Our local American Legion is having a chili cook-off at the end of this month and I have decided to enter the competition with my chili recipe using ground elk, sliced elk medallions, and chorizo instead of beast, buffalo, or moose. Here is my entrance letter to the Legion: Robbin' Crooks (aka Robin Smith and Darrell Wallace) will enter this cook-off and win it with my super secret Elk chili and we'll have a team to assist and play music. Because our secret recipe is so revered, instead of two gallons, we'll be making considerably more because we never have any left-over. Please do not tell any of the other entrants that we are making my chili because they will not bother to attend out of embarrassment. Regards, Darrell Wallace (Robbin' Crooks Chili Cook-Off Team leader)
Aw, MAN, no smoked Beast? Still, the Chorizo should kick it up a notch, I like it! Best of luck, save me a bucket!
Might as well give us the date , and your Legion's Post # , or address. Ive been known to jump on the bike , or car , or truck ,, and just hit the road before,, only thing stopping me now would be work ,, I'm pretty close to finishing this job and bringing home a paycheck thats worth sticking around for. And its a little colder than what my old bones can handle these days ,, so more than likely,, the bike will be staying in the shed. But,, no telling,, i might sneak off anyway.
I’ve never tried this. Great idea except the obvious added danger, scalding my lips and tongue even more so. Still safer than any Hot Pocket. Ouch!
Tastes better, too. There will never again be a hot pocket in this house. Awful, worse than a nuked frozen burrito.
Mmmmm Chili lasagna.... Layers of gooey goodness!! Best of luck to those entered against that elk recipe you have there!! They don't have a chance.
Well, finally got the rules for the chili cook-off and it isn't a real cook-off. They want us to bring chili from home...what a dud. I am bummed out because I have spent a lot of time and money rounding up some of my secret ingredients and some ass--hat that opened a couple of Number 10 cans of Hormel will probably win. Screw them, we'll set up a huge condiment table, bring five gallons instead of two and play music all day.
Well, the Chili Cook-off is over and we had a great time. It was raining all morning right up until the first hour of the competition so not many brave souls showed up to taste soggy chili. Since it wasn't a real cook-off and everybody had to prepare their recipes at home, my lesson learned is that it takes way too long to reheat five gallons of chili in crock pots that are powered by one of eight extension cords in a share outlet. My luke-warm chili did not place and it is still some of the best chili I ever tasted. All three winners used propane to heat their product and having tasted each of them, all I can say is hot is good, luke-warm is not so good. The rain stopped and the sun and people showed up, we played some music and farted all day, probably because of all the beer. A pair of notorious rappers showed up and ate my chili while pausing in the production of a music video where they chant things about killing policemen while doing the crotch hold monkey dance and shouting "Yo". A Mexican with a mohawk played his electronic drum kit to the accompaniment of virtual karaoke songs through a very loud sound system after the rain stopped. We received more fan votes than anybody else there but didn't place because 80% of the vote was from the judges and they each had constituents. Remember, crock pots require sufficient amperage.
Sounds like it was a show, for sure and for certain!! Rain, shared outlets on an extension cord... All that was missing was lightning!!
