If your I-phone is on the charger, and your biscuits won't rise, and you are craving the high-wire paper and ink thaumaturgy redolent of the columns of the saffron tinged badinage from the pen of David Day, editor of the infamous fish wrapper "The Solid Muldoon". I must highly recommend Joe E Cooper's terrific culinary tome, "WITH OR WITHOUT BEANS - an Informal Biography of Chili". It's full of good recipes for a bowl of red along with mountain man sized yarns, cowboy fableaux, outright confabulations, and mind boggling dialectics arising from too many jornadas across the llano. Treat yourself if you can find a copy. It's part of the Holy Trilogy of Chili books which include H. Allen Smith's "Great Chili Confrontation" and Frank Tolbert's "A Bowl of Red". If you can't find a copy, I will dig my copy out of my locked gun cabinet and let you fondle it if you bring a pair of new white cotton gloves and a reverent demeanor. SvH
