Long-time readers will remember that Team Fergmeijer loves to cook (as evidenced by our hit series of unpublished cookbooks). Hearing about our enthusiasm for all things edible, a group has reached out to us to take part in a chili cook off. The teams have to be anonymous for judging purposes, so we have to come up with a team name. We could use any feedback from you, lovely readers, on our options: Chili Con Carnage; The Spice Cadets; Red Hot Chili Preppers; The Scoville Scalawags; The Capsaicin Crew; Inferno Incognito.
The problem with our Short Poems for a Short Month challenge is that it wraps up so quickly! Just one more week to email us your submissions. Since this week’s column appears to be chili related, here is one contribution:
There once was a cook from Kagawong,
Whose chili was fiery and strong.
With peppers so hot,
One bite, you’d see spots—
And be sweating the whole day long.
In related news…St. John’s Anglican church is holding a chili luncheon on Saturday, March 8th (11-2pm). Now, these nice folks won’t get jalapeno business if you don’t stop by, but would you really want to miss out on some delicious homemade chili dinner that includes biscuits and refreshments for just $14? Desserts are available, also and it can all be eaten at the church or take it home with you.

This year is the 100th anniversary of the Old Mill in Kagawong and the museum board is planning a variety of ceremonial events and is looking for additional historical information.

A good-bye haiku
Doesn’t have to be drawn out,
Lengthy, laggard, dawd…
Have a great week!
