Ilva, I hope it's ok to use plain or cherry tomatoes instead of plum tomatoes? It's nowhere near tomato season here and the only tomatoes available at the moment and tasteless cherry ones or tasteless 'plain' tomatoes

Pille-Sure thing! as close as you can get is enough when it comes to varieties like this!

hehe, where as my problem might be the swede! We have loads of delicious ripe roma tomatoes, wish I could beam you some Pille!
Yay! so pleased to have Paperchef return!! Thanks again Ilva

Oooh I'm so excited. I am very wisely using my time at work today to plan out my recipe!

Hmmm... this looks like a good time to try PC again after a long hiatus... the wheels in my brain are turning...

I'm there Ilva! I haven't participated since way back when, but since you are always an inspiration to me, I can't miss it! (besides, LB is out of town this weekend so I've got lots of cooking time on my hands!!) xoxo

Oh my god!!! I have to participate! I have never purchased a rutabega (and I'm not even sure I can identify one!!).
(Can you tell from my overuse of exclamation marks that I'm a little excited?)

It will be great fun to see what people come up with. I don't eat potatoes at all and bacon, not so much either, so I will have to pass this time. But I will be cheering everyone from the sidelines.

My secret plan has come to fruition! I may have had no time to RUN Paper Chef but now I can ENTER!!!

(OK maybe not - but I live in hope - anything can happen by the weekend - I could get laid off - and then I'd have a silver Paper Chef lining (mind you - I hope not!))

But I can dream.....

Wow, I'm very proud on behalf of my fellow countrymen and the mighty rutabaga ("kålrot" in Swedish). I'll sure try to make it justice!

bron-It would be a problem for me too to find a swede here! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you!

Dana-Isn't that what work is for?

Ann-good!

michelle-thanks, I bet you will come up with something great!

Kritsa-I love enthusiasm so go out and get yourself a rutabaga! NOW!

Kalyn-Good but next time....

Owen-try! But I plan to participate when I'm not the judge, you think that would be unethical???

Gòrel-and it was all done by a random number generator, it must be a sign that you MUST participate!

Oh Ilva this strikes fear in my heart. I don't even get home until Sunday.

Umm, sorry to be dense, but what is "CET"? How does it differ from Greenwich? (so I can figure out how it differs from my time zone...)

tricia-Central European Time, add 1 hour to GMT. But I'll accept entries until I'm ready with the roundup on Tuesday so there's some extra time.
