4th of July, Chili style

Evan, the Sweet One, and I had an enjoyable afternoon at the Palo Alto Summer Festival and Chili Cook-off. We took a bunch of photos, but the old-fashioned, film kind, so I won’t be posting them for a short while yet. In terms of the competition, the Sweet One voted for the Palo Alto Runners Club, Evan went for booth 16, but I had the correct answer: Home Brew. There was a pretty good turnout, probably 3,000 people or so, although this made for some long lines to get chili, especially at the Palo Alto Firefighters booth. The Zydeco Flames made some good live Cajun music including a rocking version of Al Green’s “Take Me to the River.”
