Last year, my dad and I decided to take a trip, just the two of us. My dad found out about the International Chili Cook-off in Terlingua, Texas, and we decided to enter. Chili is a kind of stew with meat, tomatoes, onions, and a lot of spices, and a chili cook-off is a competition to see who can cook the best chili. For weeks before the trip, my dad experimented with chili recipes. We decided on a spicy and delicious vegetarian version. Terlingua, here we come!
