Cryptid Soup

My wife, for those of you who don't know, is a professional chef. In two weeks, the North Market will be holding a Fiery Foods Festival, which is going to include an amateur salsa context, and a chili cook-off. Now, were it summer, I'm sure Barbara would be entering her justly famed Calico Salsa, but without heirloom tomatoes, that's a pointless endeavor. On the other hand, she makes a number of great chilis (yes, I know, anything that isn't Texas red isn't real chili, but let's pretend to be magnanimous briefly.) The one she settled on to enter is called Chupcabra Chili, after the famous cryptid of the same name. Why is it called Chupcabra Chili?

The complete story of Chupacabra Sunday can be found at her blog, Tigers & Strawberries.

Don't ask me -- I just do the art.
