Well hello there. Finally got power back last night! That brings the total to 8 days without power. Still don’t have phone or cable at my house, so that has been interesting. Just lots of movie watching going on :-). Thank goodness the power is back though. There are still some people who do not have it, so I am lucky. Remember that chili cook-off I was telling you about? It happened the night of the horrible snowstorm we had. And guess what? (no not chicken butt Patrick) I won! The chili I am sharing with you today is award winning! Ok, well not really award winning, but I did…
