Hi Dave,
>> CONTINUED FROM PREVIOUS MESSAGE <<
RH> anything other than the local fireman's carnival--except for one time
RH> we spent a couple of hours at an amuesment park in St. Catherine's,
RH> Ontario. After getting married, we went to Busch Gardens once with
RH> Steve's folks and several Dippemesses in Frankfurt, W. Germany. Latter
RH> is a big carnival set up and also local potters (& other crafts folks)
RH> have seasonal sales.
DD> The last county fair I went to was my local deal in New Berlin. Their
DD> was a chilli cook-off in which I placed second and won the salsa (pico
DD> de gallo, really) competition. The hung around to see the free
DD> grandstand show that evening. Three Dog Night was playing - with all
DD> but one of its orifinal musicians ... and the one not there was
DD> pushing up daisies instead of
DD> touring - mostly because he got his lunch in a traffic mishap.
Must have been fun to see the show. I would enjoy a Peter, Paul and Mary
concert but it's down to a duo now. Saw an interview with Paul on PBS 5
years ago when I was recouperating from the knee surgery--quite
interesting. He was to have a concert in Durham that night but there was
no way we could have gone.
DD> 1 lb Ground beef
DD> 1 oz Pkg Chilli Man Chilli Mix *
DD> 8 oz Can Hunts tomato sauce
DD> ds Tabasco sauce
DD> Brown ground beef in heavy skillet. Stir in contents of
DD> chilli mix and add tomato sauce. Simmer for 1 hour and add
DD> Tabasco.
DD> * Joe DeFrates originally developed the Chilli Man Mix
DD> (the Illinois spelling of Chilli) and sold it, packaged,
DD> under that name from the 1950s until he sold the recipe to
DD> the Milnot Co. of Litchfield, IL, in the 1970s. It is
DD> available today in most midwestern states under the
DD> original name. The actual ingredients of the chilli mix are
DD> not available.
I've not seen it but we've not usually done any grocery shopping in the
midwest. We're usually well stocked, either just on our way out west or
within a couple of days of getting home and eating down the pantry &
fridge.
DD> A FURTHER NOTE: You can believe that this is the actual
DD> recipe if you like. But, no chilli cook *ever* gives out
DD> the exact recipe that he used. And the original chilli
DD> spice mix that Joe probably did use is no longer
DD> available - so, use Gebhardt or Mexene or whatever your
DD> favourite is. - UDD
I usually don't use a mix--do my own mix of whatever peppers I have on
hand plus onions, meat and tomato whatevers.

I miss reading his columns; I always enjoyed him. Steve's favorite (now
departed) columnist was Erma Bombeck.
