So this year our ward activities committee decided it would be fun to have a chili cookoff. We went up to the Brigham City Stake Girls Camp (just outside of Mantua) and enjoyed a smörgåsbord of fantastic chilies.
The judging was intense. I'm not saying that Brother Kohler's wife had a pony in the race, but . . .
Becca and Ellie were extremely hopeful mom would win.
The judges settled on a winner
And awarded the Golden Spoon to Sister Burt
They awarded Mary "The Hottest" . . .
. . . and they liked her chili too.
