HARVEST CHILI, HIDDEN FIGURES:

HARVEST CHILI, HIDDEN FIGURES:

(and a little moonshine!)

Our hidden figurers computer group ladies have the night off from NASA They decided to make some chili together. There may be some trouble brewing…

Dorothy Vaughn’s kitchen – after work…

Katherine (holding up the moonshine jar): Dorothy, did you label this batch?

Dorothy: Of course.

Mary: That’s new.

Dorothy: Unlike some (large eye-roll), I learn from my mistakes.

Katherine: Good. Last time, the warning label was missing.

Mary (stirring the pot): According to my calculations, this chili is exactly seventeen minutes away from greatness.

Katherine (holding Dorothy’s moonshine jar and examining the label): Dorothy, should this be classified as a beverage or a propulsion system?

Dorothy (chopping peppers): Depends on how much you drink.

Mary: We’re making chili, not launching a rocket.

Katherine: At NASA, those were often the same thing.

Dorothy: That’s because nobody ever had my chili.

Mary: Nobody was brave enough to sample your moonshine first.

Later: (no one knows how much later)

Dorothy (carefully chopping vegetables): You know, most people don’t inspect every ingredient before it goes into the pot.

Katherine: Most people aren’t trying to achieve perfection.

Mary: There she goes. 

Dorothy: I knew it. The moment she picked up that jar, she started running calculations.

Katherine: Actually, I was estimating the probability of this evening ending with one of us singing.

Mary: And? Is that before or after the infusion?

Katherine: Based on historical data, extremely high after.

Dorothy: You’re extremely high… We all will be after dessert.

Dorothy: Was there a warning label?

Mary: “Sip carefully. You wrote it on the lid.”

Katherine: That wasn’t a warning. That was a challenge.

Dorothy: Ok, let’s EAT! Mary, bring the infusion to the table.
