1st place was a tolerable white chili, no heat to speak of. 2nd place was what I rated second as well. Mild heat. Fucking Minnesotans talking about it like it was the hottest thing they've ever eaten.
Random idea for high-lethality D&D campaigns: Character death unlocks new classes and races. Maybe useful in “special snowflake” campaigns where no one reads your carefully crafted setting material.

I don't eat chili without a bottle of Cholula on standby
ReplyDeleteWe have a chili cookoff at work tomorrow. The curry chili always wins. I'm not really a fan. Maybe I'll hack the voting app again...
