The Great 2013 Cinco De Mayo Backgammon Tournament And Chili Cookoff Challenge 05/04/13


Sue and I hosted our latest backgammon dinner party, The Great 2013 Cinco De Mayo Backgammon Tournament And Chili Cookoff Challenge, on Saturday May 4th. Because of the busy weekend of parties, a Dover road race, and other events our turnout was small, but we had a great time.

Sue and I had tried going out on the deck before the party to get started on some backgammon. Though the sun was out and temps had been in the high 50s, it just wasn't comfortable out there.

So, we moved into the living room and got things going as folks started to arrive. I ended up 1 point down for the sets we played before I got to playing a set with Rick, which I came out 1 point up on.

We had decided to have a chili cookoff for those coming. Both Tony and the Houses put up such good meals that we declared it a tie: Tony's for it's hot and spicy flavors and the Houses for the smooth mix of beans and herbs. Great stuff! And Sue fixed not only rockin' Margaritas, but also a super sopapilla cheesecake.

We ended off the night with the 2012 movie, Argo; interesting from its partially true/complete historical perspective, and the cast was great.
