Year one of cook off, made chili have been making all of my life, which everyone said was amazing. At chili cook of, not even noticed. Probably was dead last in competition.

Year two, planned ahead, selected recipe of the 2005 International Chili cook off winner. It required half dozen different peppers,and several pounds of prime beef, no beans. I went to at least 6 markets to find the various peppers. Soaking the dried ones, making the different "taste layers", cooking for hours. Thought for sure I had a winner.
Total lack of impression on the chili tasters!

Year three, this year. Vowing never again to make an over the edge complicated chili which was way above the taste buds of mere mortals (myself included) I went to food tv on line, read a zillion recipes, went for simple but different. Modified it, and it was great! Was relatively easy, took time but not like year two and was very tasty. Got good comments and was surprised to win.

So all you chili cook off people out there,,,,,,,,keep trying,,,,,it is fun and you might hit on something!; 1/18/2007 12:50 PM
Susan said...: I think anyone who goes to that much trouble to win the neighborhood chili cook-off would be a fine mayor! You could fill your cabinet with spicy people, toss out the bad ingredients (code), and stir the pot a bit. I think the pot defintely needs stirring.; 1/18/2007 2:17 PM

CouldBeSherry said...: Thus far the Grill Off has suffered from a lack of interested parties. Case of lots of talk, little action. Happens that way sometimes.

Still working on it,,,,,,,,; 1/19/2007 10:35 AM
