Well, I am definately going to have to change my profession. In a previous blog I bragged that I came in 3rd in a Chili cook off at work, well this time we had a Brownie bake-off and I took 2nd place!!!
I called Daddy and asked him to send me the recipe for brownies from their original Joy of Cooking cookbook, I thought the recipe was on page 751, but I was wrong, it was page 663. I remember making them when I was younger and they were so good.
I am hoping the next cook off will be a Fried Chicken cook off!

Chili
There was a Chili cook off at work yesterday and I am proud to say that I came in 3rd place. Now before you start laughing and wondering how many entries there were, it was 7.
The funniest thing about this is I do not like nor do I eat Chili. The first time that I ever made Chili was 3 weeks ago. Johnny was up and I made some just for fun, he and Debbie and Mary seemed to like it a lot. So when the announcement came out about the Chili cook off I decided to enter.
Does everyone know that when you buy the package of McCormacks Chili Seasoning, there is a recipe on the back? Well it calls for hamburger meat, tomato sauce and 1 package of McCormacks Chili Seasoning, that's it and I came in 3rd!!!!

Need to Add 4 Dresses
I guess I am getting closer to 27 as I have either been informed or remember 4 other occasions where I have worn dresses.
And RJA, I do believe that at some point Pop did a color enhancement of our home movies, but maybe, just maybe I remember that the dress was yellow!! Not likely because I do have the CRS disease, hopefully you can figure that out.
EFM, I really don't remember the migrant worker dresses, but maybe Dad can scan it and send it to me and I can post it.
Weather update......cold!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
