Sounds good actually. Is there any prize for the best chili?

Usually when they get the civic departments involved it will be where all proceeds go to charity. I would guess they get a trophy or plaque but probably no cash prize.

Bill, this week I saw two different rankings of the best sweet tea and on both of these lists Milo's won. On one they thought Arizona Sweet tea was the absolute worst and compared it to poison. I was out o town last week and drank Arizona because I couldn't find Milo's and I still think it is fine. Honestly, I don't even know if they sell Milo's out west.

I always figured in the southeast the groundwater is actually sweet tea and it’s just pumped out of the well. There might be more sweet tea than drinking water down there.

I don't drink sweet tea. I drink a powdered mix of Wyler's lemonade and tea- an Arnold Palmer, but I mostly drink water.
The cook-off was interesting. It was a regional competition with ten recipes, with three advancing. $5 got you a small sample of each, and you could buy a decent-sized cup for $1—lots of community booths and giveaways. I didn't stick around for the judging.
There were a couple of trophies on display, but I think its a matter of pride.
I couldn't believe how young many of the firemen looked. I spoke to two that I was sure couldn't be out of high school and they were both certified firefighters

I was in Sam’s Club the other day, talking to an old geezer (about the same age as me) who was stocking shelves. I asked him how he liked it, and he said it’s fine, it’s easy, he works about 25-30 hours a week and it’s his casino money. He goes up to Mohegan Pocono and plays low stakes blackjack until he either wins $100 or loses $100, whichever. I didn’t ask him whether he was ahead or not, I figured he’d lie no matter what.

Cranberries.
Gambling related, since I used to take a route through cranberry country as I made my weekly tours to redeem freeplay. Depending on time of day, one of the properties was closed, so a different route became a more practical solution. That route took me right past an Ocean Spray warehouse, where numerous cranberry trucks would come to unload the harvest from the bogs.
I didn't pay close enough attention to notice if they were focused on juice or whole fruit.
Wisconsin grows a lot of cranberries. (Ginseng and potatoes too, but I digress.)

Quick Food Trivia Quiz #10 Answers
Ginsu
Originally sold as Quikut knives, the brand changed its name to Ginsu (a made up word) in the 70s to evoke the imagery of Japanese samurai swords. The TV commercial made using the new name would become a legend in the advertising world. It was a masterpiece of the hard pitch style using the "but wait, there's more!" technique.
The commercials bled into the pop culture notably being often referenced by Johnny Carson on "The Tonight Show" for laughs. Never the less, the ads sold on average around 350,000 sets of Ginsu knives per year for the next decade. The brand also gained some notoriety in the 90s when Lorena Bobbitt used a Ginsu kitchen knife to sever her husband's masculinity while he slept.
Salmon
Lox is a fillet of brined salmon, which may (or may not) be smoked. It's a Scandinavian dish that became popular with the Jewish people of eastern Europe. In America, with the connecting of the two coasts by railroad, pacific salmon packed in salt started to be shipped all over the country. Jewish immigrants, particularly those in New York, began to make old world lox with the fish but added a new world twist. In what would become the standard U.S. style, lox was served on a bagel with cream cheese and (typically) topped with a slice of tomato and some onions.
Somewhat surprisingly, this dish became a derogatory term in the Jewish community. Older Jews, especially those newly arrived, would be dismissive of the "lox and bagel" Jews for being too Americanized.
Cranberry
Ocean Spray began in 1930 when three farmers in Massachusetts banded together to promote their cranberries. Today it boasts more than 700 member growers across the country. It's an innovative co-op that has many firsts. It's very popular cran-apple juice became the first juice blend in the industry. They also introduced the juice box which would become a school kid's lunch staple. Finally they created the craison, a sweetened and dried cranberry popular as both a snack food and with bakers.
So successful is the co-op that they had the luxury of turning down a buyout offer by Pepsico in 2004. Ocean Spray is currently the world's largest grower of cranberries.
John Daly
The "who?" and "where?" in the creation of the John Daly cocktail is debatable, but the "how?" and "why?" are pretty easy to guess. Golfer Arnold Palmer would always order his favorite drink, a blending of iced tea and lemonade, at the clubhouse and hotel bars servicing the PGA tour. Not surprisingly, the drink became known as the Arnold Palmer. Bartenders (being bartenders) began to experiment with the drink, adding various types of alcohol with vodka becoming the most common mix. This cocktail became known as an adult (or dirty) Arnold Palmer.
Flash forward to the 90s and John Daly, with his monster drives, is the hot new thing in the golfing world. Unfortunately, it becomes an open secret that the man enjoys a drop of the true a little too much than is good for him. So it isn't hard to imagine the following conversation taking place at the 19th holes across the country...
Thirsty Customer: Bartender, I'll have an Arnold Palmer with vodka. Whaddaya call that?
Bartender (with a grin): A John Daly.
Nearby Drinkers: Ahh ha ha ha. That's a good one!
So the drink was born and the Jon Daly began appearing on the cocktail menus of golfer bars and then those beyond the golfer bars. But when John Daly, himself, heard about the drink's popularity he declared the unauthorized use of his name to be a trademark violation and threatened to sue everyone. However, like many artists and celebrities in a similar situation, he soon realized the utter impracticality of such a threat. Instead he chose the wiser "if you can't beat them, join them" path by starting his own bottling company to make what it declares to be "The Original John Daly" including variations such as the southern version that uses bourbon and mint instead of vodka.
Bacon
Bacon has enjoyed a huge surge in popularity over the last few decades. The phenomenon has been dubbed "Bacon Mania" and has resulted in everything from chocolate covered bacon strips served in restaurants, through bacon themed t-shirts and lunchboxes, to bacon flavored dental floss and lip balm.
Nobody seems to know how bacon mania got started, but some food historians think it's basically a giant middle finger aimed at the health industry and lifestyle.

