I am only 3 weeks out so I was just wondering and obviously not going o be chowing down LOL>.

That would be a meal

We have no real plans.  Not even sure where we'll be.  We were planning to go the beach for a few days, but we're waiting to see what tomorrow brings with this storm.  I have a feeling we'll be at my house.  Paul is planning to make chili, so this will be interesting since I don't think he's made it before.  Or at least not while I've known him!  I don't pay any attention to the game, but I usually watch the commercials.

See he's benefitting from cooking class too! lol

Apparently he's been watching Rachel Ray too!!!

chili is a good food all the time.  :-)
