Food, Art, and a Great Cause


It's always fun to combine things that you love. For example, long bubble baths and cats... well... maybe that's a bad example, but we can think of dozens of things that we love that we wouldn't mind combining for an even MORE awesome experience. Tonight we had the chance to do just that.

We cruised into a local Chili's restaurant this evening looking to satisfy a sweet tooth with a piece of Chocolate Chip Paradise Pie (if it's not illegal for tasting so good, we don't know why not), and found that they were, once again, having their "Create-A-Pepper" fundraiser to benefit St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.

We happen to be the type of people that can find perpetual amusement when told to get creative with paper and crayons, but not everyone out there feels as we do about the artistic merits of the lowly crayon. And that's okay too, as coloring the picture is NOT compulsory. It's just a fun way of showing the world that you care enough to donate a buck (or ten) to a great organization that helps so many children in need. If you get a chance to get in and donate, have fun, eat some food, color a pepper, and send us pictures! We'd love to see your peppers.

BTW, if you happen to be in Euless, TX and stop at the Chili's near 121 and Glade, ask for Joanie.

Check out one of our peppers above. Photo quality in dimly lit family restaurants= not so good.
