After Chinese school (on the west side of town), we drove across town to the Oviedo Ward Chili Cook-Off (on the east side of town). The cook-off was at Lake Mills Park in Chuluota, which is still 10 minutes more to the east than our house is.
There were so many different types of chili and they were all delicious! I'd say there were 15 or so pots of chili. We enjoyed trying the different varieties, but the children just stuck to mommy's. Other people also made cornbread/muffins and cobblers and pies. Mmm!
Hokulani received a long bubble tube from her Chinese teacher, and enjoyed playing with it at the park. Here is a picture of Jason and Hokulani playing with the bubbles. Other children later joined in the bubble-popping fun.
Carmel used her mom's chili recipe, and won the chunkiest chili award. (Everyone who made chili got some kind of award.) We weren't sure why it was called the chunkiest, but Carmel thought it was because there were kidney beans, corn, and tomato chunks from the stewed tomatoes (as opposed to just tomato sauce).
This is the certificate.
Rather than a trophy, winners received a bowl of chili (fake) with beans piled on top.
We can take the beans out and use the bowl for salsa!
