Way back in March (I believe it was March 2), we had a chili cook-off at work. There were 14 entries and mine was the only vegetarian one. The panel of judges consisted of 3 avowed omnis who were not in our department. I entered only so I would have something to eat, knowing that I would still have a full crock pot to take home at the end of the day. I made the only chili I've ever loved, the Black Bean and Sweet Potato Chili from The Great American Detox Diet along with the corn muffins from Vegan Lunch Box. Imagine my great surprise when I won third place for my chili! The judges said the only reason I didn't win first place is that there was no meat in my chili. Whatever. I was thrilled with third, especially because that was their criteria. Oh, and I'm pretty sure that I went home with an empty crock pot. :)

Hey Vegyogini
Thank you so much for the offer on the Green Festival Tickets. I really appreciate it. I'm actually volunteering with some friends so we already get in for free. If you still wanted to give those tickets away I'm sure I know someone here who would like them. Here's my email lil_mayer04@yahoo.com- just send me an email and I will give you my address. Thanks so much- I wish you could be here to enjoy it!

I had chili today too! You keep posting about things I've eaten that day (first the chard, now the chili)! Great vegans think alike :o).
Awesome job showing those omnis that they don't really need meat in their chili...
