I usually order something other than chili, especially if I don't know much about the chili. I've had some (at cook offs) that have been
really nasty.
Having tried bowls of "chilli" all over te US I know better than to
order a bowl of red anywhere near the Northeastern US. It's most
likely gonna be a bland hamburger/tomato soup.
When we were stationed at Fort Devens, MA, we joined a small church in Ayer, just outside the post. We were only there for 6 months, before moving on to AZ but they had a chili cook off in that time frame. One
of the chilis tasted like a burning cigarette had been mixed into it;
both of us tasted it and had the same opinion. That was probably the
worst chili we've ever had.
Not so many places around here. We tried a new in town sushi place yesterday in a building that can't seem to keep a restaurant more than
6 months. I think this is the 3rd or 4th different iteration since we
top notch. Found another sushi place here in town last summer; it was
ok but not of the quality we've gotten at ToJ. Still, we'd go back to
that place over the new one, given a choice.
So, you gonna go back?
Probably to the place we went to last spring, but not to the one we
tried on Sunday.
There are a couple places in town where one can still get a bowl
of "good old, greasy, Springfield tavern chilli. Both do very well
selling that stuff.
Typical greasy spoons? (G)
Actually not. One is the Dublin Pub, a mid-level sit-down restaurant
using the old Vic's Pizza recipe. The other is a tavern (Brickhouse)
and sports bar on the city's west side.

around. But, since we don't have as much snow removal equipment in this part of the state as the western part does, the secondary and back
roads stay snow covered longer. Therefore, the kids get more snow days, government shuts down and the whole state comes down to a slow crawl.
Sounds like a comment I first made when driving a semi through
Arkansas during a winter event. Talking on the CB raDIO (remember
those?) I told a guy who was crying about how slick it was "In
Arkansas they think salt is something youm put on your French Fries
not your roads." Bv)=
This area brines the roads first, then when the stuff (in whatever
form) starts coming down, they go out with sand and salt. Car washes do
a booming business after the storms pass.
As they do in this area. I keep a monthly subscription at one between
home and work. Hit it often for thew undercar wash to get ride of any
salt build-up. Not to mentions the salty coating on the bodywork.
We can't use a lot of the commercial washes because of the high cap on
the back of the truck. So, it's usually a DIY project, awaiting a nice
day without rain in the foreseeable forecast.
4 c Dried pinto beans
1 Ham hock
15 oz Can tomato sauce
1/4 c Chilli spice mix
1/4 c Brown sugar
2 tb (to 3 tb) white vinegar
5 cl Garlic; minced
1 lg Onion; peeled, diced small
Recipe courtesy of Ree Drummond
Looks more like bean soup--and brown sugar????????????
Sure. Why not. I'd add cumin and less chilli spice. But, it's an
OK (really) recipe for beans to add to chilli.
If I'm not using my chilli beans I'll do Bush's or Brooks Hot
Chili Beans.
I usually use kidney beans; I know, not your favorite bean, but it's
what we both grew up with in our mom's chili.

No, and have forgotten about it except as a reminder of how bad chili
can be. Some years ago, a family in our church won the chili cook off
with a sausage and pineapple abomination--don't know what the judges
were thinking on that one! I did place in it, but heard a number of comments about the unusual "chili".

There had to have been somewhat of a ketchup taste, using that much of

Yes, the bank one is usually high enough but it reminds us that not all places that have a cover are that high. We usually prefer to go in and

Something I would definatly try. We had lunch with some of Steve's
fellow hams today at a Thai restaurant. I had cashew chicken--would
have been better with a lighter sauce and not cooking the chicken quite
so long. Chicken pieces were quite dry and the brown sauce overpowered other tastes.
There had to have been somewhat of a ketchup taste, using that much of
it. Plus, that much ketchup would have added extra sweetness, something else that doesn't really belong in chili, IMO.
A lot of chilli cooks put sugar in their chilli. White or brown. Or
some will do molasses - which results in a barbeque sauce undertone.

