Jon & First Person Museum

Those few of you that actually come to look @ our blog may have noticed that I had linked Jon's blog for his Materials Cultures class on the right earlier this semester.
On Friday, November 12th, we were able to go on a date as Jon participated in a gallery talk.
It was really interesting for me to see him "in his element", as it were.
Temple University did a nice article with video of the class/process.

Our "Award-Winning" Golden Ladle Chili

The Elders Quorum had their annual Chili Cook Off on Saturday.

The basis of our recipe can be found here, but we did tweak it a bit.

Since Jon's allergic to chili powder, he made his own.
In case you can't tell, Jon named ours Black-Eyed Surprise.
I made mini cheesy corn meal muffins to go with it.

In a pleasantly surprising turn of events, we won Best Chili Overall.
The recipe was pretty easy & tuned out so good.

Plus, it's Jon allergy-approved!
All in all, it was a fun night with our Ward Family.
