DESERT RAT REGIONAL - MARCH 26, 2011
Well, the cozy little town of California City has endured another onslaught of chili cooks and a few bikers - of the heartiest type. It seems like winter didn’t get the message that it was supposed to be well South by now! It all started with us blowing into town on Thursday morning and getting set up on location, soon to be joined by Ray and Kyra of USC fame and later Bill Woodring who...
SMOKIN' BLUES CHILI COOKOFF
It was a beautiful day for a chili cookoff at Quaker Steak & Lube in Clearwater. We had the Up the Creek Blues Band and the World Champion Chili Chicks performing. Everyone had a good time. We want to thank Sergei and Marshall for being our Chief Judge and Scorekeeper. We got two new members and two members who had not cooked in a while renewing their memberships to cook with us. We had...

DESERT RAT REGIONAL - MARCH 26, 2011
It seems I have a wee problem. The leprechauns ran off with Dirty Ole Phil’s (better known as Him in Charge) stew challenge list before he could send it to me. The little buggers got into his computer and wreaked havoc on it. It seems that Him in Charge fell asleep in front of his computer with a bottle of Guinness. This obviously attracted the little guys to his computer. Dirty Ole Phil awoke to...
DESERT RAT REGIONAL - MARCH 26, 2011
February has faded into the history books, not to be seen for another year and the eyes of March are staring straight towards spring. The desert rat’s are scurrying about taking care of business with no more thought of winter. In fact, I know of one rather large desert rat that goes by the name of Dirty Ole Phil whose thoughts are turning towards chili. Him in Charge (as he likes to be...
ATTENTION CHAIRMEN - PLEASE READ!
With all the rule changes this year, it is important that you use the forms that have those changes reflected on them. I have been getting numerous sanctioning applications (along with memberships, contestant lists, cooks rules, flyer info, etc) that are the old ones, most likely copied from year to year. PLEASE - use of those forms will cause considerable problems for me as well as cooks,...
MORRO BAY TSUNAMI BEERFEST & CHILI COOKOFF
Morro Bay Tsunami Chili Cookoff & Beerfest
When arriving at the motel we were informed that they had just opened up. They had been shutdown because of the Tsunami warnings. We started to worry that maybe the cooks wouldn’t show up, but we cooks are a hardy bunch & a Tsunami wasn’t gonna keep them away.
We ended up with 21 Red Cooks (which made it a Regional for this year). ...

CINCO de MARZO - A CHILLY CHILI STROLL - MARCH 5,...
It was a lovely day for cooking chili in the mountain region of NH. A bit chilly, with some snow flurries in the morning, but temperatures stayed above freezing and even the bit of drizzle later in the day didn’t dampen anyone’s spirits. We had a great turn out of cooks for a first time cook off. We would like to thank Mark Mills, a local from the North Conway area, who decided to join the ICS and...

DESERT RAT REGIONAL - MARCH 26, 2011
DESERT RAT REGIONAL
California City
As February slowly fades away and March begins, it gives us hope of warmer days and our memory fades about that overgrown rat that said we had six more weeks of winter. In the Mojave Desert there lives desert rats that make no such dire predictions. In fact, I know of one rather large desert...

This cookoff is coming up this weekend. If everyone who indicated they are coming does, it looks like we’ll have 17 cooks. If you’re not one of them, can you find it in your heart to come out and make it a regional? We only need three more, five would be better in case somebody backs out.
