Ärende: chili cookoff was: relish
=================================
Hi Nancy,

 NB> before the  NB>> cookoff starts, or is it when you arrive that you
 NB> find that out...?

 RH> Didn't get the recipe copied as I was busy otherwise.

 NB> Still on the roundtuit list, eh...?

That's a never ending list!


 RH> We didn't know the judges before the cook off, but again, they didn't
 RH> like hot chili. A closer to real chili won, but it wasn't very hot.

 NB> Who were the judges this year...?

A young couple and a single, both new to the church in the last 6
months. Neither had made a chili for the cook off, nor had eaten any
chili made by those that entered the cook off.

 RH> Mine was probably the hottest (one of 2 hot ones) there; it didn't
 RH> even place but the associate pastor took about a pint home for
 RH> himself. Mine was well appreciated, just not by the judges.

 NB> Are you only allowed one entry...?   It's beginning to sound like you
 NB> need to have a dumbed down one for the judges to manage to taste it
 NB> properly... (G)  Of course, the year you do that, you'll probably
 NB> finally have judges that appreciate proper chili with a little kick to
 NB> it..  ;)   Hence my question... ;)

For several years I did a different version that is more family
friendly. It usually placed second to a similar, but hotter one. I've
also done both it and the competition style, but this year went with
just the competition style. We just don't know what the judges any
particular year are looking for. But, our associate pastor likes hot
chili and doesn't get it at home so he really appreciated what we made.
(G)

 NB> Did you bring home any leftovers for yourselves...?

Yes, but it's gone now. One meal we had it over baked potatoes, the
other, just with some cheese and other sides. Guess I'll have to make
more to use up the peppers I still have. (G)
