Chili Cook Off Tip Off

We worked hard for several weeks to make the Chili Cook Off Tip Off fundraiser for Care to Learn and the Keeling Foundation turn out so successfully! What a great team we had under the leadership of Mary Gregory! So nice working with and for her again. JoPapaBear participated in the contest - with 25 other hopeful prize winning chili chefs. Our chili was very tasty even though we didn't win any awards.  The decorations he made for PCHIS were just adorable and of course reusable just in case he sets up at another event where he can publicize his inspection services.  We handed out lots of chili but not so many business cards.  Maybe at the Home and Garden Expo he'll hand out more cards and stir up business instead of chili.  The chili we made had my salsa for the secret ingredient. Now it's not so secret anymore, is it?! Starting with 7 (seven) pounds of hamburger and 8 (eight) chopped onions a whole jar of chili powder and one of cumin, I don't think this is a recipe we'll be repeating any time soon.  But if you'd like some, I can be transported to cook at your house much easier than three gallons of chili and the giant crock pot could be shipped to you. Let me know if you're interested!
