Don't miss South Western Aeromodeling Conference

You guys really gotta rename that thing. Arlington, Texas is not in the Southwest! It is closer to the Atlantic than the Pacific!

You have to talk to the good ol' Doc about that. It's HIS show.

I wish TEXAS was considered part of the SOUTH rather than South-West, as I am a believer in James Ronald Kennedy's book "The South Was Right". I do prefer that association.

For the REPUBLIC (TX)!

errrrrrr, yeah, chili is supposed to be red :-) isn't it ????

Texas is West of the Mississippi and South of the Mason-Dixon Line, so I live in the Southwest.... in Arlington, Texas!!!

David

So is Missouri!

Right. Wasn't St. Louis "Gateway to the West"? Seriously, Texas is a big state. El Paso is definitely part of the Southwest. Some folks there actually eat Green Chili. Houston is much like Louisiana (South) and Dallas much like the rest of the Great Plains. But, try to tell someone from Ft. Worth that he's not Western :-)

Yea, St Louis WAS the gateway to the west...About 300 years ago!

Paul, they have an Arch there as a symbol to being the gateway to the west. Good enough for me.

Hey, Man, Back in '97 I RVed the Al-Can through Calgary, Edmonton, Whitehorse, Fairbanks, and so forth. My wife was too busy arguing with the road signs to be much help with the map. Of course after Dawson and on to Fairbanks there isn't much need for a map, just one road anyway. A week ago I went to the wake of an ex-brother-in-law, some 10 years my junior. So, my friend, don't argue with the road signs. We all are going to the same end-of-road and it is one damn short trip.

Have a nice whatever of your choice.

nope- Green is best- and you use pork and beef. It is made from chili's, not peppers, and should have large chunks of roasted chili in it, along with some cillantro and tomalitos. No powder of any kind should be used in the making...

Chili is a pepper, and there are several types. Some green chilis will turn red if allowed to ripen. The best Texas chili (IMHO) uses Jalapeno peppers and other spices in a concoction called "Texas Trail Dust".

Green chilis are best used in Green Chili Stew. And, yes it's really good stuff. Some of the best can be had at Tubac Jack's in Tubac, AZ. My wife fixes a white bean green chili which is quite good too.

Real Texas chili is made with venison and no beans.

The game warden and other folks disapprove of us shooting Mexican Black Bears and we ain't got no elk. Lotsa white tail and (in some areas) enough Axis deer to serve well.

WHAT! Nobody fixes chili using Javelina ( collared peccary to the non Southwesterners ) ???

David

Ya didn't ask that!

'Sides, who want to eat rat?

It's an awfully big rat I would NOT want chasing me! I've heard a story or two about pissed-off Javelina.

LOL Only TWO? When cornered, them are dangerous.

I was in the Phoenix area for only three years, back in the sixties, and I still get homesick for it. A wonderful place.

Come on lottery!
