Every year the Elders Quorum in our ward has a chili cookoff and it is always a great time. This year we had the pleasure of hosting it at our place. As you can see it was a great success and there were many delicious chili recipes to choose from. I regret to say that I did not actually take any pictures of the various pots of chili...totally dumb I know.There were three awards given: Spiciest (which we took home for the 2nd year in a row), most original & the most delicious. (Ladies above: Lara, Lara, Janelle & Caryn)
We love having the Elders over and so we were happy when they stopped by with an investigator to help us with our taste off. Side note: the last few weeks I have worked tirelessly ripping down wallpaper and painting. Like the new color? I will post before and after pictures but I wanted to wait until I get my window treatments up & the new backsplash put in.
Here is Warren making his very own "chili macaroni" as he named it. He has become quite the little helper in the kitchen. He loves to wear his "chef apron" to help me cook and do the dishes....which actually becomes a bigger mess than if I did it myself......BUT we have so much fun together its all worth it.
