Now that I'm not paying extra for the AC to fight the stove, you bet! A neighbor put flyers on every door for blocks for a cookoff this Sun. There will be this innocent pot of white paste chowder, chicken, corn, beans, Hungarian hot wax, oleoresin Cayenne (a key to back heat), Habanero..... I just need a drop holster fat enough for my beer while I eat and mingle

WHERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I see a new Halloween party costume, so who sells them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The best thing about the Frito Bandito blanket ponchos is that wherever you pass out, you have a blanket under you and over you. |

When making chili the important thing to know is meat and chile peppers/powder. Everything else is secondary. A general guideline: Use ground chuck, course ground or cubed. Use at least 2 tbs. chili powder per lb. of beef. Cumin gives chili it's distinctive smell/flavor. Good things to add: onion powder, garlic powder, cilantro, oregano, paprika Things to avoid adding: tequila, beer, beans (until serving time), too much tomato Cayenne pepper controls the heat scale. Be very very careful with habanero.
