 RH>> Didn't get the recipe copied as I was busy otherwise.
 NB>> Still on the roundtuit list, eh...?

 RH> That's a never ending list!

True... you add more as fast (or faster) than you manage to take off by
accomplishing them... ;)
 
 RH>> We didn't know the judges before the cook off, but again, they didn't

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

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

Is that intentional, to have newbies do the judging...?  I suppose it
could cut down on favoritism issues... :)

 RH>> Mine was probably the hottest (one of 2 hot ones) there; it didn't

 NB>> Are you only allowed one entry...?   It's beginning to sound like you

 RH> For several years I did a different version that is more family

Some year, there will again be judges that know good chili...
hopefully...  ;)
 
 NB>> Did you bring home any leftovers for yourselves...?

 RH> Yes, but it's gone now. One meal we had it over baked potatoes, the
 RH> other, just with some cheese and other sides. Guess I'll have to make

Guess so, unless you have some other use for them in the meantime... :)
