At a very large charro bean cook off competition, my dad had to grab some more beer and left me in charge of the beans while he stepped away. I was maybe 10-11 at the time. He comes back, asks me how the beans were doing and I said “exactly how you let them”, very proud of myself.
And I meant exactly that, hadn’t stirred them or anything. He immediately runs Over to check on them and the bottom layer is burned burned burned. It was too late do anything to recover from it as the cup of beans was due for judging so he angrily submitted his cup of beans that I had burned. Judges start up on the mic starting from 8th place and my dad starts grumbling even more because I had messed them up.
Judge gets to first place spot and who does he call out?? Our beans and we take 1st place out of probably 50-60 teams at the time!!