Church's Texas Chicken.
I bought a $20 family box with ten pieces of dark meat, a mashed potato, and cole slaw. What I received was eight pieces of chicken and eight tenders. I'm not sure what size the sides should be, but one was twice the size of the other. I think I'll get two dinners and a lunch out of it. The cole slaw was exceptional, but the chicken was mediocre.

And of course you shared it with your whole family, you didn't sit in the parking lot of the restaurant and eat it. Right? When I was 16 in 1965 I got my driver's license in June and I'd never had Kentucky Fried Chicken and in those days there was only two in the whole city which is like 15 miles away. I got a 20 piece bucket for $3.99 and I sat in the parking lot and ate 17 pieces of it and on the way home I pulled over on a side road and puked my guts out. I didn't have Kentucky Fried Chicken after that for at least 25 years.

May I paraphrase that as "Stop not liking foods I like"?
I eat bacon... just not a pound at a time. A few strips, maybe.
Given the option, I prefer sausage. (A nice breakfast kielbasa is hard to beat.) Or spam. Or ham. Or a chicken-fried burger. Or Buffalo wings. Or a lousy little steak. Or a pork chop. Or a few sardines. Or a scoop of pulled pork (dressed with vinegar sauce, if available). Or gyro meat. Heck, a nice slice of spanakopita. A scoop of leftover sloppy joe filling goes great on a breakfast egg sandwich. Or lamb korma...
... but, if needs must, bacon it is. The girls like bacon, and I'm not usually in the mood to cook everyone's plate to order.

Rare burgers with bacon guacamole. I was watching a video about a Chicago restaurant and a guy ordered this and it looked really good so I made it for dinner. The thing about burgers is never cook them with a lid on because then you're steaming them more than you're frying them. You want that crust that forms on the outside and you can't really get that if you put a lid on the pan. Turnip fries cooked in the oven with garlic and onion powder and smoked paprika on top, they were really good.

Yesterday: Nashville Hot Chicken, but grilled instead of fried. Frying is a pain in the ass. Smoke Show is chipotle, smoked ghost, and Reapers. That chicken was ANGRY. Served with home made haluski and home opened canned green beans, because Mrs Mosca loves them. But she doesn’t love hot stuff, so she just got grilled chicken.

Egg & cream cheese sandwich.
Toasted the hamburger bun and some deli turkey, scrambled an egg and fried it up - round and poofy.
Smeared a bit of cream cheese on the hot bun and assembled.
Cream cheese on a warm sandwich gets delightfully gooey.
(I'll probably do another tomorrow, and may snap a photo.)
BECSPK it ain't, but since I'm not a fan of kaiser rolls either...

Wife is out of town so I grilled some shrimp for dinner.

I'm not a fan of any of 7-Eleven's hot food offerings -
but they're coffee rocks________like totally
many different choices - I love their Columbian - really strong
I don't go for flavored coffee that often but when I do their cream choices are awesome - my fave is Caramel Macchiato
I guess when walking around with a 7-Eleven cup I don't have prestige - like the Starbucks coffee drinkers with their Starbucks cups
who cares______?______ not me

Oh my God a real picture! Other than by me and Mosca. Things are looking up in this thread.
