And while your guests are enjoying one another and waiting for the main course, serve them always popular deviled eggs. Yum, yum, yum.Bacon Cheddar Deviled Eggs from http://allrecipes.com INGREDIENTS: • 12 eggs • 1/2 cup mayonnaise • 4 slices bacon • 2 tablespoons finely shredded Cheddar cheese • 1 tablespoon mustard DIRECTIONS: 1. Place eggs in a saucepan, and cover with cold water. Bring water to a boil and immediately remove from heat. Cover, and let eggs stand in hot water for 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from hot water, and cool. To cool more quickly, rinse eggs under cold running water. 2. Meanwhile, place bacon in a large, deep skillet. Cook over medium-high heat until evenly brown. Alternatively, wrap bacon in paper towels and cook in the microwave for about 1 minute per slice. Crumble and set aside. 3. Peel the hard-cooked eggs, and cut in half lengthwise. Remove yolks to a small bowl. Mash egg yolks with mayonnaise, crumbled bacon and cheese. Stir in mustard. Fill egg white halves with the yolk mixture and refrigerate until serving. |

| Chili Cook Off | |||
 Ok, the rumors are true...for several years now, the Hillsborough/Orange County Chamber has been talking about hosting a chili cookoff and they're gonna pull the trigger!First Annual Chili and Salsa Cookoff Saturday, September 13 Eno River Parking Deck, Downtown Hillsborough Noon to 4 pm (or until chili runs out) Basically, an entrant makes at least 6 quarts of chili or 2 quarts of salsa and brings it to the Parking deck by 11 am on the day of the contest. Electricity will be provided to keep your entry at an appropriate temperature. Your entry will be rated on a hotness scale from 1 to 5, with 5 the hottest. A team of judges will sample each entry and award prizes to the top two contenders. The point of the chili is NOT to make it as HOT as possible! The point is to make it as DELICIOUS as possible. The heat ranking is so that someone who wants to sample your chili knows the heat value of it prior to putting spoon to mouth. Entries will be judged on taste, texture, appearance and overall goodness, not just heat! Meanwhile, volunteers will sell tickets for samples of chili or salsa. Five (5) samples will be $5. Beverages will be available for purchase as well! The public votes for the People's Choice winner, who gets a special prize. |
