    Did we change the time for this event? I thought it started at 5 and setup was at 4?
    Times are correct, didn't pay close enough attention at the last meeting.

    I will be entering my award-winning chili at this event.

    Here's some reference material in case anyone needs it.

    FYI, chili con carne is a misnomer. Without meat it isn't chili at all, and real chili doesn't have beans....

    Looks like "homestyle chili" can have any ingredients (including veggie-only) as long as it's seasoned with chili peppers and spices. Does the FORC comp have separate categories (ie. Traditional Red or Chili Verde that don't allow beans or noodles?) or is it a Battle Royal?

    Past years were not separate categories. I assume the same this year.

    No separate categories. If you call it Chili, for one night only, IT'S CHILI! (Be careful, some of the comment cards can be.....ummm...harsh. Also turns out the MC likes to emphasize those for some reason). Kidding of course.

    BTW, I plan to enter my chili. I made a test run yesterday and it's pretty good. gotta put a couple tweaks to make it awesome. No it's not white chili. I'm going for the win this year with a traditional chili.

    Good luck with that, Russ.

    Steve, don't shoot the messenger. I didn't WRITE those comments. I only shared them with every soul within earshot employing the most emphatic reading I could muster. What did that one comment say? "This Chili smells like the inside of my garbage disposal a week after my cat puked Indian Food into the sink!"? Harsh.

    Did one person get his ego hurt? Absolutely. In fact, I think it was crushed, pummelled and turned into gravel. But did the other 149 people thoroughly enjoy the moment at his expense? Clearly. And, for the record, the chili did taste like he buried a dog log somewhere in the middle of the crockpot.

    Can't wait to eat some dog shit chili. I just scored a bunch of dead wildlife. Sadly I won't have time to make anything!
