Becky had the brilliant idea to have a chili party which included a chili contest and Yankee swap. The party was a complete success with several hearty recipes competing for number one. All in all, an excellent call for a cold January night.
Jenny and I went to have dinner with Amy and Aaron, and Otis. I hadn’t seen Amy and Aaron in about a year and it’s been ages since Amy , Jenny and I have been together. All this wonderful splendiferousness of visiting with my good friends was enhanced by a tasty meal cooked up by Amy- all by herself.

We were introduced to the Hot Dog Safari by the Phantom Gourmet. They said it was a hot dog festival for charity that included all-you-can eat hot dogs, ice cream, and lots more. It turns out it’s a Boston tradition for the last 17 years. We just had to be there.
For some it’s Mecca, others St. Peter’s or Lourdes; for us, it’s the Ben and Jerry’s factory in Waterbury, Vermont.
