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

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

 RH> That's a never ending list!

 NB> True... you add more as fast (or faster) than you manage to take off
 NB> by accomplishing them... ;)

Seems that way. I got my sewing room set up enough to work, now I've got
to get going on postponed projects.


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

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

Seems to be, from what I've observed.

 NB>  RH>> himself. Mine was well appreciated, just not by the judges.
 NB>  NB>> Are you only allowed one entry...?   It's beginning to sound
 NB> like you  NB>> need to have a dumbed down one for the judges to manage
 NB> to taste it  NB>> properly... (G)  Of course, the year you do that,
 NB> you'll probably  NB>> finally have judges that appreciate proper chili
 NB> with a little kick to  NB>> it..  ;)   Hence my question... ;)

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

 NB> Some year, there will again be judges that know good chili...
 NB> hopefully...  ;)

I'm not holding my breath any more.


 NB>  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
 RH> more to use up the peppers I still have. (G)

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

I've only used a bell pepper so will have to get something to use the
peppers with. Have to check and see what Lowe's and Harris Teeter have
on sale this week.
