So I got up at 6 am today to make my chili, chopping and mixing to make the perfect combination of spices and flavor (honestly I just threw in the usual ingredients and then hung out with my amazing family).
I did realize that I was short on a few spices this morning so the flavor was a little different then I was expecting (not enough cumin, and I substituted missing chili power with paprika). When I finally tasted the chili around 10:15 I was satisfied and ready for the scrutiny of the public.
K, J and I drove to the Winter Carnival which was hosting the Chili Contest and dropped off the potential winner...
To go off on a tangent, I had no idea what the prize was for winning the contest but I was really hoping it was a medal or trophy of some kind. There were two other people at my office that entered the contest (out of 6 total) so winning was mostly about bragging rights...
Now what you have all been waiting for...Unfortunately I did not place in the top three (meaning I was in the bottom half) and a co-worker won (Congrats Nicole). There wasn't any feedback and I actually don't care that much because I love my chili and really don't care if others do or don't.
Have you tried the recipe? Any thoughts on it? What did you change?
