Simply join UtterlyBORing’s March Madness pool for free and you could possibly win a $25 gift card to Carino’s Italian donated by your’s truly. There are some great prizes that you could win besides the gift card including:

First Place: Meals for two (breakfast, lunch, or dinner, as it’s all served all day) from Jake’s Diner here in Bend (though, considering the portion sizes at Jake’s, you could easily say this was “Meal for Four”), plus a hand-made “Bend, Oregon” coffee mug from Mug Revolution here in Bend, plus a logoed golf bag towel (with clip) from Discover Sunriver, plus a used but still functional AIPTEK DZO-V58 Digital Video/Still Camera. It basically writes video to the SD card inside the system (1GB card included). Includes manual, av in/out cables, charger, cd.

Second Place: An adjustable baseball cap from the best dang pizza-place in Baker City, Paizano’s Pizza plus another golf towel.

Last Place (Yes, you read that right, see below for rules): You get a t-shirt from the UtterlyBoring.com shop that you can show off to all your friends your inability to pick winners. Wear it with pride.

Local’s Only Prize: A reader says they have good toolbox that they’ll throw to the best local (Central Oregon) bracket. It’ll be far too expensive to ship (it’s 30 pounds). As soon as I know more about it, I’ll post it.

Hopefully Jake will find a good place in the prize pool for the Carino’s Gift card. You know you want it. Join today!

Voodoo Doughnut

The Wife and I watch No Reservations with Anthony Bourdain on the Travel channel. One episode featured the NW and he went to a couple places in Portland. One place was Voodoo Doughnut. We knew about Voodoo Doughnut but the kicker was the Maple-Bacon Doughnut that Tony had. I had to get my hands on one of these bad boys. So simple, just add a slice of bacon to a maple bar.

Fortunately the Wife made it to Portland and bless her sweet heart, brought me back a ton of Voodoo Doughnuts. My favorite was definitely the Maple-Bacon. The maple was slathered on really thick and tasted so good. The sweetness of the frosting combined with the saltiness of the bacon was a fabulous combination.

I loved it and will make Voodoo a permanent stop when we go to Ptown.
