This Friday marks The Great Chili Cookoff at church, and I’ve decided I’m totally breaking tradition. Instead of popping my head into the party with a big bowl of fiery red stuff, I’m going to waltz on in with a pretty pot full of white chicken chili.
Of course, with a pot such as that, and a recipe such as this, I’m going to have to do some serious outfit coordination. One can not walk into a church Chili Cook-Off with a bowl of white chili without making a statement.
I think my statement shall be, “white is the new red.”
That’s catchy, no? It sounds like the sort of thing you’d hear on a Superbowl commercial. It sounds like it’s got jingle potential. It sounds like the sort of statement that will get church ladies chittering.
Then again, it also sounds like the sort of statement that would see me wearing white after Labor Day. Uh-oh. I can’t very well make a statement that indicates my uber-fashion cluelessness.
And, anyway. Who wants to wear white shoes to any sort of party, when there are red shoes to be had?
That’s it. I’m officially changing my statement. It shall now be, “Eat your own dagummed chili.”
Because, now that I’m wearing my red shoes to the party, I’ve got enough attitude to admit.
I don’t plan on sharing a single bite.
