My partner Lew Wheeling and I are, as of this past Saturday, both qualified to compete in the CASI International Chili Cook-off in Terlingua Texas. It's our first "official" year competing in CASI events and it has been a great learning experience, as well as, a heck of a lot of fun. I was wondering if there are any list members that compete in CASI, if so, I'd like to hear from them. If anyone is interested competing or just attending an event in your area, you can go to the website at www.chili.org You can find a list of upcoming cook-offs. Warm Wishes,
