Well the schedule has been slow to come around this year and I've been on the road competing, but I think we've finally got a handle on things. Because of a facility scheduling problem, we won't be having the Aberdeen Cookoff and hotluck this year. I it's place, we're going to plan a cookoff/party/pod meeting/hotluck for my house in Bel Air on August 28. Stay tuned for further details as they develop. Please everyone in the area come to our other cookoffs and enjoy the food, activities, and general goofiness. They are: June 5 - Maryland State Chili Championship - Columbia, MD June 26 - Port Tobacco Chili Cookoff - Port Tobacco, MD July 10 - Up The Creek Chili Cookoff - Fort Washington, MD Email for details. Volunteers for judging are very welcome. Also I'd be happy to help anyone get started with cooking CASI chili.
