Back in the 1980s, it was a time before the World Wide Web existed and before it became a trusted marketplace. If you wanted exotic ingredients that were not native to your area, you had to know where there was a store that sold the gourmet item you needed. Either that, or write a letter… Continue reading Chile Colorado, or Red Chile Sauce (Frieda’s, Inc.)

Dalek Chili – “You will be exterminated!”
It’s a very plain, simple chili and my own recipe. It’s named after the characters from the Doctor Who TV series – emotionless, mutated monsters who inhabit near-invincible killing machines. What they say to members of lesser races (which by definition is any and every other race) is always the same: “You will be exterminated!”… Continue reading Dalek Chili – “You will be exterminated!”

Cincinnati 5-Way Chili
I never lived in Cincinnati. I knew nothing about this dish until I moved to Oklahoma. It’s also not native to Oklahoma, but that is the place where I discovered a fast-food restaurant that specialized in 5-way chili. I loved that chili mountain on a plate, from the base camp of spaghetti, through the levels… Continue reading Cincinnati 5-Way Chili

Cowpoke Chili (Marlboro Chili Book)
This is that somewhat more authentic cowboy chili from the Marlboro Chili Book. Smoked bacon, dried beans, onions, garlic, and dried chili peppers are central to it.
