I have no idea what a Spurtle is but Bob’s Red Mill wants to win the golden one and they need your help.  Right now they’re accepting video entries from “oatmeal enthusiasts” who have a great original recipe that features Red Mill Steel cut oats.  Three finalists will win a trip to Portland, Oregon and then one grand prize winner will head to Scotland to help the Red Mill team in the 19th annual Golden Spurtle World Porridge Making Championship in Scotland this October.  Here’s a little video that will tell you all you need to know about the contest:
 

 
I’d freaking love to go to Scotland so I might need to shoot a video for this one.  If you want more details, head to the contest page:  http://www.sparforthespurtle.com.  And oh…I just checked wikipedia.  Apparently a spurtle is a “Scott’s kitchen tool, dating from at least the fifteenth century. It was originally a flat, wooden, spatula-like utensil, used for flipping oatcakes on a hot girdle the Scottish equivalent to a griddle.“  KNOWLEDGE IS POWER!!!!!!! Now go enter and win this contest FOR AMERICA.
