Day 47

Today I participated in a chili cook-off for charity. The competition was great, and the whole event was a lot of fun. I managed to finish second in the voting, which meant I got the amazing trophy pictured here. As far as I can tell it's a beauty pageant trophy with a small picture of a bowl of chili taped over her bouquet. Best. Trophy. Ever.

Also a great way to finish off my 47 days.
