While this year's PP Ball will have fewer events, we still plan to have a Chili and desert cookoff.  Like last year, winner will be selected by simple majority, and all are welcome to participate.  We will have a signup on the site in May, but I wanted to get the word out, and have people start to think about participating.  Post here

As some know, due to a market-induced pause put on my house purchase plans (anyone know where the bottom will be?), I don't have a sufficient kitchen this year, and will likely not cook.

Now, if someone whats to "loan" me their kitchen and help out, perhaps we can turn it in to a team effort.

Unfortunately, we may have to cancel the event if we don't get more interest.

I am sorry, I should have said "suitable kitchen" instead of just "kitchen" in my prior post. 

I don't want to cook the chili on the same stove that boils your enema...

Didn't you once through feces around your house at a party, or was that Dufay?  And maybe it wasn't feces.  You know how these stories get exaggerated after each telling.

Speaking of party planning, I proposed a fart lighting contest, but the idea was shot down.

I'm in this year [Rick]

mmmmm, I heard yer chili is the bomb rick....  can't wait.

When is the cookoff?

Saturday evening (5/30), serving at 6:00-7:00p (exact schedule TBD)

I wanted to reach out to everyone and remind you the Ball is coming up in 2 weeks.  I need folks to re-confirm if you are participating (Ray, Rick, Ben, and I am not sure if Chris was saying he'd participate).

I am pleased to also announce I will be participating, but will be cooking far less than last year.  I've got to split the goods between the PP Ball and an upcoming Selway trip.

Also, if anyone else would like to participate, please make your intentions known here.

Sure, Hugo.  However, the Chelan county board of health says I have to have your full name and social security number before you unleash this "recipe" on the unsuspecting masses.
