We haven't been to Skyline or Gold Star for years. Like you it's not my favorite. We make it more at home than anything and I think it tasted better than either one of them. We got a recipe for it from America's Test Kitchen.

My personal chili recipe. I've been experimenting with recipes since my college days. I've tried a lot of the championship recipes as well as the famous chef/restaurant recipes as well. This one I created years ago but it's held up well. A lot of ingredients and effort but half the fun is in the preparation. If you want beans add them in the last half hour, preferably kidney beans. BTW, Hod was my nickname at UK.
Hod's Meaner Than A Wildcat Chili
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped or minced
2 onions, coarsely chopped
2 jalapeños, finely chopped
1 green bell pepper, finely chopped
1 celery stalk, coarsely chopped
4 pounds beef chuck cut into 1/4 to 1/2 inch cubes or coarse chili grind
24 ounces tomato sauce
4 ounces tomato paste
4 tablespoons ground New Mexico hot chile
4 tablespoons ground New Mexico mild chile
1 tablespoon cumin
1 tablespoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons paprika
2 teaspoons ground oregano (preferably Mexican)
2 teaspoons ground basil
1 teaspoon hot sauce (Tabasco)
1 teaspoon ground coriander
4 bay leaves
4 cups chicken broth
8 ounces diced green chiles
8 ounces beer
Pinch of ground cayenne pepper
Fresh ground pepper to taste
1 1/3 teaspoons sweetener (white or brown sugar, honey, Dutch cocoa, unsweetened chocolate or cinnamon)
Dash of red wine vinegar or lime juice
Garnishes: chopped fresh cilantro, oyster crackers, shredded Monterey Jack cheese
Heat oil over medium heat in a heavy Dutch oven. Add garlic, onion, jalapeño, bell pepper and celery. Cook until onions are translucent. Add beef and brown on all sides evenly. Stir in all remaining ingredients except for the sweetener and red wine vinegar or lime juice. Bring to a boil. Lower heat and simmer, uncovered, for at least 3 hours adding water (preferably purified) as needed.
In the final hour of cooking add the sweetener of choice (sugar and honey will be sweeter than chocolate and cinnamon). Add dash of red wine vinegar or lime juice in the last 30 minutes of cooking. Serve with chopped fresh cilantro, oyster crackers and shredded Monterey Jack cheese.

Very probably too but many of those teeny-boppers only make dough for a short time. Many (More than a few) end up committing suicide. Think peer pressure on Joe Biden type steroids' ... (Sorry all but it fit.)
Hallelujah Brother Sir, that is praise worthy. God Bless you!
Pinto beans for me.
Due for a pot Sir, due for a pot!
I believe this requires a Pat Paulsen quote. Okay, listen up D League. Pat Paulsen said, "All the problems we face today can be traced back to an unenlightened immigration policy on the part of the American Indian." Pat was a true visionary.
Pat Paulsen for President 2016? Pat died in 1997. I loved watching him on Laugh-In, the Tonight Show, and several others. He was so dead panned that almost anything he said was funny, and a lot of his humor was a twisting of phrases. Like, "I've upped my standards, now up yours."
Good morning from ATX. Current temperature is 65°F and clear. We expect a high of 90°F. We'll gladly take it.
Another hurricane out in the Gulf. Let's see which way the storm turns.
Happy Hump Day.
Wishing all our fellow D-League members continued happiness and good health.

Bonjour Legionaires: Hope all are doing well. The Pat Paulsen video brings back memories. My mother used to watch him back in the day.
No fishing yesterday, my wife hijacked my plans. Needed me to take her to work and then pick her back up early to go to doctors office and then "gasp" shopping. Will take to the water today instead. Stay tuned.
AWWWeeeee SHOOT THIS THANG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A memory of a Christian entertainer who brought joy and still brings it to those who listen. Take a couple minutes and walk down memory lane and enjoy.
Oh, good Morning and may God protect and bless you this day!

Good Wednesday morning
We are expecting a pleasant day with a current temperature of 73° and a slight chance of rain, 15%. Our high should reach 85°.
Delta has landed in Mexico but may get back out in the Gulf. So we continue to keep an eye on it. We are in the Waning Gibbou Moon Phase. Trust all have a nice day. If you are feeling under the weather our prayers are with you.

We love Jerry Clowers. He was genuine and certified. I could listen to him all day and relate to most of what he was saying.
Time again for the Red River Showdown up in Dallas this coming Saturday. These signs are common along Interstate 35. Heh.
Saw/met Jerry a few times. His cousin was mayor of the Georgia town I lived in. Anytime he would get close he would stop by to see his cuz.

