a burning question
my dad sent me a chili cookbook the other day. he knows i love chili, and he knew he couldn't eat most of the ones listed in this particular book. he paid < $0.25 for it, and it was actually valued at between $15 and $20.
it's actually a compilation of the top 50 winning chili recipes from some Marlboro chili cookoff. it's a simple spiral bound softback with full color, and is truthfully a well-designed cookbook for being a promotional item. the plastic-coated pages and covers make it ideal for kitchen use.
i look forward to cooking some of these -- they look amazingly good.
nala and i were joking last night about our "attaboy" tokens we get at work. i've gotten several for participation (and help organizing) our charity chili cookoff (which i've won several times, as well). usually, the attaboy forms can be used as showing initiative in the work environment, but not so much when it comes to chili. (actually, i guess they could show participation in charity fundraising activities, but that's about it)
i joked that in "other activities/hobbies" on my resume, I could say "ask me about my award-winning chili".
