Here is more information in case you want to put together a more definitive post for your larger readership:<BR/><BR/>History of Chili <A HREF="http://whatscookingamerica.net/History/Chili/ChiliIndex.htm" REL="nofollow">site</A><BR/>DEFINITION - Chili is a stew-like soup made entirely with meat, chiles, or chili powder (or both) and according to what region of the United States that you live in, it can also include beans. "Con carne" means "with meat." <BR/><BR/>The site is a fairly exhaustive source for the stories/history of chili as dish, chili powder, great quotes, etc. "The aroma of good chili should generate rapture akin to a lover's kiss."<BR/>Motto of the Chili Appreciation Society International<BR/> <BR/>Tolbert's Original <A HREF="http://whatscookingamerica.net/Soup/TolbertChili.htm" REL="nofollow">Bowl of Red</A><BR/><BR/>This recipe comes out of a cookbook that was published the year I was born (a long long time ago) authored by Frank Tolbert who owned a chain of chili parlors in Texas and started the Terlingua, Texas chili cook off <A HREF="http://www.abowlofred.com/" REL="nofollow">competition</A>.<BR/><BR/><BR/>I <A>blogged</A> a bit about chili origins and Texans way back when.<BR/><BR/>Hope that helps!/TDTexasDebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11214888876514137890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3859291696897577217.post-44656292173684930432009-01-18T05:50:00.000-06:002009-01-18T05:50:00.000-06:00Totally agree with you Texas Deb, January is soup ...Totally agree with you Texas Deb, January is soup month! I'd love to hear your thoughts on chili - up here in new england we throw all sorts of stuff into it, but from what I've read a real bowl of texas chili is meat only and everything else is blasphemy - is that true??Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3859291696897577217.post-50375660691071822722009-01-17T15:15:00.000-06:002009-01-17T15:15:00.000-06:00Actually lots of folks insist you should always fr...Actually lots of folks insist you should always freeze stock rather than keeping it in the refrigerator more than 2-3 days. <BR/><BR/>As far as I can tell, stock ought to keep for months in the freezer. <BR/><BR/>A good idea is to measure it out into 2 or 4 cup amounts and then freeze it in heavy plastic resealable bags or those less expensive reusable plastic containers. That way you know how much you're dealing with when it is time to defrost for a recipe. Just don't defrost the broth in the plastic in the microwave - you don't want poisony plasticky stuff leaching out into your delicious stock. <BR/><BR/>Yay for you for making soup! I'll look forward to reading about how wonderful it tastes.TexasDebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11214888876514137890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3859291696897577217.post-7762482620662487602009-01-17T15:08:00.000-06:002009-01-17T15:08:00.000-06:00any idea how long chicken stock lasts when frozen?...any idea how long chicken stock lasts when frozen?
