Nothin' like chili and football
Ohio State's fourth straight victory over Michigan wasn't the only notable event of this past weekend. A friend of mine also hosted her third straight chili cookoff. Not being much of a culinary prodigy (except maybe for making kick ass omelettes and having an uncanny knowledge of the varieties of generic brand mac & cheese), I played a vital role in convincing my compadre Bone Fresh to cook up his great chili.
Based on an ancient Nordic chili recipe, Bone Fresh Valient Chili took first prize. After the awards ceremony, Bone Fresh may or may not have been heard to quip, "It's great to finally get some recognition, especially after our two 12-packs of Pabst were denied entry into the communal beer cooler and we were forced to have to go out onto the front porch to get a beer." (Coincidentally, I agree -- it was kinda annoying that we had to go oustide to get our Pabsts, especially given that they were the only beers placed on the front porch, but it was all worth it when Fresh won.)
In all seriousness, though, it was good fun and all the chilis were great. Fresh has got his work cut out for him if he wants to repeat next year.
