chili cookoff at work

[chris_harper]

At work we are having a chili cookoff this coming Friday. I entered it; am using SoFlaQuer's (Fla. Jeff) "chili verde" recipe. I hope I win, pretty confident I will. The winner gets a box of steaks from Omaha Steak Company, a $250 value. I am taking Friday off, so I can do that, and then do the stuff I normally do on payday. They (work) are providing the bowls, spoons, and crackers. The teams have to serve the chili. The chili will be $3 a bowl and a drink, with each additional bowl $1. The team with the most donations wins. The proceeds benefit the united way. There are a maximun of 8 teams, max of 3 per team. i am on my own, as is several other teams.

Chris:

I have no doubt you will do well. It's even better because it's for a good cause. Good thing for them it's not a brisket cook off, then they wouldn't stand a chance.

Have fun.

only one other entrant knows i q' alot. he was a grand champion, or so i have heard, at a chili cookoff once. i am not scared to lose to him. i have heard his chili is not "all that". he was disqualified at the last chili cookoff they had (before i started there), as he turned in "marked" chili. all my guys on my crew say i will win. they had some of my chili back earlier in the year. i went today and got all the stuff to make it, i spent $40. i got 2 beef shoulder roasts, 3.5 and 3.75 pounds each. i am going to smoke them tomorrow, shred them, and freeze them. thursday night i will make the chili, taking it to work friday morning. i made this chili back in jan, minus some of the stuff i didn't have on hand. it was pretty good.

i am waiting for a brisket cookoff, hehe.
