The Chili Cook Off

This last Wednesday we when to the Chili Cook Off that was held at ISU. On Monday of this week, we decide that we should do boys again girls. It was a blast! The boys kept on tell us that theirs was going to taste the best and everything like that. We just kept on making our Chili. So Monday was Prep Day. Prep Day is when we go back to the kitchen and start getting things together and making sure we have everything. Tuesday; we cooked off our chili half way because the recipe called for sour cream and heavy cream. If we had put them in that day they would taste weird the next days, so all we did was cooked the beans, onions, chicken with some spices. Wednesday; we got to class early because we had to be at the place for the competition by noon with everything sit up and we also had to finish the chili. It took us a while to finish the chili but we got it done in time to go. The guys had beer in their chili in which they didn't cook it all the way out (which was sad, because I really wanted to tired it). Anyways, we get there and the guys had not gotten all the things that they needed so they used what we had....I really don't know if they had read the rules or not. Anyways, the girls took 3 out of the 4 awards! We took 'most favorite', 'overall winner', and 'best placement'. We didn't win the last one because our chili wasn't "hot" (spicy, in other words) which was fine with us. When the guys found out they didn't say a word besides great job. Anyways, it was a great overall experience. I hope I get the chance to do something like this again. But this time I hope it will be involving baking through. ^-^
