I brewed me up a pot of chili yesterday. Now why does it taste terrible? It's hard to screw up a pot of chili, but the old Billy Bob did a number on this one. Only two things can go wrong. The choice of meat and the water. I were shop'n at HEB the other day. Bought me some course ground chili meat. That makes the best chili ya know. In this case, it didn't. As it was cook'n, I notice that meat was turn'n ugly an' the pot was fill'n up with grease (2/3 cup of grease removed for 2# of ground beef). Then I got to think'n....pink slime. Could HEB still be using pink slime in their ground beef? Won't be buy'n no more meat at HEB that for sure.
Then there's the water. For the last few days, my fresh water has this awful taste to it. I don't see any way it can be contaminated, but when it mess up a pot of coffee, something ain't right. So here what I gonna do. Drain that stuff out on the ground an' go get me some more....only for the sake of a "good" cup of coffee ya know. Now what to do with the "terrible"chili? Do burros eat chili???
Speak'n of burros, these critters are John Deere lawn mow'n machines. They been at "El Rancho Abraham" for a little over 6 months and have cleared 4 acres of land. Burros are really cool animals, but that one lay'n down.....he mean as all git out. Kick'n an' bite'n the others. Run around the yard like a Comanche on the war path. In that cage is that damn goat. No parole for that feller.
Ok, if'n I'm gonna get them seat covers installed today, I got to get with it. Times a wast'n.
Wow! What a great picture for your header!
ReplyDeleteI guess the goat got caught red-handed this time, huh? Last time I think you had your doubts about his guilt. I suppose the burros eliminate the need for a mechanical mower---wonder if you have to watch where you step, though? Fun post today. Thanks..
BB I make good chili,using a chuck roast just enough fat in chuck .I freeze the roast just enough to firm it up so I can slice and dice it in about 3/8 cubes.Using Wick Fowler's two alarm Chile fixings .I add a little more onion an garlic.It's called Cube Chile.I leave out the red pepper
ReplyDeleteI think jails the best place for those old goats,,,lololol.
ReplyDeleteBTW, love that header pic!
oops that ol goat...
DeleteGreat Header Picture. I see that you have a Texas Curl in the brim of your hat. I've heard tell that Texans do that curl so that three of them can sit together in the front of a pick up. But that's just hear tell, don't ya know.
ReplyDeleteLike your new header picture and your hat! Those little burritos are precious, where did he get them?
ReplyDeleteThe mean burro should be put in jail along with the dumb goat. Did your nephew have to buy the neighbor some chicken feed?
