Mark your calendars for Los Gordos 14th Annual Anything Goes Chili Cook-off on Saturday, August 22, 2009 in La Bufadora! Rules are not as stringent
as "real" chili cook-offs but certainly more stringent than Club de Pesca's in San Felipe. We have a lot of fun all day long so we hope that not only
will many Nomads come chili tasting, but some of you will want to compete.
In addition to the chili cook-off there is also a salsa contest (the food not the dance) with two categories: hot and regular.
The cook-off starts at 12:00 noon and tasting starts at 3:00. Music, drawings, libations and fun in the sun at La Bufadora.
(be gentle, it's my first time putting together a site, but would appreciate feedback)
PS: judges wanted for both chili and salsa! Info on the website.

Just a little bumpity-bump so you Nomads are sure to include this chili cook-off in your Baja itineraries this summer. Comes just at the end of
Vendimia and would be a great way to end your vacation...by coming to taste or compete! And there is also a salsa competition so if you don't want to
compete in the chili cook-off, how about your best salsa. As a reminder, I took first place last year in the salsa contest
PS: Judges wanted! Check out the website for all the info:
The date is coming up fast! We have the pleasure of some "celebrity" judges this year, including Baja Nomad, Udo Winkler!
Come join the fun, Nomads! To top it off, fellow Nomad, Fred-O, is getting married that morning...well, technically, they got married last week in
San Diego, but the morning of the cook-off they are have a ceremony in Punta Banda.
Don't confuse Fred-O with Fred...who has been camping on our local beach for the past month or so. Also a great Fred! Hope he is still here for the
cook-off!

Rob, we won't be cooking this time, I will be a judge this time around. Bajabound and Bajamigo are in charge of the event so they won't be cooking
either. I look forward to the tasting this time.BajaRob - 8-1-2009 at 06:27 AM

I'll do a "real" report tomorrow. It's a bit of work running the thing although we had LOTS of help this year! We are still recovering! Nomad Udo
Winkler was a judge and he and Mrs. Udo stayed with us last night. He plied us with the most fantastic Mojitos when we returned from the chili
cook-off, I made a a lasagna...then, he topped that off with incredible fruit filled crepes. By then it was 10 PM; This AM, he and Jana made the
most unbelievable pancakes for us this morning, us and our fellow cook-off coordinators. Blueberries, currents, strawberries, buttermilk....to die
for! Then we had to spend the rest of the day recovering from the breakfast!
Word of advice: invite Udo and Jana to spend the night with you! He brings great wine, great food, and great company. Hey, even my dogs liked Udo
(loved Jana)! And they are pretty picky!
