I thought we were the only family that ate chili and rice. Shanghai got us hooked. We mainly use Venison chili meat and Wick Fowlers. I know thats cheating but its quick.

Topper, hey were in Texas! It's OK for us to talk Chili. It's our state dish... right?

LHP, Wick's and Carroll's are both ways to make some good and easy chili. And... please share whatever you remember about Jimmy and the only dish Dallas can call it's own... Chili Rice.

The best gumbo in Dallas (not homemade) is at S&D.

The best gumbo in Dallas is in my kitchen.

See, I knew somebody was going to mention your gumbo. Hence my caveat. I would not have bet it would be you though. I make a nice pot of gumbo myself, but not often enough to have perfected anything. Burning a roux is bad news.

XTC gumbo is xtc.

Deer smashes through doors, 3 vehicles in Ark.


WHITE HALL, Ark. (AP) -- A deer somehow survived being hit by a car near Little Rock, but that was only the first part of what soon became a very rough day. On Tuesday morning in White Hall, the vehicle struck the animal on U.S. Highway 270.

Assistant Police Chief Richard Wingard said the injured large doe then charged into the glass doors of a travel plaza, ran about 100 feet through a hallway and crashed through a second set of glass doors, finding itself outside again.

The deer then ran into traffic on Interstate 530, where it was hit by a southbound vehicle. Somehow, the deer managed to run across the median and was hit by a northbound truck.

That proved to be enough for the deer, in Wingard's words, "to meet its maker."

No one was injured

sorry JT, I must have overlooked the homemade clause. my bad.

No problem, I hear that your pride in your recipe is warranted. Hope to find out for myself this year.

After all that the deer actually did survive, came to me for a mortgage loan and I turned her down. Then she died.

As far as the last line of the report, I would say the deer might disagree.

Oscar had a bit of a problem with this one.

I bet Oscar slept well after that Deer chase

Arkansans will celebrate Easter at a bar

A fledging Arkansas church will see if distilled spirits can mix with the Holy Spirit this Easter weekend.

A Little Rock church called The River will hold both of its Easter services at The Rev Room, a bar and nightclub in the city’s River Market.

Pastor Shane Montgomery told KLRT-TV that it’s an effort to attract a new audience to his nondenominational ministry.

Here is my Grassfed Chili recipe, as adapted from Frank X. Tolbert. (Note that grassfed beef has a nutritional profile similar to salmon. Don't skim off any grease! See www.eatwild.com for more info on grassfed)

2 pounds grassfed beef stew meat (from Rex's Seafood Market on Lovers)
1 pound 75% lean grassfed ground chuck (ditto on the source)
3 to 6 ancho chile pods, boiled 5 minutes, cooled, stemmed, seeded and chopped, reserved in cooking water (may substitute 3 to 6 tablespoons chili powder or ground chile)
1 teaspoon oregano
1 tablespoon crushed cumin seed
1 tablespoon salt
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon Tabasco sauce
2 to 4 minced garlic cloves, to taste
2 to 4 extra ancho chile pods, stemmed and seeded (but not chopped), for extra seasoning if desired

Sear meat in 2 or 3 batches, starting with the ground chuck.

Place meat in large pot with ancho chile pepper pods and as much pepper liquid as needed to keep meat from burning (about 2 inches of water above the meat).

Bring to boil, then simmer for 30 minutes. Add remaining ingredients except extra anchos. Simmer 45 minutes more, covered. Stir only occasionally.

Taste and adjust seasonings. If not hot enough to suit you, add extra ancho pods that have been stemmed and seeded but not chopped. Simmer another 30 minutes until meat is tender. Makes 6 to 8 servings.

PapaJoe:

Are you going to share the chili rice recipe that you have been working on? Maybe I missed it. What I cant remember is whether there was some kind of relish or salsa spooned onto that concoction somehwere. I remember celery for some reason
