Hi Pods, A friend just gave me a D.L. Jardine's Texas Chili "Bag O'Fixins Kit". I've never made Texas style chili, and wouldn't mind a try. The question, Is it possibly worthwhile using this bag of er, stuff? Or should I find a good recipe and do it from scratch? I'm tempted to just do the latter, but if this stuff is good I'd consider it, for friendship's sake! tia. Hope all you OF'ers have a great time. Keep Jim outta trouble now, ya here?
