A Plethora of Friday Men
I may have bit off more than I can chew. I decided it was high time to met all of these men my husband is hanging out with every day at “work”-and their wives.
Possessed by insanity, I said to Biceps, “Sure, invite all 30 guys (and wives and kids) over to our house on Friday. I’ll cook up some spicy chili.”
Sounds easy enough, right? And then I realized these men are MEN and won’t be eating one measly little “serving” of chili.
They’ll probably want two or three servings, if not more-and let’s not forget the wives. All in all, I’ll need enough for maybe 60+ servings. And then I began to make my grocery list.

I’ve decided in order to offset the cost of aforementioned grocery bill, I will be shooting a firefighter’s calendar that same evening, unbeknownst to my guest.
I will be taking orders*.

Chili is easy for a crowd. I have a chillaxin’ chili party every October. 2 big stock pots should be plenty. I also make a big pot of chicken chili. I roast one whole chicken and use the meat and broth off it plus sliced mushrooms and lots of white beans. Look for Cha Cha’s Chicken Chili on allrecipes. Thanks to you I used dry beans this year and saved a lot of money there. People always want to bring something so when they call and ask I tell them what to bring like cheese, sour cream, chopped onion…it works out really well. Oh, I also tell them I will have tea and water of they want something else feel free to bring it. Good luck!
Kayle and chili?? Is this a good idea? 30 men and chili?? What are you thinking??????
