My chili took third place at our neighborhood Fall Festival today. Mostly, I just copied the "brown bag" instructions and like usual, did things my own peculiar way. I used the above picture to describe my dish and I really think it helped people like what they were ABOUT to eat before they had even tasted it, because, you know chili can be such a murky thing to eat. Sour cream and cheese are a must with me, when it comes to chili, so those were offered in my "chili station". I am not typically a vain sorta gal, but it did make me feel good when several neighbors made a point to stop by on their mingling route to suggest the judge should have picked mine for first. :)
