Club Meeting – Saturday, March 14, 2009 noon-3pm Sixth Annual Chili Cook-Off and Swap Meet CSPS Hall, 383 Michigan St., St. Paul Once again, it is time for our annual Chili Cook-Off! There are three categories in which you can enter: Red Chili – meat, but NO beans Chili with Beans – not really chili, but we're here to have fun! Open – green, vegetarian, white, whatever Like last year, we'll have everyone vote for their favorite for each category and then have everyone vote for their favorite overall. The winner of each category gets a prize and the overall winner gets a prize and the honor of bringing home the Chief Chili Pepper trophy! Chief Chili Pepper is hurting right now, but I'll try to patch him up before the meeting. You can help out by bringing your chili ready to eat in crock pots and bringing along extension cords and serving utensils. Bowls, spoons, and napkins will be provided. The March meeting also features a swap meet. There are people that may want items you no longer need. You may find items yourself that will help upgrade your brewing operation. Bring stuff; take stuff. Mike Moranz will also be speaking a little bit on peppers and their use in beer and mead. Of course we welcome all the home brew you would like to bring to the meeting, especially beers that go well with chili. We even like mead and ciders.
