As for chili, in my house, DH and I both grew up in the same hometown here. He makes his with chili powder (ughhhhh ... disgusting!) and I don't. I prefer mine thicker and he likes his thinner. We both eat it with peanut butter bread (like they gave us in school cafeteria -- no butter, just two pieces of bread with peanut butter between. Our kids think we're nuts!). BUT, no matter who makes it next time, it will all be gone no matter what!

There is something called a coney dog, hot dog with this slop chilli on top. It is the most disgusting thing in the world. Sarah Jessica Parker is from Cincinnati and she says the first things she does when she visits is she goes to skyline chili. These people are crazy. They eat this stuff like there is no tomorrow they even sell it in cans. I truely believe that it was invented using cinnamon and cocoa to cover up the taste of the road kill that they must have used to make it way back when in the days of old and food was hard to come by. when you pass the place (can't call it a restaurant) the smell gets in your nose and lingers for hours. I don't know how people eat it I guess it is an aquired taste.

I'm gonna put Lurkingdom on my list of "must see" places :D
