Get ready to Wok!

Angus was asked to compete in the Geltwood Festival Wok Off - 6 local business owners/local identities do a Ready Steady Cook type cookoff with ingredients in their goody bags...

~
He had a final practice last night - 1 hour on the clock and off he went!
~

He produced this 'Sesame Pork' with seconds to go on the clock - it was delicious!
~

He wanted to wear his Statue of David apron but we though it might cause some of the ladies to faint? Appropriate only when pixellated!
~

The day dawned cool and overcast - perfect for outdoor cooking. The judges and competitors line up...
~

We had two EmCee's who kept the contestants on their toes with lots of questions throughout the Wok Off!
~

Being interviewed by EmCee, Jan...
~

The contestants had to set a table using items supplied and make it look the nicest...
~

There was quite a crown of onlookers...
~

Angus' mum, Margaret and Brianna paid $10 each to taste his stir-fry - all proceeds for the day go to the local Lioness Club (Lion's Club ladies) ...
~

Ready, steady - Wok!
~

In his goody bag he had diced pork, carrots, cabbage, onion, canned baby corn, pineapple, celery, cashews and broccoli...

~

Chopping, chopping, chopping...
~

Even the local TV news crew were there!
~

The other contestants - John (high school principal) ...
~

Sue (local girl) ...
~

Brian (owner of the local Foodland) ...
~

Karen (owner of Stock, Feed & Saddlery business) is looking nice and relaxed...
~

Angus (local car dealer) starts cooking off the pork in batches... under scrutiny...
~

Bubbles (cooks at local pub) looks highly organised and is the first to start cooking off ...
~

Preparation is the key, says Angus...
~

Being interviewed by the EmCee...
~

~

Bubbles has nearly finished her dish...
~

Brian claimed not to know how to cook at all but was doing fairly well... he said he had googled stir-fries the night before.
~

Karen is nearly finished...
~

While professing not to cook much, Sue's dish was coming along quite nicely...
~

John decided his stir fry needed some Bundaberg Rum in it...
~
Bubbles was the first to get her dish to the judges... looks good - apologies for the 'blue' look of the dishes - we are under a blue tarpaulin...
~

Karen's dish...
~

Sue's dish...
~

Brian's dish...
~

Angus' wok full of goodness ... nearly ready!
~

John's final dish...
~

Presenting their dishes to the judges...
~

Angus delivers his dish to the judges...
~

Angus' dish... he may have bribed them a bit... with a glass of Reisling each!
~

Marg and Bri paid to sit at Angus' table and to eat his meal... they got a glass of wine too!
~

Now the final decision and the placings are read out...
