A Chili Weekend

Wes invited Pat to join him in the Charleston ZTA Alumnae 3rd Annual Chili Cook Off to benefit breast cancer awareness. Wes entered last year and won fan favorite so we had high hopes for them this year. The weather was absolutely terrible. It rained all day Friday and the majority of Saturday afternoon but that didn't influence their determination to win.

Pat has been making this chili recipe since he and Wes lived together 10 years ago! For the competition he wanted to step up the ingredients using ground pork, ground veal and dry aged fillet. That proved to be a great decision because they took 1st place!!



We celebrated that night with dinner at The Grocery. The guys made sure to boast about their win to everyone we met. The chef even came out to congratulate them! So for the day we let them bask in the glory of their win.


 The weather finally cleared up on Sunday so we grabbed some lunch on Sullivan's Island and took a walk on the beach. 




We ended the weekend with a little something for everyone: food for me, the beach for Maggie and a tour of Fort Moultrie for Pat! Doesn't get much better than that.

    Congratulations! Sounds like an awesome recipe. All meat, no beans?

    Thanks! Yeah there are beans too...guess I didn't think about the way that sounded. They stepped up the quality of the meat but used all the same ingredients for the rest, black and kidney beans I think.
