Los Compadres Cook Off in Sullivan City 4-24-10

Team Casanova was not the same for this cook off...we were missing one key person, Carlos Torres, the backbone of the team. TC wanted to help out the local catholic church and we made it to the cook off -1. Gilbert had a sprained ankle to top it off. The team was relying on Isidro "I might have to work" Casanova, Manuel "Did somebody call a wrecker" Garcia and Maribel "Pan De Campo Queen" Garcia to pull through. Well, pull through they did. We want to thank our faithful groupies that came out to support us. Rudy & Sandra Rivera and family, Jesus & Laura Ruiz and family, and my parents Gloria and Gilbert Sr.
