Chili Cook-Off...

We weren’t actually planning on attending this year’s AWC Chili Cook-Off, but when I found out that Hannah and Austin, a young American couple we’d met at The Hague Hash, had joined the club so that she could enter the contest, we registered. Jimmy decided to make a vegan chili to guarantee that I’d have something to eat. We weren’t sure how to transport it since I gave away our crockpot, so he thought outside of the box and put it in the “growler” beer container that we got at a German monastery.

Hannah’s entry came in third place...

...and Jimmy’s came in first.

Amazingly, four years ago he was the club’s first vegetarian winner and now he won with the club’s first vegan entry.
