Good {time} Gator

Look out, Gainesville. The Dunns are here. And we are bringing the Gator. Chili that is, alligator chili.

It all started when I married this man:

Don't be jealous. Even if your man can't grow a beard like that...

We have a strict hunting policy in the Dunn household: 1) Don't kill it unless you will eat it. 2) Don't kill it unless it wants to kill you. I think alligators meet both of those criteria. So, this year my husband (and I) killed four alligators.

Which means we processed three alligators in our driveway.

Yeah, that's my driveway...

Which also means that he owes me a nice piece of jewelry in thanks for dealing with a skinned out alligator in my driveway.

Which also means that we have mucho pounds of alligator meat in our freezer. This is where you come in, friends:

We have been accepted as a competitor in the first annual "Bears N Beans Chili Cook-off" at local Swamp Head Brewery. So, help us eat some alligator.

Don't be confused, the competition was full when I tried to enter, but they made an exception for Alligator Chili. Wouldn't you?
