Charcutepalooza Finalists: Last Chance to Vote!

It's been a long and exciting year of meaty challenges. A year ago, Cathy Barrow and Kim Foster launched Charcutepalooza, a series of monthly challenges from the Michael Ruhlman and Brian Polcyn's Charcuterie: The Craft of Salting, Smoking, and Curing. At its peak, some 400 bloggers signed up to join the challenge, and small wonder. The grand prize was a trip to France, with a weeklong charcuterie class in Gascony

The judges winnowed it down to a handful of semifinalists, and ultimately to just  two finalists. Now, it's up to you. First, read each of the entries that have been selected:
