Vote for me!

[staceye]

Hey gang-

I don't post very often, but I am an extremely dedicated lurker. I happened to enter the Reader's Recipe Contest at Epicurious.com for May - Best Vegetarian Recipe. I am a finalist!! So now I'm shamelessly asking for your vote. You can vote at the following site:

www.epicurious.com/ten (http://www.epicurious.com/ten)

Click on "Vote for your favorite vegetarian recipe." My recipe is the "Mediterranean Stuffed Peppers" close to the bottom of the list. Here's the recipe in case you're interested:

MEDITERRANEAN STUFFED PEPPERS
I developed this recipe after tasting something similar at a local Greek restaurant. Although it requires some preparation (such as cooked rice and lentils), I like it because the finished product is a complete and hearty meal.

4 large bell peppers, halved lengthwise and seeded

Stuffing:
2 cups cooked white rice
2 tablespoons pine nuts, toasted
2 green onions, chopped
¼ cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley, divided
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
1 cup grated zucchini
1 cup thinly sliced baby spinach
1 tablespoon olive oil
Juice of 1 lemon
1 teaspoon salt
Freshly ground black pepper to taste

3 cups fresh green beans, trimmed
½ cup tomato juice

Sauce:
1 ½ cups cooked lentils
1 14 oz. can fire-roasted diced tomatoes (such as Muir Glen)
½ cup vegetable broth
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teasoon salt

½ cup crumbled feta cheese

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

Place peppers cut side down in a single layer in a large casserole dish or roasting pan coated with cooking spray. Roast for 25-30 minutes until soft and starting to brown.

Meanwhile, set aside 2 tablespoons of chopped parsley and then combine stuffing ingredients (rice through black pepper) in a large bowl. Mix well.

When peppers are done, remove from casserole and set aside to cool. Reduce oven temperature to 350 degrees. Place green beans in bottom of roasting pan or casserole dish in a single layer. Pour tomato juice over beans.

Divide stuffing mixture evenly among the roasted pepper halves and place on top of the green beans in pan. Cover the pan with foil and bake at 350 degrees for 35-45 minutes, until green beans are soft.

Meanwhile, place lentils, canned tomatoes, vegetable broth, oregano, and salt in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil on high heat then turn heat to low and simmer sauce until slightly reduced, 15-20 minutes. Cover and keep warm until peppers are done.

Place two pepper halves on each of four plates surrounded by the cooked green beans from the bottom of the pan. Ladle about ½ C. of the lentil sauce over the peppers. Top each serving with two tablespoons of crumbled feta and the reserved chopped parsley.

Makes 4 servings.

Thanks so much!! Oh, and you can vote every day... :)

Your recipe sounds very good. I voted for it too.

If you bump this up daily more people should see it.

[oceanjasper]

I voted for you too. Didn't even look at the other recipes. :)

[staceye]

Thanks, guys. I promise not to bump too often, as I'm a firm believer in the democratic process.


But mine's the best... :D

[sarah louise]

I voted for you! -sarah

[CL addict]

Of course we will vote for you, extremely dedicated lurker!;) Congratulations on becoming a finalist. That's an accomplishment in itself. What is the reward if you win?

[staceye]

I believe the prize is some fancy KitchenAid microwave. Plus, of course, my 15 minutes of online-recipe-website fame.

[catharine]

I voted for you. Good luck!

[Goin' Coastal]

I voted for you, too. But I see there are 2 recipes ahead of you right now. Hopefully you will get more votes! Good Luck!

I voted for you! But it's 3 a.m. so I won't be able to vote again for a while :( I'm with madpots - bump this up so we remember! (My excuse is a newborn, which is why I'm up at 3 a.m. ...)

[dlaboriel]

It's time to vote again:) Remember this is one of the few times that you can vote as many times as you want, at least once a day. Well over 700 people viewed this thread, but Staceye is still at a little over 13%. Come on ya'll, let's put one of our own over the top and help her win that appliance.

Sincerely,
The Self Appointed Campaign Manager:D

[CathyT]

Another vote! She's caught up a little, but I forgot to look - how many more days do we have?

I just voted and it looks like you're tied for first. Good luck!

[dlaboriel]

Bump.

[charliecat]

[PAMMELA]

Yep, she's in the lead!!:D

[staceye]

You guys are awesome! Please do let us know if you try the recipe...to my knowledge, I'm the only one who's made it. I'm not sure if Epicurious.com tested the recipes or not (one would hope that they did).

[swall]

I voted again today. We need to get you back up in the lead!

[madpots]

I voted....what happened? Somebody else is on a Big Push!

