Chili

[Rocnerd]

Well, I didn't go out hunting this year, so no venison or other more exotic meats, but I am trying this chili for the Super Bowl, GO STEELERS!, festivities.  I will be hitting the bread place to hopefully get some nice small round loaves of bread to hollow out and use as bowls.  Thanks for the recipe Richard.  I'm afraid everyone eating it besides me is going to be a frail woman or acting like one, so I will use the minimum amount of chili powder for this first try.  I'll let you know how it turns out.  Did I mention, GO STEELERS!

Roc:

Thanks, good luck (with the frail women), and GO STEELERS!   (And just remember that all great chili is a "work in progress.")

Richard,

I was thinking today about your chili.  It's still sounding very good, and we are going to try it out.

Bill:

If you do, I hope you and your guests enjoy it.   (I grew up on the stuff.)

Richard, thats why you are a big strapping lad.
Go SEAHAWKS.

Well, all I can say is OUTSTANDING!  That is some good chili.  The beer and the honey makes it.  I added a little more garlic and in spite of the "frail women"  added one more tablespoon of chili powder than minimal and a couple teaspoons of cayenne for a little added heat.  After simmering for two and 1/4 hours and the STEELERS in the lead we ladled the Garvin County chili into its corresponding bread bowl, added some aged sharp cheddar and everyone was in chili heaven.  Eat some chili, rip some of the bowl off to dip in the chili, have a swig of beer,  mmmm mmmm good.
Thanks for the recipe Richard.  Its left over chili tonight for dinner.

Roc:

Thank you for the kind words.  I'm pleased that you and your guests liked it.  

I made a pot of it before the game yesterday (staying with the minimums for the sake of a "frail woman" and her children who were in attendance) and then proceded to eat so much at halftime that I almost foundered myself.

Sounds like a perfect day for chilli, thanks Richard, you were on the right side this time.

Tom:

The game "wasn't too pretty," as one commentator observed, and a couple of the calls against the Seahawks were very, very close.  As I saw it, it could have gone the other way.

Next year . . . look for the Tennessee Titans to win it all!

While Richard, it looks like Denver is looking for a new coach.
Maybe, Jerry and Bill could get the Cowboys there....ha!

Richard, Chile recipe sounds good I am going to give it a try.  I made a batch of my chile for superbowl party. It went something like this. Pound of Bear chopmeat. Pound of venison chopmeat. Pound of stew meat  1/2 bear 1/2 venison. Brown meat , add 10 chopped chile peppers. 10 chopped Jalapeno peppers. 4 long green hot peppers.  Couple cloves garlick.  3  chopped onions . Let that cook for an hour or so. Add 3 cans crushed tomatoes.  Then 1 pound sliced mushrooms. 4 large cans of beans. Ilike to mix them up red black pink and white yesterday. Let simmer for a couple hours then add grated chedder cheese.  It was a big hit. Although I like mine a little hotter.  Dan

Dan:

I've added your recipe to my file.  The ingredients would indicate that it may be a "life-changing" experience!

[CaptBW]

Snow!
I am finally getting to use my new XC skis.  The skiing has been beautiful.  And after skiing yesterday my wife prepared some very spicey King Ranch Casserole.  A fine conclusion to a fine day.

King Ranch casserole, now that is a meal.
Bear meat, food for the gods.
