Chili, anyone?

Our moms' group took the chance to cook together & entered in our parish's Great Chili Cook-Off. It was a fundraiser for the kids going to World Youth Day & the first time anything like that had been tried at our parish. We made red wine chili... thanks to my friend Renee for passing on the recipe... & set out for a focus on the wine with a French theme. I had a fabulous time cooking, serving, & eating with such great gals. We didn't win (one-upped by one of our hubbies!) but it was fun. Thanks to everyone who contributed or helped in any way! I'm up for a rematch...
