COURGETTE!!!

You can revisit a classic dish and put your own signature on it!

Visual is very important and knowing @progressivechef quite well...he loves plated dish made with care! Make it nice!!!