[luv2run]

I voted today at work and again at home this evening--:p !

Debbie :cool:

[dlaboriel]

I just voted and found she's trailing. I ran over to another site, put the information there, so I hoping we'll get some help from them.

[staceye]

I'm totally blushing!

I'm not buying your votes, but if I win, you're all invited to dinner at my house. ;)

[jmarie]

I just came over from Other Stuff and saw this thread. I went and voted for Staceye. Is this cross-posted on the Other Stuff Board so that those who don't make it over here everyday, can see it and vote. That would be my suggestion. If you have already cross posted, and I missed it, then oops...my bad!;)

Good luck! I will vote again, tomorrow!
Joyce

[HealthyinMN]

Voted for you again! Hope to see you back in the lead!

[CathyT]

I'm going to get a little sappy and say how much I love how we're all pulling for Stacey! I'll be voting again tomorrow morning!

Originally posted by gabbyh

Perhaps they have their own BB's voting for them. :p

No, it's not bad to want to try it, if you like seitan.(ICK for me personally.) It sounds like an easy recipe.

[staceye]

I want to try most of the recipes. I'll even *maybe* try the seitan.

I'll be happy with a solid second place, but there's still two more weeks of voting left, so I'm not giving up hope yet!

With MUCH continued appreciation,
Stacey

[TLee4]

I have a mental block against stuffed peppers (nothing to do with YOUR recipe)..the thought of them makes me sick. But I still voted for you! :D

Terri

[jmarie]

I have voted for you every day and have asked everyone in my address book to bookmark the page and do the same. I wish you the best of luck!

PS It helps to bump this thread once a day as it sends that email notification to those of us who have registered to this thread. I get reminded and, in turn, I remind those I have asked to vote for you!

So, please..... for forgetful me, bump it up every morning!
Thanks
Joyce

[CathyT]

I'll be happy with a solid second place, but there's still two more weeks of voting left, so I'm not giving up hope yet!

Still in solid second place! But with 2 weeks left, you can definitely catch the Seitan.

Joyce, you're right - it was the notification that you posted that reminded me to vote this morning. So I did!

I am voting everyday -- it's the first thing I do when I log in at work. I've also passed this along to some co-workers.

[Wendy w]

After seeing this thread, I finally opened it up and voted. Good luck to you. You have got to beat out the seiten.

[PAMMELA]

We're still behind!!! 23 to 16!!!

[CindySoCal]

I voted, hope you win :)

[CathyT]

I voted, but she's still in second (solidly, at least). C'mon, everybody - vote! And remember, you can vote once a day :)

Bumping this one up, since Susan observed that the other thread doesn't indicate which recipe is Stacey's! :eek:

[staceye]

Yep, it looks like I'm catching up a bit! And just think, only a mere two more weeks of voting... :rolleyes:

[jmarie]

For three days now, I have gone to vote and it tells me that I have already voted. At first, I thought, "Well, maybe I voted early this AM and forgot".....But today I am sure that I haven't voted.

Are you sure we are allowed to vote once a day every day? If so, some of your votes aren't being calculated.

My aunt in Ohio voted and sent me an email assuring me that she would vote everyday. I voted for several days, no problem...but now it won't let me.:mad:

Staceye, can you check this out?
Thanks!
Joyce

[HealthyinMN]

Thats weird, Joyce =( I voted yesterday and was able to vote again today. Maybe try deleting your cookies and see if that helps?

[CL addict]

Joyce, the same thing has happened to me 2 or 3 times, not sure why. Some days I can vote and some days I can't. Is there anyone else voting who uses the same computer you do?

[CindySoCal]

I didn't know we could vote everyday...so I went and voted
again with no problem...I'll try to remember to vote everyday
Good Luck! :)

[jmarie]

I had written to epicurious and received an email from them thanking me for alerting them to this prpblem, that they frequently have problems to happen and the only way they find out is if the consumer reports it.

Having said that, I followed "HealthyinMN's" advice and deleted cookies and was able to vote!:D I am in the process of sending everyone in my address book a reminder. I will mention that if they cannot vote to delete cookies. I just wonder why I was able to vote a few times before I encountered the problem.

Anyway, continued GOOD LUCK wishes!
Joyce

[SusanL]

how can "we" still be behind?

I'm sure they'll be pleased when all the sites they go to don't recognize them any more and they get to re-enter all the names and passwords they use. :rolleyes:

THANKS FOR YOUR CONCERN, BOB, BUT I HAVE ALL OF MY PASSWORDS IN A LITTLE BLACK BOOK!:D OOPS, SORRY FOR THE CAPS.

