Ice Cream Chili Cookoff

Our ward sponsors both an ice cream social and a chili cookoff. Every year the Van De Graaff family dutifully enters both and every year we come home without an award (not even a participation ribbon). Any tips?

  1. My mother used to put beans in a lot of things: soups, pies, even gravy. She was on the news and featured at a local festival for it. Maybe mixing in a secret ingredient will help your ice cream stand out (and also come with health benefits).

    1. Your mom is probably on to something. In recognition of that fact, please let her know that I am officially dedicating this gag to her.

  2. I use root beer for my stock. But don’t tell.

    1. Given your Father's Day activities, I am not at all surprised.
