There's nothing like cold weather to pave the way for making one of the greatest culinary masterpieces known to man: Texas chili. Nothing else made is truly chili, especially if it hails from anywhere north of the Red River, particulary the city in Ohio named for a legendary Roman.
My chili is nicknamed Dalton's Intestinal Destroyer Chili. That name is given as a badge of honor and respect. Any chili that doesn't clear out your bowels is not truly chili.
Chili should not be watery. It should have plenty of beef, chunks of tomato, bell peppers, and onions. It should have finely chopped jalapeno peppers. Beans are optional, as is rice (yes, Louisiana is close by).
So tonight's dinner was scrumptious; tomorrow will be painful...

Was it Mark Twain who said, "Chili should not be watery. But the results it produces very well might be." ???
If not, it should have been.
Actually, I think it was Will Rogers.
Or it should have been ;-)
