The Squire is very pleased to announce the winner of our recipe contest ... Mrs. Wallace Thaw, 30 Woodside Drive, Moraga.
It was a very difficult contest to judge, since all entries were delicious. But, the judges finally selected Mrs. Thaw's Patio-Steak Broil for her unusual twist to the recipe.
Mrs. Thaw wins a $5 gift certificate good at any store in the Moraga Center. And, many thanks for the other entrants for their very good recipes.
