Chili, like spaghetti is always better the next day, so we made it yesterday, and will finish it at the fire pit by the final step, adding the cocoa and the Masa corn meal.
We used 8 pounds of chuck roast, 2 pounds of beef brisket, and 2 pounds of lamb
We varied the proportions of meats and peppers and came up with 2 batches of chili that are very flavorful and obviously different. Here is what we started with.
First we cook a whole pack of bacon, and leave the grease to cook the meats and the onions and garlic
The lamb is barbequed to give it more flavor
Here are the dried vegetables being reconstituted in chicken broth and water, prior to being blended into a fine paste
Here is the final batch of pepper blend being reconstituted, Habenero,
Serrano, Jalapeno as the main ingredients, and a few pickled
pepperoncini for more complexity.
This batch is kept separate from the chilis to allow people to spice it up to their preferred level.

The Habanero/Serrano final blend spilt out a little and was immediately labeled an EPA superfund cleanup site.
Really? We used a nice Blue Moon Red Ale also
Don’t forget the fresh brewed Arabica coffee
Now the secret is out
Dry spices being mixed together
Love those dutch ovens, they can go right in the fire or right in the oven, this is the Chuck and Lamb chili, slow cooking at 190 for 7 hours or moreHandle with CARE!
And the beef brisket needs more time so we use a slow cooker
Its not even done yet, but has been proclaimed "Best Chili Ever"
This is authentic Texas Style Chili. No tomatos, No beans.
Now we fire up the outside Fire Pit and finish it off over a tripod hanging the Dutch Ovens. We add Masa (special corn meal to thicken it up) and Mexican Chocolate, and bake for another half hour.
If interested – dig each name and look under IAEA & Vienna if anybody interested
Kind of goes back to my ruminations on Georg Steinhauser, but I'm just going by a gut feeling..

FDA tested salmon only once in the past 4 years – and that was after waiting 3 years, while a highschool science project beat them to it, and when they finally did they only tested 19 samples.

I got confused for a moment because there are apparently 2 different organizations under the name NIRS -
NIRS (Nuclear Information and Resource Service) – these are the good guys who are saying evacuation zone should be expanded.
Keiko & Shigeo are part of the National Institute of Radiological Sciences ( the other NIRS).
I don't know much about them.

Apparently NIRS has a cooperative research agreement with Colorado State University & University of Colorado..the presidents from both universities are in this photo, visiting IN PERSON.
