Alumni Game!!

September 5, 2009

9431_266472355423_739730423_8504281_1016780_nTonight we went to the Carolina alumni basket ball game!!  It was so fun!!  Read about it here.  Lots of great Tarheels playing, coaching and cheering the other guys on.  They debuted the new lights and the player announcements were truly the highlight of the evening.  Chills up and down your spine every time they announced another spectacular Tarheel.  Out of all the great ball players we have had over the years it is hard to think about who were your favorites.  They are just all so good.  My personal favorites:  George Lynch, Shamond Williams, Rasheed Wallace, and currently Ed Davis. Who are your favorite Heels?

2nd Place

Not bad for a first go at a chili competition. 

So last night I took second place in the MBA chili cook off.  While you might think the competition was not too tough, there were 12 chilis and at least one of the judges had actually judged a legitimate chili competition before.  I made a white chicken chili that Kelly makes sometimes and we like it a lot. I think that making something different gave me the edge that I needed.  It was kinda of like being a singer and picking the right song to compliment your vocal style.  I am a decent cook but nothing special so I went for the white chicken chili so it would stand out as different and not blend in with all the other chilis.  So I guess it worked pretty well.  My favorite coment, “Hey man I just wanted to shake your hand, that chili was bad ass.  Best white chicken chili I have ever had.”
