I'm Back and I Won!
 

We're back from our big Labor Day weekend camping trip. We do this every year; we get together with three other families, reserve several spots at the end of a campground loop at a local state park, cook lots of yummy food, let the kids run wild and get filthy, and we drink a lot of beer. :D

Our campground has a chili cook-off every year. I entered last year but didn't win anything. This year we had 5 entries just within our own group - lots of trash-talking between us. My hubby made white chicken chili, and I made my usual spicy red chili recipe.

So they announced 1st place - some old guy who had been doing it for years; his chili wasn't that great and I suspect they just wanted him to finally win. Which is fine, he's a nice guy.

Then they said there was a tie for 2nd place and they worried how to break up the prizes, then realized it was a husband and wife. So here we are, looking around, wondering what other husband and wife entered the contest...oh, it's us. :D Yep, hubby and I won 2nd place. Whoohoo!!!

We'll be doing it again at a different campground at the end of October. One of our friends won 1st place there last year, I won 3rd. I think this year we'll switch. ;)

Next stop, Terlingua! I'll be there again this fall, and I'll be looking for you both. And congratulations!:thumb:

So, now will you post the two prize-winning recipes?

I love me some chili! Congratulations to the both of you!

I would have loved to have been a judge, yum! :P

I'm with Clodfobble. I wanna try out the recipes. Yum! And congrats!

OK. Really, it was a handful of this, dash of that, you know...but I will try to come up with an accurate recipe later when I get a little time.

Send me a recipe for my crock pot - please and write it for an idiot - at least that way I have 1/2 a chance of not screwing it up.

Congrats!!! I'm a huge chili fan. I was trying to put together a good crock pot chili. All of the competition chili contests I've seen don't allow beans. Does yours have beans in it?

I misread the thread title.

I thought it was "I'm Black and I Won!"

I thought, "Is it November already?"

:lol2: Very funny
