Saturday 3/9/13 The Grand Ivyland Chili Cook Off!!!

March 10, 2013

Saturday 3/9/13

The hosts of tonight’s Chili Cook off were
neighbors Kim & Dan.

The winner gets to take home this Amazing Award –
handcrafted by Michael Mathers!

Top contenders –
Dan’s brother Matt — I voted for his.
It was tasty, spicy but not too spicy & it had
some tasty vegetables which I found unusual
& liked very much.

Dan’s White Chili – made with Chicken

and MY Chili – which was well received!

I never made this recipe before but figured
I could pull off a winning pot of Chili.
I read a bunch of recipes & took the best
of each & came up with this concoction.

Here is my recipe:

do NOT eat TimTams if you are allergic
to peanuts OR Human Flesh…..

let the tasting begin…..

We had 6 Chili entries – It was tough Competition!

I was hoping for a Cornbread competition –
I would have won that too….
oooohhh – am I letting the cat out of the bag?
?

Kim – trying to unsuccessfully open a bottle of wine
without removing the capsule but she did successfully
break her Rabbit bottle opener

….

Kim – tallying up the VOTES…..

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner…..

Yes – I won the Chili cook off…..
if Dan voted for himself it would have been a tie,
but he voted for me!! woo hoo!!
Fun was had by all!!!!

We got home at 12:59 which was really 11:59.
Pat had already Sprung ahead for Daylight Savings time.

We created some wonderful memories & possibly
inspored some interesting traditions.
I think the next cook off will be PULLED PORK!!!

I’m winning that one too……