Blue moon at the end of the month.
Morning D, not much shaking here
beautiful morning here in south Jefferson county
Bought a new fire pit for the back yard. Solo stove bonfire. will be here tomorrow
went to Gatlinburg last weekend. It was like walking into a new world. Older people wearing mask (understandable) some obvious Karen's also wearing mask.
Stores / restaurants had the must wear signs up but not enforced.
Did not see nary a one of BLM, Breonna, other bullshit masks, shirts.
All people seemed to be there for the fresh air and getaway from all this bullshat
That's what you get when the Governor and Mayor of Sevier county are republicans
BTW, the Governor announced full opening of Tennessee the day we left...Good for him!
Carry on fellers...

I'll bet the Pancake Pantry was packed as usual.
It is a beautiful day here in Graves County Ky. Think I will go out and wash the wife's truck. Mine needs it but her's is over due. Hopefully Saturday will bring a win for the Cats!
Mojo pork and ham on pressed Cuban bread (fresh from Ybor City) served with black beans and rice. Very satisfying
But in my book the worcestershire sauce would only make it better. I love worcestershire sauce.
We see several of them on our little island behind the house. Saw one catch a squirrel and pin it to the ground then fly away with the poor soul dangling in the hawk's claws. The hawk family had a nice squirrel dinner that evening. The red shouldered hawk is the most common hawk around here. Hardly a day goes by that I do not see one. We back up to a wildlife preserve so we have plenty of vultures around us.
Thanks, this is going to made, possibly this weekend at my house.
May I squeeze in one more recipe from about 100 years ago. My aunt was from Mingo County, WVA and as a young girl she worked at Brunswick Restaurant in Williamson, WVA. The hot dogs in that area are the best I have had in my life and I have been about everywhere a hog dog is served.
Brunswick was destroyed by a flood of the Big Sandy River in the 1970's but my aunt had the recipe and gave it to me before she died. She kept it a secret from the family but her husband, my uncle Charles asked her to give it to me and she did. For the D-League only, here it is:
Ingredients:
3 lbs ground beef
6 tablespoons of chili powder
One tablespoon of paprika
One half teaspoon of garlic powder
Sixteen ounces of tomato sauce
One half teaspoon of cayenne pepper
¾ table spoon of celery salt
12 whole All spice
Two quarts of water
TO COOK:
Bring water to a boil. Add meat. (Do not fry the meat at any time)
Add remainder of ingredients and cook slowly on simmer for several hours.
DO NOT SALT
MAKING A HOT DOG
Place hot dogs in boiling water and immediately remove from heat and let sit until ready to serve
STEAM THE BUNS (This is very important and for some reason brings out the flavor)
Serve with yellow mustard and chopped onions if desired.
NOW I HAVE MADE MYSELF HUNGRY AND IT IS DINNER TIME. TIME TO EAT

Top of Sawnee Mountain looking towards Don's place. Sent to me from a friend in Cumming this morning. He is walking the hills.
Wow been receiving calls from everywhere. If you call and are not answered please leave me a message and I 'll get back with you!
Time to have a well played game in all phases. Let's go BLue

Been there! Remember first time I ever went to Cumming. Before 400...take the old road up from Alpharetta (Rt 9?). Think at that time you would turn left to go into the town of Cumming and Sawnee would be right out in front of you. Believe the old gas station where Junior use to hang out was on the right.Top of Sawnee Mountain looking towards Don's place. Sent to me from a friend in Cumming this morning. He is walking the hills.
My son lived right off Rt 20 just below the mountain for about 4 years.
I lived on Lake Lanier the Bald Ridge Marina section. It is growing out of control now. Once was a little town with a whole bunch of Junior Samples. My signature "running shine down Highway 9" was taken from that road. It was the moonshine route for shine runners leaving Forsyth and Dawson County headed to Atlanta to drop their load.

This big boy was spotted very close to where I live, just a few places down from me. Florida Panthers are not seen in the wild that often so this is startling. I have run into them twice in my life. Once when I was 14 years old, an interesting story I will not bore you with today. The Florida Panther has a very distinct sound in the wild. Not a roar but more like a blood curling scream.
As I have said our lake backs up to the Weeki Wachee Wildlife Preserve and there is no telling what comes out at night from that place. Last night there were 6 deer drinking at the edge of the lake behind my house. I am thinking seriously about getting security cameras and placing them around the house. Just to see what comes out at night.

Yeah, everyone that can sell Medicare supplemental insurance is placing robocalls, like crazy. We got one, from California last night at 2:30 am.
Funny you guys mentioning this. I was thinking this morning to do a post to see if anybody else was spending a good chunk of their day deleting and blocking calls. Think I've gotten 8 or 9 today. Don't answer either the cell or the house phone unless it comes up as someone we know. If it's really somebody we know, and the number's not in the system, who wants to talk...they can leave a voicemail.
The big problem is that they will continue the bombardment until the open enrollment period is over.
I saw where the NBA announced that next year, they will not have Black Lives Matter on the floors or on the players jerseys. I would say they have had some backlash over it.
Hmmm. You suspiciously seem to know a lot about running shine down Highway 9.
