another fall, another chili bean...

The chili cook-off was a hit again this year!

There were six peeps

that got out their

"cauldrons".

They stirred up their

bat wings

and

eye of newt

and spider webs,

and cooked up a big pot of ...

chili...

yeah, chili...

for All Hallows Eve.

There was food aplenty.

Besides all the chili there were

corn bread and zucchini pie and all kinds of chili "toppings"

at the bonfire.

And inside, while watching the game:

Veggies and snacks - plural.

Cakes, pies, cookies and candies - plural.

Kettle corn, caramel corn.

Way too much!

Here are a couple of pics before it got really dark

(and before we went inside to watch the state football game) :

The "cauldron row":

 The fire that sure felt good as the

temperature dropped into the low 40's:

This year's winner was called "Game Day Chili"

It had a real "kick" in the spice department!

Next year,

I told everyone it was going to be

BYOB....

Bring Your Own Bean-o
