Consider yourselves invited to the Annual Polar Bear Chili Cookoff. Actually, I hope you ALL don't show up. My house isn't that big. :-) Actually the cookoff is a CASI-sanctioned event held at my house, in Bel Air, Maryland on New Year's Day (a true backyard cookoff with cook's trying to get their points for Terlingua). THere will be 20-30 cooks and maybe 50 -100 guests. It's a big all-day party with a chili cookoff hooked on. If you're interested in attending, send me a note and I'll give you directions. Alan
