Check out the cowboy boot coozie!Yesterday was the long awaited chili cook off. Tom decided to participate and make some "Texas" chili. He enlisted Donna's help as prep person and we spent a good part of Sunday, chopping and cooking. The chili turned out great and many of the attendees at the cook off were very impressed. Some came back up to four times for a "taste". No, we didn't win the contest, but we didn't care as we had a lot of fun visiting with the people and having them taste the chili. Tom was really basking in all the praise. After the cook off, he went to the hot tub for a soak and many of his admirers were there to heap the compliments on him. His head is so big, I thought we'd have to deflate it to get him back in the rig!!! Note: to go to the cook off just as a guest was $5.00 a person. If you were a cook, you didn't have to buy a ticket. I asked Tom how much he thought it cost to make the chili. He estimated $50.00!! That doesn't include the time and numerous trips to the store for something else he needed. All I can say is that it was money well spent for all the laughs.

Tom - you may not have won first prize for your chili but if they ever have a "biggest ham" competition, you're a shoo-in for first place! :)travellingsmurph
