Why am I laughing so much you may ask? Possibly because as we all know I am not the best cook in the world and I find it very funny that I am making a dish of chili as my entry into the cook off tonight. We need 10 entries and at this point I am not sure how many we have so mine may be needed to make up numbers.
These fabulous four are very good friends of mine from the past and kept popping into
Lime to see me and book some great tours. They fished yesterday and caught not only a lot of fish but the sun too.
This lovely couple brought in a fantastic dish for the contest and are super big dog lovers also like the rest of us.
Sharon B and Sharon C as we are getting known as, after a long Friday we are still smiling and ready to party!
The lovely Natasha who is a new addition to our team.
This young man was the first to buy a ticket and taste the chili's and of course got a thumbs up from us for wearing our colour! Not only was he cute but funny too, mum don't get excited he just saw his girlfriend off to the states a day ahead of him.
Check out the tablecloth still looking white!
Jo who was the whole reason for this event was outside recruiting people to come in and support the Saga Humane Society straight off the road with the loud speaker bless him.
Sharon C in a dress no less.
Cassidy was serving up the slime punch like a storm
A good crowd turned out to be our judges
Some familiar faces amongst the group
Jock who was gutted that he didn't know about this until it was too late as he boasts to make the best chili ever!
I still think Jo's was one of the best in there as it was a sneaky little number a bit like him really.
Prize time for the winners
Sharon C was the hands down overall winner with many of the votes
Goodness knows how but I came in second
These lovely ladies came in third so the women as always were all round winners!
Then there was the free raffle
Zac won these decadent
Cadbury's chocolates
My friend Rachel
Hoke from Michigan made a rum cake which I would say can compete with many bought ones.
Here she is happy to know that she is not only a great cook but can bake cakes along with the best of them. Cheers my friend see you again next year.
Is Cassidy just adorable in this hat or what? For someone who doesn't like to smile in photos she took a great picture and was raring to go this Friday evening.
Another smiley lady and someone we don't see very often in Lime, Laurie came by to have one of our Lime Castle burgers that we launched tonight.
Cassidy was feeling creative and someone has to try them so it might as well be me eh!
Ella is back out and about after here serious operation to her tendon which looks to have gone very well bless her! You know us all about the dogs as they are such a big part of our lives.
Charlie making the most of his last Friday night in Lime before heading back to Branson next week.
Umm what can I say apart from JD being the cheeky monkey we all know him to be and still love him anyway!
It's Friday night, it's 8pm and it's 50/50 time. The guest of honour this week is Charlie so lets see who is the lucky number that he is about to pick out of the bag.
Who is it?
Yerh it's Marie's turn this week finally, after been in it week after week.
Ella is happy about their win also as she just got Phil n Marie a small fortune for her leg op but as they both said worth every penny.
Not sure why Mr JD took it on himself to be behind the bar as I know he is no cocktail waitress and can't make anything other than a coffee and maybe pour a Jager.
It looked and tasted better in person but these little guys were a total hit and free with a pail of ale on Friday nights or they can be ordered for 6bz for 2 or 10bz for 4, good deal or what?
Ok stint over behind the bar and time for night nights, cheers everyone for now.
