    Default Re: Glass Haiku! Glass Jokes! Hey Slackers, make me a sammich!

    This is the stunningly delicious $7 soft shell crab sammich from Papa's Soul Food Kitchen which is ~150 yards from Cornerstones front door.

    This is the sandwich in question


    Here is my beautiful server presenting me with the noms.


    Here we are making a stop at Cornerstone!


    And here we are on the bench, ready to eat!
    I added the Boro olive and pimento skewer.


    For good measure with a few recent pieces.


    The recipe comes from Papa himself, the late Ted Lee. An amazing musical artist, his talent with musical instruments was only eclipsed by his talents in the kitchen.
    Here's Ted, singing with the late Brad Nowell (Lead singer of Sublime) in their band.

    It's amazing on many levels, but it also has the added appeal of being the sandwich I'd be eating during breaks from the torch at Cornerstone.


    The other games were fun and the prizes are REALLY cool, but this prize would be a game changer for me. And, while i'd LOVE to win any of the amazing peices that were donated, my real goal is to learn to make these things myself. Currently, My stuff is set up at a very good friends shop who has been tremendously helpful and supportive. Unfortunately, our schedules conflict and I'm lucky to get 5 hours a week on my torch. I am planning to move solely for the purpose of setting up my own home shop, but that is still a little ways away. If I were to win this, I would be getting more torch time in one day than I currently get in a week. As well as giving me MUCH more time to improve, it would allow me to network with more people in the community and help to cement a future in this amazing artistic medium.

    I'd be taking full advantage of the 24/7 shop access and use every second to improve and learn.
    Time is precious and irreplaceable. Winning this would give me the time behind the torch I need to grow.
    It truly has the possibility to be a life changing event.

    Also, I'd have an open invite to anyone from this incredible forum who's down to show me some tips or techniques.