Oh, and I am sorry if those who followed the advice given, don't have your passwords saved, somewhere.

THANKS for the heads-up, Bob!

[staceye]

Just to be clear - I certainly am not encouraging anyone to delete their cookies in order to vote more than once a day. I'll be happy with an honest second place!

I don't have room for the big, fancy microwave in my kitchen anyway... :eek:

[CathyT]

I voted again! This time it's Stacey w/ 18.9% and the Seitan w/ 24.6%. So they're both pulling away from the rest, but we have to get more votes so Stacey can catch the Seitan!

I have been voting each day since the beginning too. Hopefully Staceye can catch up.

Man! I am a dedicated voter - on two different computers no less - and am not seeing much budging with the Ginger Sietan!!

I've been voting too. I think that other recipe has hooked up to a computer with a virus and is generating auto votes! ;) :D

Geez, one really has to wonder, considering the huge percentage jumps in very short periods of time. :confused:

[jmarie]

She jumped 5 points today! That has to be a huge amount of votes. What bothers me, is not being able to vote for three days. Sheesh!:mad:

[staceye]

Yeah, it's gotta be a huge amount of votes, but I think I'm gaining some ground tonight.

I know I've said this before, but you all are so great. There have to be of ton of people voting everyday. Thanks, thanks again!

Just wanted to say that I have my computer set to auto~delete cookies. I don't need a cache of websites visited and personal information saved in my computer.
Then again, I am pretty straightforward and have one general username for everything:o

Voted again ! :)

Just got back from being out of town and voted, too!:cool:

Just wanted to say that I am cheering for you (and voting as well). I log in every day.

[dlaboriel]

Just got back from a vacation in Arkansas an rushed here to see how we were doing and to vote. We still need votes.

[jmarie]

I voted, today... 23 July, 2005:D

The difference between the two recipes has narrowed to the other recipe having a 2.5% lead! Earlier in the week it was a 5 point lead.

WAY TO GO LADIES AND GENTS!

[gabbyh]

She is catching up...we can do this folks!

Keep voting:D

[CindySoCal]

Voted :)
We just can't seem to catch her...come on everyone vote, it's just a little click of the mouse :) :) :)

[Sami]

Just returned from Slovenia and Croatia and voted for you. If I can get into cooking gear, the recipe looks delicious.

Sami

[Gecko]

I just voted today and Staceye is in the lead!

[Cookin4Love]

I just voted, too. She's ahead by .7%--let's keep voting!

[mmbedard]

Just got in from vacation and voted. Good to see Stacey creeping ahead!!

[Paula H]

Oh Stacey, you're pulling ahead (at last)!!! How exciting.

[mmbedard]

OH NO, just voted again this morning and Stacey is 2.2% behind - how can that be!!! OK everyone, let's continue voting and try to get Stacey back up there......

[CindySoCal]

off to vote now :)

[Cookin4Love]

I think something's a little fishy here. I last voted about 1:00 a.m. (today's vote) and Stacey was still ahead. I find it strange that in a 6 1/2 hour time frame--and NOT the most popular computer hours, by any means--she lost that much ground. I wonder how that could happen??? :rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: Cookies and milk, anyone?

[mmbedard]

There is definitely something not right going on.......Stacey is now behind by 5%, when last night she was up by 2%.....anyway, let's just keep on voting for Stacey.

[Gecko]

I agree that something very strange is going on. Yesterday when I voted and then posted that Staceye was in the lead I am sure that the figures were around 25.5 (Seitan) and 25.6 (Peppers) - or something close to this. I just voted today and somehow Stacey has slipped to around 20% and the Seitan dish has gone up to 32%. Either there has a glitch with the counting or there is something else going on here that isn't right.

[CL addict]

I don't know much about how these polls work, but do you think someone at epicurious would be monitoring from day to day? If so, they'd have to notice the wild fluctuations in percentages.
I had insomnia this morning, and at about 2:00 am. the Seitan was around 26 or 27 percent, can't exactly remember. No one could gain 6 percent in a few hours, sorry folks, not even in a perfect world! :mad:

[Cookin4Love]

All I can say is Ms. Seitan (or would that be Satan?) is probably going to develop carpal tunnel sydrome from overusage of her mouse!

If someone really is putting in all that time doctoring the results, might I, um...well...um....respectfully suggest that they...uh...GET A LIFE!?

[PAMMELA]

32.5% to 18.9%. :mad: Something is going on.

[Cookin4Love]

I'd have to do an unethical experiment to find out for sure :rolleyes: but I suspect there are literally HUNDREDS of votes going in for the Seitan recipe at this point. Somehow, I doubt there's been a national resurgence of Seitanic interest. :) We'll keep voting for Stacey, who I know has said she'd rather have an honest second place than an ill-gotten first place. Of course, that doesn't preclude us from hoping that the first place winner stubs her toe on her prize or something!

