OK, apparently we are better at making photographs than we are at making chili.
Last Saturday we were one of 60 teams entered in the 6th Annual Rootin’ Tootin’ Chili Cookoff. A benefit for the Columbia Boys and Girls Club. We had a great recipe, a great team, a great booth and we had great fun. Unfortunately we didn’t take a single prize in any category. It was our first (and maybe our last) cooking competition so I guess we shouldn’t have been to disappointed. There were several people that commented favorably on our chili after taking a sample. Perhaps they were just being polite. We thought it was pretty good. Maybe we set our sites to high and should have started with a less competitive event, like hot dog roasting or popcorn popping. Nevertheless we had a great time, raised some money for a good cause and learned the finer points of what makes a good chili.
