And The Winner Is...




Well alas it was not Sherry. It was some old lady with peanut butter cookies! Of all things, peanut butter cookies. Oh well!

I did get to meet up with Sherry, and it sounds like she had an amazing adventure here in Dallas. Firstly she became best buddies with the Meijer people. She had declared herself to be a Meijer shopper before the competition, and so she got to meet and hang out with the Meijer representatives. I met some of them the night that I visited Sherry, and it was if they had known each other for years.

And speaking of becoming buddies with people, none other than Sandra Lee fell under Sherry's charm. For those who do not know Sandra Lee was the host for the bake-off, but she also hosts a TV show called, "Semi Homemade with Sandra Lee" on the Food Network. At one point as Sherry was making her cups, she became aware that someone was looking over her shoulder. Next Sherry heard a voice say, "those are beautiful", and a barrage of camera flashes went off. Before she knew it, she was best buddies with Sandra Lee too. At one point Sherry managed to get Sandra Lee facing in Vickie's direction, and Vickie was able to get the shot above.

So she may not have $1,000,000, but it seems like Sherry had the adventure of a lifetime. And she will have something to look forward to for the next bakeoff! Maybe Guy Fieri will be the host. That would be Money!
