Chili Cook-off

Today was our first ever embassy chili cook-off. We schemed, we shopped (we emailed the chili champion of the world, my brother Dan) and we made a hot lunch date to cook together. Paul snuck home from work this afternoon on his lunch break, we put the kids down for naps and we chopped, diced and spiced our way to chili bliss.

How can you not love a man who cooks in a shirt and tie..with a ruffled apron bearing ric-rak? You just can't.

We whipped up a spicy, filet mignon, black and kidney bean chili, garnished it with our/Paul's famous guacamole, drizzled it with chipotle sour cream and finished it with fresh cilantro and Frito crumbs.

We did not win tonight, but we didn't need to win. We've already won.
