It was a hot, windy day in Sleepy Eye this past Saturday but I survived my first ever solo competition. Tried my hand at chicken legs for the first time and was happy with how they turned out along with the ribs! Wasn't my day with the judges as the results came in with chicken in 14th, ribs in 16th and 14th overall out of 20. Congrats to the teams who got calls, definitely deserved them! I will say I certainly missed my teammates, but mostly because I hadn't done a kale box in almost 5 years and it was not smooth for me but I made it work! We're taking a couple weekends off but will be back for Ribs N Rides in Mankato in July
