In the summer of 1980, I joined a chili cook-off team. I was bored and was getting tired of the bar scene. One of my gal pals, who was the Team Captain, asked if I was interested and I said yes.
They were a lot of fun. Always held on a Saturday at one of the nearby towns. We never made it out to Terlingua although we tried to do well enough to be invited.
It was very surreal as I was the only female on the team. The cook-offs always involved alcohol and hard liquor. I always wore very short shorts that showed off my thighs and my nice legs, flip flops that showed off my pretty red painted toes, and a top that showed off my boobs (I never wore a bra during those as it was too hot). I could feel my nipples hardening from time to time and I wondered of those guys saw my nipples poking through my shirt.
Besides the guys on my team hitting on me and flirting with me - the guys on the other teams would stop by to chat with my teammates and THEY flirted with me!
One of the guys on my team was married and he hit on me a lot! One of my friends on the team asked if he was starting to bother ne and I said no. I am used to it. Guys hit on me all the time.
We had a chili cook-off coming up in a few weeks and it was going to be in our hometown. It was going to be in July and near my birthday and I decided to up my game a bit.
