And the winner is...

Lorraine and Elaine celebrate Lorraine's People's Choice Award

Last Sunday we had the first (but not the last) Ola Lola's Chili Cook-off. It was a very close contest but the People's Choice winner was Lorraine Katt. Lorraine's sister, our good friend Eileen, owns a house down the little calle near the beach. Lorraine, Eileen, and their friends Kathy and Clare were all here for a long girls-weekend-out-of-the-cold on Long Island. They came prepared to make chili! They even carried a crock-pot all the way from New York.

Susan's Chili took second. Diver Darryl's toned-down chili was the unanimous choice for Spiciest. Other Darryl's was the most unusual and Clare's was the only vegetarian entry.

Thanks to everyone who participated, whether as a chili chef or chili taster. We had a lot of fun doing this. Watch for the Second Annual Ola Lola's Chili Cook-off next year. We'll plan it earlier to really help take the chill off a Puerto Rican winter evening.

All the participants- Back row: Diver Darryl, Lorraine, Elaine, Clare, Other Darryl.
Front row: John, Susan
