Color Me Gone

Because I failed to organize the annual Mudville Fourth of July BBQ, I will instead be filling out an application for this promising fellowship. I will be focusing on my favorite aspect of grilling: the making of the sauce. I was going to put in a picture here of The Rolling Stones' Sticky Fingers, but upon closer internet inspection decided that would be rather lewd. You will instead just have to imagine it, as I am sure, many of you can.

The Weber Outdoor Cooking Fellowship for Culinary Writing (Outdoor Cooking)

The Prize:

A one-month, all-expense paid fellowship at the Writers Colony at Dairy Hollow, Eureka Springs, Arkansas, is awarded annually to a culinary writer of demonstrated ability whose work pertains to the history and practice of outdoor cooking, including grilling and barbecue. Cookbooks, scholarly or historical works, and culinary memoir are all eligible. The outdoor cooking investigated may be of any nationality, any course or courses in the meal, any method, and may date from any period in history. Writing which explores marinades, sauces, rubs, brines, and other pre- or post-outdoor grilling enhancements is also eligible.
