I just received an email from one
of the ladies at Ace Hardware
with an album of pictures
of today's event.
I would like to thank Ace Hardware
and the ever-so-nice people there
for doing this for the community.
The proceeds from this event go to the
American Cancer Society
and
Relay for Life.

Ace Hardware's Crock Pot Cook Off.
This morning I got up bright and early
to finish the final prep work
for the crock pot cook off.
I have my 4 quarts of venison chili
and 2 quarts of my other chili
which I will be blending together.
then transferred it to the crock pot.
While the chili was heating,
I chopped green onions, parsley, cilantro, jalapenos,
and grated cheddar cheese for my accompaniments.
I already had my creme fraiche and corn salsa ready.

Friday Preparations For The Saturday Morning Crock Pot Cook Off At Ace Hardware.
Tomorrow's the day.
The day of the crock pot cook off.


So today, I'm getting things in place.
Tying up loose ends,
making check lists,
and lists to check my lists.
I have my cold cooler ready.
I have my hot hotter ready.
Last Saturday,
I made Batch #1 of chili, with venison as the base.
On Sunday,
I made Batch #2 of chili.
I froze both batches.
On Wednesday, I transferred the frozen chilis
to the refrigerator to thaw out.
Tomorrow morning,
I'll heat up 4 parts of chili #1 with 2 parts of chili #2
on the stove top,
pour into the crock pot,
and take my chili to Ace Hardware.
Today, I made a few accoutrements
for my chili.
First, seasoned tortilla chips.
But until then,
I'll just give you a hint.
What's Mr. Hawthorne doing here?
What The Hawthornes Have Been Eating.
The Hawthornes were in a festive mood yesterday
so we had fiesta food for lunch.
