Garlicky Greens contest video on youtube
A video of the Garlicky Greens contest held at b.good won by Gretchen Salyer last month is available at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KNUxC3I8mUM. The clip has more content from the “Lord of the Rings” movies than the actual contest and provides only brief glimpses of the victor. One brief segment (capture available after jump) shows that Ms. Salyer might be the first person to experience the “spinach sweats.” b.good has an online newsletter about the contest.
