There's Chili In The Air in San Diego

Lesley Bradley

News from Section 11 (Arizona, Southern California, Southern Nevada, Utah)

The San Diego ME communities are getting ready for their Fourth Annual ME Picnic to be held on August 6, 2005. Now, most picnics are fun but they are, in fact, just picnics. Lots of hamburgers, some hot dogs for the kids, cole slaw, potato salad, and a true variety of desserts.

The San Diego couples are taking their picnic in a whole different direction. Excitement is already brewing! Last year these couples participated in a heated chili cook-off. Crockpots and extension cords were everywhere! Everyone who came to the picnic was allowed to taste the chili – not just two or three judges like in most cook-offs – everyone had a vote. Believe it or not, one recipe included grape jelly! After the competition, one couple shyly admitted that a can of fruit salad accidentally fell into their concoction (although theirs didn’t win, it was one of the top contenders!).

The date for this year’s picnic was just announced and already crockpots all over the city are warming up to allow ME chefs to massage their favorite recipes. But we’d like to heat up the competition even more! San Diego is open to special or unique chili recipes from ME couples all over the country. Send us your recipe, we’ll find someone to prepare it, and we’ll enter it into the competition for you! Email your recipe to: . Or, search out one of the many San Diego couples who will be at the Towson Convention and hand your recipe over!
