You do know you are going up against some tough chile winners. The first annual chile winner is coming this year. AND, I just had some for lunch and WOW................gonna be hard to beat.:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::firstplace:

[Chicago-Spike]

Nope, sorry but the first years second place finisher will win this year. That would be me I think, wasn't I second?? Anyway, I just finished mine and it is GREAT!! Best batch I have made in a loooong time. Went back to basics this go 'round and it made a heck of a difference!!:firstplace:

[Nardo_X]

[Chicago-Spike]

HEY!! Let's not forget the Blackhawks are on Channel 9 at 6pm tonight!! This better be on the TV there Doyle, or I may go commando under me kilt Lassie ;)

[Smoken'JOE]

Blackhawks????????????
Is that a basketball team??????????

[Chicago-Spike]

Yeah, that's a sport that Wisc. somehow missed out on. You guys sure have the weather for it up there though, it's called hockey Joe. Even Florida has a team now and they have never seen ice except in little cubes in their drinks down there. :D


Edit:: Now that I think about, you guys use all your ice up there for fishin'

[Smoken'JOE]

AND the winner is Acrotech..........with a one vote second place going to the Warden.
Thanks to all that brought their favorite Chile.

The Christmas party was a blast. Thanks Doyles for all the great food, Gourmet pizza, hot wings and great friends and family.
Now get some of those pics posted guys.
Merry Christmas to all.
