My chili won third place at the competition, though apparently it was (unofficially) First for flavor by the popular vote. Why did it get third? Because our welding club isn't a member of the Rotary Club, and only a rotary club member can win First. Their chili was decent, but not as spicy as mine. On the bright side, the chili I made yesterday is much better than the one I made for the cookoff. It's nice being this good at cooking. I wonder if I could get a job cooking for a firehouse or a forestry camp?
UPDATE: There were 18 entries total, so I was better than 15 of them, officially speaking. I put it on my resume. Apparently the club won $100 and will be putting the money toward Argon and Oxygen gas to finish the semester since the school has underfunded the department again. I still think they're trying to get rid of the program since they've got the Auto Shop next door to fulfill their Vocational School requirement.
