Happy 2007!

Friends of ours always had an open house Chili Cook-off every New Year's Day. When we moved to seminary, we missed it so...we have our own.

The first year we had it in our apartment and invited Hubby's study group and the building. Our apartment overflowed. Last year we had it at the meeting room down the street. There were so many people and so much fun...we forgot to vote! Today was the last one we'll have here and there were 9 pots of chili (winners for Best Hot, Best Beef, Best Non-Beef and Best in Show). I'm so pleased that a neighbor has plans to hold it again next year.

I wonder where we'll have it next year, and I wonder who will come.

At our church we have a wonderful competitive chili cookoff every January to raise money for summer mission trips. People vote for their favorite chili with dollar bills! Of course some big philanthropists stuff the tip jars from time to time. And ALL of the chili is good! Glad you had fun. Happy New Year!
