MOLA does it again! A spirited subset of the MOLA Team concocted a "Laser Chili" entry into the Chili cook-off at the 32nd Lunar and Planetary Science Conference in Houston during March, 2001. For their effort the team walked away with the "Most Unusual Chili" award, due to a combination of creative ingredients, including Maryland crab, and effective culinary team work. Congratulations to the chefs!

The team, from left to right: Jake Bleacher, Susan and Katrina Sakimoto, Paul Withers, (Master Chef) Beth Bradley, Brooke Carter, Kelley Shokey, and Jim Roark.
