Chili Cook-Off

On Saturday, my friend Ally and I attended the Harvard Square Chili Cook-Off. That girl loves chili, and I love any event that includes free food. There were eight vendors, a few of which had vegetarian and vegan options. There was also free ice cream, so, yeah, it was pretty much the best day ever..

Crema Cafe's chili was my favorite. The cilantro cream dressing was a great touch.

My friend Ally. Isn't she gorgeous?

Lizzy's was there handing out mango ice cream with chili powder seasoning. At first, you could only taste the mango flavor, but the aftertaste was all chili powder. It was spicy (like, really spicy) and weird and kind of delicious.