Sugar in the pasta sauce seems to depend on which region of Italy the recipe came from. I've told the story here before of hitting sugar in
a "daily special" at an Italian joint owned by a chilli cook of
Italian ancestry. And his explanation. Neveer ordered red sauced pasta there
again. Mostly stuck with my usual chilli-mac. Mardango was, after all,

I remember reading your account of it. My MIL's ancestry is from
Calabria, the toe of the boot--down near Sicily. She has put a carrot
in her sauce as she claims that it absorbs some of the acid from the tomato in the sauce. I've not really noticed a difference in hers with
the carrot and mine without. I think I'm a bit heavier with the spices (except salt) than she is.

two (depending on how much tuna I'm using) into the tuna and mayo. My
MIL was skeptical of that when she saw me do it; now it's the way she likes her tuna. As a Tupperware dealer, she passed on the suggestion at some of the demos she did, giving me credit. (G)
a "daily special" at an Italian joint owned by a chilli cook of
Italian ancestry. And his explanation. Neveer ordered red sauced pasta there again. Mostly stuck with my usual chilli-mac. Mardango was,
after all, six time Illinois State chill champion.
I remember reading your account of it. My MIL's ancestry is from
Calabria, the toe of the boot--down near Sicily. She has put a carrot
in her sauce as she claims that it absorbs some of the acid from the tomato in the sauce. I've not really noticed a difference in hers with
the carrot and mine without. I think I'm a bit heavier with the spices (except salt) than she is.
There seem to be as many regional variants in Italy as there are in
the Unried States. My friend Joe (Guiseppe) Gallina and his brothers
wound
up here in Spring-A-Leak running restaurants. Joe's is in the middle
of downtown. Mike's (Emilio) place is in nearby Riverton where 70% or
so of the population is of Italian descent. And Marco had a very successful
restaurant in a shopping center. Then it disappeared. I aked Joe about "What happened?" and was told the Marco got homesick and returned to
the island of Sicily where he's "cleaning up" selling American-style pizza. Go figure. Bv)=

My house mate spotted the cans of tuna I got at Hy-Vee and began a
long reminiscence about his Aunt Joan's tuna salad and how it was the
best he had ever had. He won't be expecting this:

Hmmmmmmm ..... never tried an apple in tuna salad. I'll have to keep
that in mind. I know applem works great in chicken salad.
This is basically what I made. I've never been a fan of sweet pickles
in my tuna salad - so I stock Heifitz or Vlasic or Mt. Olive dill
relish.
I use Duke's mayo as it is less sweet than Kraft or Hellman's. The "As Seen On TV" Vidalia Onion Chopper with the small (1/8") plate in place worked very nicely/quickly to make uniform chinks of the veggies.

Sounds like they all did well. Back in the early 70s, my younger (just below me in family order) did a school trip to Italy. She said in one place the kids ordered pizza and were quite disappointed when it came
out. They were all expecting the American style; what they got was the Italian style.

I use a small amount of sweet pickle relish if Steve isn't eating it,
none if he is. The past few years we've been using an olive oil based
mayo we've found at Costco, don't recall the name. I prefer Duke's but Steve doesn't like it as much.

My mom never bought (nor dad never grew) parsnips. I didn't start
buying them until a few years ago, bought them as a needed
ingredient. Found out we like them in stews and such like so I've
bought them more often.
They go well with carrots as a side dish.
Very much so! I had a bit of chicken in the fridge so made chicken
and gravy over biscuits for lunch. There are still a few biscuits
some ham so it'll either be breakfast or supper tomorrow.

Cook Out for lunch yesterday; I had half of a chicken, lettuce and
tomato with mayo (skipped the honey mustard) sandwich, a small (maybe
1/3 cup) of cole slaw and 4 onion rings. The shake was more like
softened ice cream in a foam cup; I could only get a few sips of it. Finished maybe about 1/4 of it in an hour so stuck the cup in the

to finish it, with the other sandwich half, a small piece (about 4"x

That would scare me. No idea why? I would have asked what/why.

E.R. told me I'd be in hospital overnight for observation. Which
stretched to a week.
Must have had a lot to look at. (G) Hopefully nothing major planned for the week so that the time in the hospital didn't conflict with much.

Corned beef, now. With a good slather of zippy horseradish and some
boiled potatoes coateed w/melted butter. Yuuuuuuummmmm.
Actually, I prefer a spicy brown mustard with corned beef.
That or a nice zippy Dijon mustard are my second choice, Bv)=
There were 2 in the pack, cooked them on Monday and been eating off of them all week. Started the second one yesterday, decided we're never
going to buy corned beef from Lidl again. Both of them have been tough, even with gentle simmering.

