I will bring some side dish, so far I am leaning towards a pepper laced pasta salad. As for the rest........Surprise! Oh, Pedro, you may also consider entering some salsa to our condiment salsa table. As for the chili-cook-off, I think you have to follow the CASI rules; Allen Dean should help you in that department. But, you only have to show up to taste all of the chili, buy chile related items, listen to music and enter the jalapeno eating contest. I can't wait to see you again. Anne
