I've been cooking beans since Wednesday night for the school's chili cookoff..
It was fun, and they had a huge turnout.
Just a few shots of the table. MrsC's kids made the banner + pig decor.

We started with 4 gallons of chili.

MrsC was shoveling it out as fast as she could.

30 minutes later, we've used most of our tasting cups.

When all was said and done, I scooped 1 gallon back into a plastic container. Plenty of leftovers for us!
And I still have enough materials to make another gallon of beans...

Looks like a nice turnout. Chili looks good.
Yeah, it all turned out nice. The winner was one of those you can strip paint with, whereas mine was pretty mild.
3 batches of beans as so:

6 pounds of pulled pork, and a 64oz container of V8 juice.
The roaster weighed over 35 pounds when I got done mixing it late Friday night!
Very Cool Squirt!
Like the flying pink pigs. What did you play for music?
Nice job squirt!
The pigs were a hit. MrsC found them Friday afternoon at one of the local party supply stores..
I didn't go out and sample, but there were 19 teams. The sample cups were 4 oz. So if you could put them all down, that was roughly 3.5 pounds of chili to be had - for a flat 5 bucks. And you could go back for 2nds and 3rds if you liked.
I bet there were some sore stomachs last night...
Deb, one of the Dad's is a DJ on the side, so they had some background music playing.
With the flying Pig, you should have had some Pink Floyd music.
Kids did a great job on decor.
Looked like a fun time.

I knew you would get it!
Yeah, but we needed one more pig..
Pigs (Three Different Ones)
I guess the one in the chili would have counted!
Last year when Rogers Waters was here at the Woodlands Pavilion, I was there and 4 guys
came thru the lawn area each having a rope in their hand and a hugh
Floating Pig.
Something happen and the pig floated off across Houston.
Was pretty kewl.
Looks like a fun time for all.

Brings truth to the saying "When pigs fly"
Just saw this, looks like a big time...
I've been upstairs cooking... a pot of CHILI...
Looking back... They should have had a silent auction going on at each table for the leftovers.
Very nice stc ;D
Looks awesome!
I started having flashbacks to some Pink Floyd shows from a while back .... LOL
Even the tribute bands have flying pigs these days
I may have to get one for my next piggy party

We went to see the Australian Pink Floyd tribute band a few years ago and they had a flying pink kangaroo :D They were awesome. We had seen another the year before that but no where as good.
Well done Squirt!!
Looks good Squirt!
Mrs
