"Create a Dish"

The game would be simple...you open a refrigerator and pantry door where there are a variety of ingredients some stock items and some ethnic and gourmet. The athletes survey the larder and plan and cook a complete and balanced meal.

Points are awarded for originality, nutrition, execution, presentation and taste.

(As I write this I think that it may be the script for "Iron Chef" lol)

Closet organizing!! Every sorted by color, style, season.

Neatness counts in this one. Tho I love Elston's.

[elston]

Can I make two entries?

How about emergency clean up. The arena is a house with dirty dishes, unmade beds, over flowing hamper and clothes strewn about, dust, messy sinks and garbage odor from an overflowing container under the sink, dogs paw prints on the hard wood, toys strewn on the yard and around the house.

The starting bell is the telephone with the announcement that the realtor is bringing a perspective buyer to your house (or your husband with his mother making a surprise visit) and they are in the neighborhood and will be there in about 20 mins.

You have 2 kids, one under 7 and the other an adolescent....who you can enlist to help or pass.

This is a timed event and the clock is now running.

[Karla with a K]

Right now I think I am a pretty good contender for
Gold medal in dogs lol
along with our 3 I am babysitting 3 more (at their house )

So it seems my days is pretty much
"let dogs out,let dogs in rinse & repeat a bazillion times a day

Other events I can qualify for would be

Dirt moving relay

and the ever popular

Ladder gymnastics

[Karla with a K]

and yes you can enter as many "events" as you want

the more the merrier

[studedude]

I would excel at the;

Marathon Ice Cream Munch: how much plain vanilla, no toppings, ice cream can you consume in 26.2 min

Brownie Biathleon: how long does it take to eat 20, 2"X2" brownies. 10 each with and without nuts.

Power Napping: a competition to determine how much you can actually sleep, during a 90 min period, if you are forced to wake up every 15 min.

A quadathelon would be contested including all 4 events

House flipping. The winning athlete can turn a dilapidated one room shack into a cozy and romantic vacation getaway for two with the least amount spent on labor and materials.
