I have had a recent urgent neurology referral and hospital stay with a possible dx of ALS. Still waiting on test results to come back from Mayo and Harvard and some more tessts to be run. Whatever this is has progressed since January from limping to fascilations to atrophy in the right leg and severe nerve damage with some of the same starting in my left leg.
I am determined to make lemonade out of this lemon (me) so my husband and I (who have cooked at the World Chili Championships many times) have moved up our annual cookoffs from July to May 24 and 25 at the Crossroads Market. The winners each day (the Alberta Championship and the Canadian Championship) will qualify to cook at the World Championships for the International Chili Society (www.chilicookoff.com). We will have at least two former World Champions cooking each day.
We have permission from the local ALS Chapter to do this as an official fundraiser and Chili Verde will be ready at noon, salsa at 12:30 and traditional red at 1:00. Tasting cups will cost $2.00 and you will be able to sample all the cook's chilis and salsa. So if you live in the Calgary area drop by and sample some really good chili and help raise money for a good cause.:mrgreen:
