now boring lecture and overpriced dinner, turned out to be just overpriced.
Saturday evening brought Jerry and Nancy Needham, who are looking to sell their 3000. (Thanks, Jerry, for patching my eyeglasses!) It also brought Jim Danielson, who truly moved time and distance to make the three-hour trip in, oh, something less than three hours. Safety fast? On Sunday, the Hiatts turned up. Their son Ryan enjoyed looking at the cars, talking to club members, and telling his dad which one he wanted to take home -- including the trailer they could buy to do just that. Alas, neither car nor trailer followed them home, but I'm sure -- as all Chicago Cubs fans know-- there's always next year!
Amature Chili Judge
-Ed Kaler, Just Brits.
Recently I was honored to be selected as an outstanding famous celebrity in Texas, to be a judge at a chili cook-off, because no one else wanted to do it. The original person called in sick at the last moment and I happened to be standing there at the judge's table. I was assured by the other two judges (native Texans) that the chili wouldn't be all that spicy and besides, they told me, I could have free beer during the tasting. So I accepted. Here are the score cards from the event.:
CHILI # 1: Mike's Maniac Monster Chili
Judge #1: A little too heavy on the tomato. Amusing kick.
Judge #2: Nice smooth tomato flavor. Very mild.
Our Hero: Holy Crap, what the heck is this stuff? You could remove dried paint from your driveway with it. Took me two beers to put the flames out. Hope that's the worst. These Texans are crazy.
Chili #2: Arthur's Afterburner Chili
Judge #1: Smoky, with a hint of pork. Slight jalapeno tang
Judge #2: Exciting BBQ flavor, needs more peppers to be taken seriously.
Hero: Keep this out of teach of children! I'm not sure what I am supposed to taste Besides pain. I had to wave off tow people who wanted to give me the Heimlich Maneuver. Had to walkie-talkie in 3 extra beers when they saw the look on my face.
Chili #3: Fred's Famous Burn Down the Barn Chili.
Judge #1: Excellent firehouse Chili! Great kick, needs more beans.
Judge #2: A bean-less dry chili. Lacking in kick.
Hero: CALL THE EPA! I've located a uranium spill. My nose feels like I have been snorting Draino. Everyone knows the routine by now. Barmaid pounded me on the back so hard that my backbone is in the front part of my chest. All these beers are getting me smashed.
