My family has regular Sunday dinners together. Each person brings a dish to pass. Each selection brought to the table is worthy of human consumption. People give and receive comments about the dish they brought. No votes are taken and no awards are given during this sharing experience. Each gets to sample others' works and learn their styles and techniques. No one goes back home unhappy. In fact, most times, everyone is 'stuffed' with more than they arrive with. To quote one said felonious Miss Martha Stewart, "It's a GOOD thing". WINK.
