A rather brisk ride if I do say so myself. about 45 minutes. Its also Karen's Funeral later today. Between the weather and the funeral, there are only three teams entered in the Chili cookoff.
It looks like we are taking the presentation most seriously as we have certainly decorated our booth more than the others. Chili's are cooking. The smells are in the are and the few spectators are in the building, buying baked goods and otherwise staying warm. About 11:15 its time to start getting into costume.... I come out first then the girls go get changed.
I do believe we have captured everyone's attention.
Lots of folks for chili, 2 teams including ours, run out. I used about 10 pounds of meat, that's less fat as I trimmed it all the night before. Our team did not even get to sample our own chili, we only got to sample Too Hot To Handle (12 lbs meat).
The results are in. Presentation award goes to PIMP Yo' CHILI! Woo Hoo! That is our team. Surprisingly we appear to have come in third in the official judges scoring, and did not win people's choice which only was awarded to first. Too How To Handle wins judges and people's choice. Oh well we will cheer the winners at the regionals.
I think all the chili's must have been good as we got some very positive feedback on ours. It was a very Texas Chili, meat and spices, while the winners was full of vegatables, onions, peppers and tomatoes. A bit more northern. Team 3, Fire in the Hole, made chili similiar to ours and was apparently quite similiar in taste.
