Well this contest seemed right up my ally. There is not a meal in my house that does not end up messy. My next home improvement is installing a garden hose and large drain in my kitchen. Two young boys, enough said. Still initially I was stumped by this one, all I could think was Sloppy Joes. I love Sloppy Joes! Thinking... how can you make Sloppy Joes a party food? Eggrolls! And thus... Sloppy Rolls.