It is something different; don't know if I could eat a whole one in one sitting.
Have faith. The recipe makes 4 servings - and a single serve is 4"
across. The equivalent of a half-sized BLT sandwich (or thereabouts)
Still, my appetite has greatly diminished over the years. We went to
My appetite has lessened as I age. Last night I was going to hit up
the Star 66 cafe at the local truck-stop for the AYCE "walleye" and a
bowl
of their really nice brocolli-cheese soup. But, inertia took over and
I nuked up a Healty Choice frozen entree (9 3/4 oz) and a Coke Zero.
Sounds like the way I get sometimes, especially if we've been out most
of the day. Even a couple of hours in the afternoon can really tire me out--lingering effects of the radiation?
I'd go for a home made whole grain waffle and sliced "real" bacon. A friend of Steve's was, last night, telling us of a fruit waffle he had
in Europe--waffle batter cooke a bit, then fruit put on it and then
more batter. The waffle enclosed the fruit when cooked. Sounds good,
maybe with strawberries, blueberries or peaches.
Dat sounds good as well.
Indeed!

I quickly went from "observation" to inmate status. They shot a wad of antibiotics into me in the ER and that helped with the breathing. Then
the pulmonologists scheduled my for a CAT scan, found a "spot" on my
right lung (damned cigarettes) and set me up for a bronchoscopy. They
were making noises after the procedure about biopsy, etc. Turned out
to not need biopsy so no cancer (phew). But I gat a script for a new
puff
dragon (inhaler) in addition to the two I already have. And they
dropped my diabetes meds from my daily list.

but
a 3# of thick cut (10 slices/lb) and a 3# regular (20 slices/lb) and
cook the thick cut in the nuker ASAP. Store the meat in my nice Tupper storage box that seems to have been designed with my personal needs in mind. It's crispy-cooked so it's easy to make crumbles (or larger
pieces) as needed. The thin/regular goes in the drawer in the ice box
to use as needed. And the dripping for all of that goes into a crock
to use for
frying eggs or haash browns, etc. Or where a recipe calls for bacon grease.

Sounds like he had good reason for you to hike yourself over to the hospital. Back in 2001 when I broke my elbow on a Saturday afternoon,
the plan was to put it back together Sunday morning. My O2 level was in the mid 80s so the pulmonolgy doctor vetoed it, pumped me full of O2
and albuterol over the next 24 hours and surgery was done on Monday morning. They kept me on O2 and albuterol round the clock (got woken up
at 2 am for breathing treatments) for several more days until they were happy with the numbers.

Good to hear that the diabetes meds were dropped, not so good to hear about needing another inhaler. I was switched from Advair (generic)
daily and albuterol as needed to Trelegy last fall, still albuterol as needed and use a nebuliser at least once a day. It took a while but I'm doing better than I was last year, even tho I've had a couple of minor bronchitis flare ups.

We found that steaming it to reheat it does make it more tender. Took a while to discover it but that will be our "go to" for the rest of the brisket. The briskets we bought from Sam's Club (one for corned beef & cabbage, 2 for pastrami) were quite tender.

Gordon's has two locations in North Carolina. Concord and Kannapolis. Probably neither is convenient to you. My Gordon's is just across

No jitters from the albuterol. But it does help me breate easier. And
the new inhaler guy is already makiong a noticable difference. I do
the Advair morning and evening (with my meds) and the Atrovent
mid-day. I also rinse my mouth after the Atrovent - not because the directions say to do as with some inhalers - but, because of the
nasty, bitter aftertaste.

Follow up to the follow up? After I had an overnight in the hospital
about 10 years ago, I had a follow up with my fairly new (I'd had him
as my primary care doctor about a year.) doctor. Steve went in with me
as he had some questions, ended up changing to him as his other than VA primary care. Great guy, he took the time to talk with you and draw pictures of what was going on. Fall of 2022 he resigned the practice
and is now a campus doctor/instructor at UNC-CH. Hated to see him go
but hopefully others have benefitted from his care.

Different locations, cross town. I was able to move mine to the same
day, just a couple of hours later. We've been trying to schedule appointments around our planned travel time so it was inevitable we'd
end up with a conflict eventually. Easily resolved tho.
Depends on what poochy-pup had been eating for the most part.
For the most part his diet was Purina One, dry dog food. He liked
popcorn and a lot of "people foods" but didn't get much of those. One thing he didn't like was green peas but he did go for most everything else. He had those big brown eyes that would look so appealing--"feed
me, please" that Steve and the girls often snuck him bits of table
food.
