3rd Annual Chili Cook Off
PROGRAM: “Sweaters,
Chili and Cookies”. Please wear your Norwegian
sweater to this meeting. We will again hold our ever
popular chili cook-off. Prizes will be offered in 2 categories:
RED meat (beef, pork, or some combination) and non-red (eg.
chicken, veggie). For those not into cooking chili, or who would
like to do both, we will also have a cookie contest. There are 2
categories here, also: the best Norwegian cookie (to
share), and the most cookies packaged for donating to
Barnebirkie (preferably no nuts). Pick your contest! Enter more
than one. If you are not entering a chili or cookies to be judged please contribute a side or dessert that goes with chili.
Cultural note: you will notice that both the January meeting with your smørbrod and your cookies give you the opportunity to show-off your Norwegian cooking skills. Be sure to document your efforts with photos so you can complete your application for a cooking medal. The first level medal is your favorite (Norwegian) recipes, so get started.
February is "Norwegian Sweater Month" at Sons of Norway", so wear your Norwegian sweater to this meeting.

COOKIES?
YES! 1,000 children participate in
the Barnebirkie and they get hungry as do all the others
participating and attending in ski events over the weekend. In
prior years Skjold Lodge and other District 5 lodges have
donated over 1,500 DOZEN cookies for a
single event! Cookies should be nut-free.
Please label your bag or box with the approximate count in
dozens. If you don't get around to baking, we will also accept
money for buying “Oreos” or other appropriate cookies. Photo
