Hello from Livonia MI

[merriman]

Hello! I've started competing in cookoffs this year (BBQ and Chili) and now I am driven to cook for anyone and everyone as often as possible!

I am so glad I found a forum! Finally, a place to collaborate and learn!

I am 36, happily married with a 4 year old (and another baby on the way). I work the daily grind of an IT Project Manager....zzzzzzzz.... and all I want to cook, baby, cook, cook, cook!

I am anxious to read and learn from you pros.... Oh, how I wish I had gone to CIA!

Cheers,
Steveo

John Glenn in '89, then moved south 3 times, constantly vowing to never come back to MI..... But I have no regrets, I like it here now.

Hmm, I am planning to enter the Snowflake Chili Cookoff in Jackson (Jan/Feb). It's a ways off, but it's time to plan, cook, and eat!
What's your thinking on that?

Coolness! Is there an entry fee? Where does one sign up to judge something like that? I have never entered any cooking contests, but I make a pretty mean pot of chili. Just had some last night, with cornbread. I froze it in a freezer bag last time I made a big batch. NUMMERS!
Do they have the "no beans" rule I have heard about in some of those cookoffs? Hit me up if u need a taste tester.