[Gecko]

It's not so much the number of votes going in for the other recipe that bothers me (well it does a bit ;) ) but rather the fact that Staceye's votes seem to be going down rather than up. If we are voting for her how can that be? I know that when I voted yesterday her percentage was around 25.6 and now it is 18.9?

[Cookin4Love]

The fact that her percentage is going down doesn't mean that the number of her votes has declined, but that the total number of votes has vastly increased. If there were, say, 100 total votes and she had 20, that would be 20%. However, if there were a total of 200 votes and she had 20, that would be 10%. So...it just means that there are literally hundreds of votes going in for the other recipe. That's why the whole thing seems so...wrong!

Thanks! Now it's a bit clearer. So not only are there so many votes going in for the other recipe it is forcing Staceye's percentage down but the other one has also jumped from 25.5 yesterday to over 32. Wow that is a lot of votes. Definitely seems wrong somewhere along the line.

As my daughter would say, "That's just wrong!" She first uttered these words when she saw a man in a Speedo for the very first time (BTW, she's 12--:o--and he really didn't belong in a Speedo !)

[oceanjasper]

Do you think that the vote counters will only count one vote per day per ISP address? So, maybe in the end our staceye will still win!?!? I hope so, because I have been faithfully voting my one vote per day.

They count 1 vote per computer unless you clear your cookies. Then, apparently, it's fair game. :rolleyes: Have I ever mentioned that I hate cheating????

[Molli]

20.9 to 29.8. Stacy, you are making some ground up :)

Maybe that is what Seitan is doing, clearing the cookies and just voting over and over for themselves.

dont feel bad, american idol has the same dilemma and they are on a much larger scale :D

Hey guys! Just got back from Myrtle Beach and went and voted and saw Staceye is behind. :mad:

It could be that she works in a governemnt office or any place that has a lot of computers and they are all voting for her. :confused:

Anyway, Staceye...you've got my vote. :cool:

Spicy Ginger Seitan, this thread requires at least one vote per day for Stayceye. Have you voted today :D

[PAMMELA]

Nyeh, nyeh, I've got more friends than you do! :eek:

Staceye will make a great runner up.

Somehow that surprises me.

Must be killing Ginger S. that the results are no longer shown when you vote.

[Cookin4Love]

Did anyone else notice that we didn't start having all the problems on the board until Seitan showed up? ;)

Anybody wonder how she found us? And really have you ever tasted seitan? Yuck, even ginger coudn't make it tase good! :eek:

[jmarie]

I'm thinking she didn't find us....maybe a gremlin just having some fun in a gremlin sort of way. :eek: :confused:

Anyway, I voted! I can't wait to see who wins! :)
Joyce

[mmbedard]

Bump!!

It's all good, we'll just keep voting away and await the results. :cool:

Don't forget to vote for Stacey's stuffed peppers!

It wouldn't take a rocket scientist to google and see where the contest was being discussed.

Well, gee I guess in my case it would! :confused:

[Beth]

Well, gee I guess in my case it would! :confused:

Are you offended? Trying to figure out why.

I wasn't slamming you but pointing out that anyone who we might even suspect has tried to manipulate contest voting or hack into a BB and cause problems would certainly be savy enough to run a google search and probably a lot more.

[Gecko]

I just voted for today and BA is still not publising the results for each vote. Are they trying to build up anticipation for the final winner or what?

[CindySoCal]

Voted!!! :D

I went to check the results but couldn't find them.

I voted this morning and it didn't give me an update. Fingers crossed for Stacy :)

I voted (like every other day-- ;) ) but it's awful that you can't see the numbers!

Hang in there, Stacey, not even Seitan can make us love you less!

I know, it's frustrating. But as far as I can tell, you can still vote... maybe they like to keep everyone in suspense for the final week?

Looks like voting is over, as I get the message "This poll does not exist". But no results....

Staceye, you will always be a winner to us :) It certainly was an achievement to have have even made it that far. And besides, I think a lot of people would be far more likely to make your recipe that the other one. Maybe it is just me, but I still can't get over the fact that someone would actually think of calling something seitan - even if it is not pronouced they way it looks you are going to forever have it mispronounced.

I'm really sorry Staceye. :(

Stacey - Just wanted to say I'm sorry you didn't win, but I'm still super impressed that you were a finalist. That's really amazing! Good luck w/ your future contests, and let us know how you're doing in them so we can vote for you again!
