You would think I was Amish



If you saw my cart in Aldi grocery store you would probably think I drove a horse and buggy that morning but alas no.
Is this the most ridiculous amount of chili ingredients you have ever seen???? 

The punks and I (one pirate in attendance) made 9 batches of chili on Thursday. We have been stuck at home for way too long and were starting to go stir crazy. I enlisted their help and we whipped up all of this in a matter of about 2 hours. I am doing a meal trade with my MOPS group so hopefully all this hard work will pay off. (don't worry the puffy paint did not go into the chili. made shirts with that before the chili and never got the table cleared off.)
Here's the end result. Man that is a lot of chili. (notice all the squash on the next shelf!) hah!!!!! Poor Cabana Boy. All I feed him is chili and squash.

Oh and here is our supervisor.

I'm off to go fill the gas lanterns and throw an extra blanket on the beds. Don't tease I really am going to do that. I may not be Amish but i do live in an old, cold house in the middle of Indiana Amish Country.
Night all,

I LOVE this idea! Wish I had someone to trade meals with! Are there "rules" or guidelines your MOPS group used to do this (so you don't get duplicates, etc.)?
