a parental moment here -

     Byron had entered into a Chili Cook-off a local bar near their home was hosting. He had taken my recipe, added his own twists to it, tweaked it some more, and wrote down the recipe.
     The cook-off was this past weekend. He placed sixth out of eleven :-D !!!!
     For his very first time entering such a contest, all of us thought that was a very good placing!!!
     In fact, his dad (my husband) said, "At that placing, I wouldn't even consider changing the recipe. I'd just keep entering more contest with it. If after five or six times I didn't move up any, then I'd look into slow gradual changes. But I think sixth out of eleven is really impressive for his first go!"

:-D Good job Byron!!! !!! !!! !!! !!!
