Hi Dave,
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 touring - mostly because he got his
DD> lunch in a traffic mishap.
RH> Must have been fun to see the show. I would enjoy a Peter, Paul and
RH> Mary concert but it's down to a duo now. Saw an interview with Paul on
RH> PBS 5 years ago when I was recouperating from the knee surgery--quite
RH> interesting. He was to have a concert in Durham that night but there
RH> was no way we could have gone.
DD> I was there with my boss - who kept complaining "That's not the way it
DD> sounded on the record." And I had to keep reminding him that "This is
DD> LIVE. No post-production enhancements or edits." Bv)= Still, I
DD> enjoyed the show. And the price was right - free.
Some people are happiest when they have something to complain about, no
matter how petty.
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.
RH> I've not seen it but we've not usually done any grocery shopping in the
RH> midwest. We're usually well stocked, either just on our way out west or
RH> within a couple of days of getting home and eating down the pantry &
RH> fridge.
DD> Chilli Man used to be sold out east. When I was trucking I hauled more
DD> than one semi-load to grocer warehouses including Winn-Dixie and
DD> Malone & Hyde.
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
RH> I usually don't use a mix--do my own mix of whatever peppers I have on
RH> hand plus onions, meat and tomato whatevers.
DD> I use Baron's 5640 mix whichj I buy from a local restaurant supply. I
DD> tart it up with additional cumin, garlic, chilies, etc. But it's a
DD> nice starting spot.
I rarely buy mixes for anything like that. Usually do my own home made
for a lot of things, just tastes better to us in the long run.
